Thank you, Walmart for sponsoring this post. All the stated opinions and experiences are mine. We make more of an effort during the Holidays to stay in touch, reach out and reconnect with friends and family. This is one of the reasons why I love this time of year. Every text message, phone call, visit and Christmas card from a loved one goes straight to the heart. This year, when you prepare your Holiday card list remember ALL the important people in your life! Here are the 10 people who should always be on your Holiday card list. I am also sharing tips on how to save time and money creating your Holiday cards. The 10 People Who Should Always be on Your Holiday/ Christmas Card List! Plus tips on how to save time and money on your holiday/ Christmas cards! [bctt tweet=”Do you have these 10 people on your #Holiday card list? Save time and money with #WalmartPhoto. #SK #ad”]
 

10 People Who Should be on Your Holiday Card List: 

  1. Parents: Even if you see them regularly. They want to have a card on their wall to brag about their adorable family.
  2. In-laws: For the same reason as # 1 and to remind them that although you may not have been their first choice for their child, in the end you were the best choice.
  3. Siblings: It is easy to forget the people closest to us, so make an effort to mail this card early.
  4. Friends: Every year I am so excited to add a few new people to this list. There are a number of people with whom we “only” exchange Holiday cards, but it is wonderful to know that we at least stay in touch.
  5. Relatives: Near and far! Our Holiday card tradition here in the United States is a little unique. My relatives in Denmark are not as accustomed to sending cards as we are. I still send my extended family Holiday cards every year. While I may forget their birthdays, anniversaries and other milestones, they have come to expect and look forward our annual card.
  6. Neighbors: Instead of mailing these cards, spend an hour one evening and hand-deliver them – perhaps even with a batch of freshly baked cookies. Try it, you may just be surprised at all the good cheer you receive in return.
  7. Social media friends: Don’t forget the friends you have made online. A lot of times they offer support and friendship in a way your local friends can’t. Show your appreciation by reaching out “the old fashioned way” with a card in the mail.
  8. Business contacts: If you are a business owner, consider sending one of your family’s photo cards to your closest business relationships. It makes you more relatable and can open the door for great conversations on a more personal level.
  9. Teachers: Showing your child’s teacher how adorable your little cherub’s family is can’t hurt.
  10. Doctors & other professionals: Ok, so you don’t have to send cards to every single medical professional who has ever laid eyes on you. But if there are a few specialists who have made a dramatic difference in your life over the past year(s), go ahead and send a card.

          The 10 People Who Should Always be on Your Holiday/ Christmas Card List! Plus tips on how to save time and money on your holiday/ Christmas cards! Practical tips to stay organized:

  • We keep an “old school” address book with everyone’s contact information. We check off the people we sent cards to by writing the current year on an empty line. This ensures that we never forget anybody from the previous years.
  • We confirm from the return address, when we receive cards and letters in the mail, that we have their most current address on file.
  • We always order 5-10 extra cards, so we can reciprocate and send a last-minute card if someone unexpectedly sends us a card. Their name is then added to the address book for next year’s Holiday card list.

Save Time and Money Ordering Cards:

  • Check out Walmart Photo. We received Holiday cards from Walmart Photo and loved the quality, convenience and price – the trifecta of Holiday shopping success.
  • Why Walmart Photo?

    • The quality of the paper and envelopes is top notch.
