Photo cards are one of the best ways to celebrate events or news you want to share with family and friends.
Designs can range from simple greeting cards with attached photos to more custom designs that are printed on photographic paper. And with so many available designs, you can celebrate a variety of occasions, keep your family informed of upcoming events, or simply send a greeting to brighten someone’s day.
Here are some of the best photo designs and tips to help keep your circle in the know.
Welcoming in a New Year
This themed photo card can be sent for a New Year’s greeting or to announce an upcoming event, especially if it’s taking place in the early part of the year. Almost any type of announcement is suitable for this theme, but sending it out early in January is ideally the best time to use this style. Additionally, you can customize your new year photo card with the year in 3D, foil numbers, or bright colors. Graduation announcements are another perfect example of this card design.
Rating the Year
This is a cute design that lets you give a five-star rating — or less if you prefer — to the front of your card. Pick your favorite photo of the year that tells the story behind your rating. Perhaps you enjoyed a five-star holiday in a foreign country or you married the man or woman of your dreams. Celebrate that milestone by sending a photo card that lets your family and friends know why your year has been the best, ever. Although you can send this card anytime during the year, it’s a fun way to close out the holiday season. Be sure to order early and mail your cards during the first week of December if you plan to make this your Christmas card.
Saying Cheers Anytime
Miss your best friend? Have a picture-perfect moment that deserves its place on a photo card? Then use this card design any time of the year, whether you want to share a memory or make an announcement. Your friends will love receiving a cherished memory on their birthday, anniversary, graduation, or during the holiday season. Indeed, this card design has limitless possibilities.
Telling Your Personal Story
You can add a collection of your photos that tell your year’s story in eight pages. To start things off, compile your best vacation photos with your friends and send them a booklet card. A favorite among families with much to share throughout the year, this design is a big hit at Christmas. With an organized array of photos, you can honor all your family members by giving each person their own page in this booklet design. Save the last pages for group photos or add your pet to the story.
Including All Things Ornamental
This is a fun design that you can send during the holidays. The photo card is designed in the shape of an ornament and can be displayed on a Christmas tree or anywhere in the home for a personal, festive touch. Display a group photo in the center of the ornament or the new baby that arrived earlier in the year. Grandparents love collecting this type of card every year and could decorate a small tree with their grandchildren’s ornament cards. What a fun way to remember their growing years!
Don’t Forget to Celebrate the Important People and Things in Life
Photo cards can be a delightful part of someone’s day any time of the year. And they are appropriate for any reason, whether it’s a birthday or a gesture of goodwill. Sending photo cards to express condolences, apologies, thanks, or simply to say “hello” is a surefire way to let someone know you’re thinking of them. Plus, it adds a memorable touch that’s not easily forgotten but always appreciated!
