Christmas is all about spreading joy and holding your loved ones close to you. With the holiday season upon us, what better way to spread love and warmth than by sending personalized Christmas postcards to your loved ones?
In this guide, we’ll take you through the creative process of designing a catchy Christmas postcard, helping you create one that not only captures the spirit of the season but also reflects your unique style and sentiments. What better way to do this than with PosterMyWall?
What should I include in my Christmas postcards?
Most postcards are just about sending well wishes to your loved ones. This means you need to have the standard Christmas greetings and maybe throw in a dad-joke or a Christmas pun (it never hurts to squeeze out a laugh from people). You can even personalize your postcards according to each person you’re sending one to.
However, if this postcard is also to extend an invitation to a Christmas gathering or event, you’re going to have to be a little more elaborate with the text you add. Make sure you mention the venue, timings, and RSVP contact information.
Layouts and designs to try
Not sure how to start designing your Christmas postcards? Here are a few tips (and templates) that you can keep in mind when you pull out your inner creative.
Remember, these are just ideas to get you started. At the end of the day your Christmas postcard needs to resonate with your aesthetic.
Embrace the festive color palette
Like all great occasions, Christmas has a color palette that speaks for itself, and is immediately recognizable. This really makes things simpler for you if you’re confused about what your design should look like.
Statement colors like red, white and green immediately convey the Christmas spirit before you even get the chance to read what’s written on the holiday postcard. Here are some templates that will get the job done:
Modern and minimalist
Too many bright colors might not be to your taste and that’s completely okay! Some people prefer having designs that are modern and minimal, not going overboard unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Modern postcards tend to be flatter, with less colors, but still tactfully convey the purpose of the message. Here are some modern designs that we think you might love:
Personalize it for your family
A personal touch can only make things better. It’s a popular Christmas trend to make family photo postcards rather than just random store-bought ones.
Customizable Christmas postcards make this job less tedious than it sounds. All you have to do is upload your family picture to the template, and you’ll be good to go. This makes the entire experience much more thoughtful and personal, and honestly it’s just way more fun!
Here are some examples of templates that you can use to create your own family postcard in minutes:
Make it magical!
Christmas is about embracing the magic of the festive season. With all the gift giving, sparkly lights, and glamorous Christmas trees, you can’t convince us that there isn’t a little bit of magic in the air!
You can try out making postcards that convey that sparkly feeling perfectly! Deep royal colors, and splashes of gold tend to do the job perfectly. Here are some examples that will explain exactly what we mean:
