The traditionalists among us would never take tips on how to “personalize” their holiday cards. Things like hand-addressed envelopes, long-form letters, and penned signatures are second nature. But there may come a time when even a purist could run into trouble if there simply aren’t any good photos to insert by hand into their personalized holiday cards.
Photo-less Personalized Holiday Cards?
Maybe this year the group family picture didn’t get taken, or perhaps the family did not have the opportunity to gather together for a photo. Or maybe the photo turned out poorly. Whatever the reason, you could be “forced” to “personalize” this year’s card electronically rather than by hand. And you might even like it!
If you simply do not have a great family photo to use, the next best thing (and many of us would argue better thing) to do would be to create a collage of pictures online in a holiday card design. Instead of ordering photo prints to insert by hand into your holiday cards, order personalized holiday cards online with multiple, individual photos of each family member (or each “member family” for extended families).
Design a Multi-photo Holiday Collage
There are many great online holiday cards designs specifically created with this multiple photo approach in mind. You can showcase each family member individually to create an overall effect that can be more interesting than a single, group portrait photo. This is especially true for large families, where individual faces can get lost or look so small in the group shot.
One thing you will need to decide is whether to include yourself in the collage. If your ultimate goal is to showcase your family, replacing a group shot with multiple pictures of your children or their families without you in it is fine. But if on the other hand this personalized photo collage approach is in lieu of having the usual family portrait, you may want to make sure you include a picture of yourself (or yourselves as a couple) to meet expectations.
