This holiday season, you may find yourself walking a fine line between enjoyment and stress when choosing your holiday cards. With so many sources to check out and even more designs to choose from, it helps to have the exact photos you would like to use in mind before you start shopping online holiday cards.
Holiday Card Design Options
Non-photo Holiday Card Design First you’ll need to decide whether or not you want to personalize a card design with one of your own photos. You may decide to use a non-photo holiday card and simply include a photo enclosed in the envelope. This strategy works especially well when you want to send different photos to different people on your list, or when you have multiple photos to send.

Multi-Photo Holiday Card Designs If you can’t decide on one photo in particular, many card designs allow for such “collages” as part of their design. You may choose to go this route if you have a large family and don’t have a single great photo of everyone together, if you don’t particularly love any one of your photos, or if you want to share an image along with a family photo (e.g. such as a new house, a new baby, a new pet or a recent vacation!)

Single Photo Holiday Card Designs When you have a high quality photo you want to share, a single image photo card can have a wonderful impact. In this case, you’ll need to choose between a design that gives either full-scale coverage to your photo, or a design that incorporates the photo into other design elements.
