Of all the holiday tasks we moms plan for during the season, ordering and sending personalized holiday cards is one of the more time consuming things we do. It’s not usually something that can be done in one step, but there are ways you can be more efficient.
No matter where you get your holiday cards, or whether you make them yourself at home, the experts at www.LookLoveSend.com know what to do to get your personalized holiday cards into the mail with relative ease. Here are 5 simple steps you can take now before the season gets into full swing. While you are shopping for the perfect card design, or still waiting for that perfect holiday photo opp, use this list to be extra efficient this year:
- Organize your list now. If you’re old school and have a paper list, get it out now so you can start updating it. If you’re hi-tech, decide how to pull contacts from your smartphone onto your computer. If you have your list already in a tidy spreadsheet on your computer, print off a copy for back-up, and mark changes or add new recipients.
- Budget for stamps and purchase what you need over the coming weeks. At nearly 50 cents for one stamp, it takes less of a toll on your wallet.
- Plan to order pre-addressed envelopes with your cards to save time later, OR
- Order home address stickers or stamps now.
- Address and stamp just your envelopes first. Involve your kids–if they can play with stickers they can stamp envelopes! You’ll be surprised how this one simple step saves you a lot of time.
Make holiday cards this year that are as easy as they are personal, stylish and hassle-free. LookLoveSend.com can help you simplify by offering beautiful, original holiday card designs that are easy to customize with one or more photos. Once you’ve chosen your card design and have your personal photo(s) ready, make sure you also plan to order extra cards for last minute add-ons to your holiday card list. Also, always order more envelopes than people on your list so you are ready for late-breaking address changes or addressing mistakes.
