Grandparents Day Cards

How to Add a Personal Touch to Grandparents’ Day Cards

An easy way to show your thanks to the grandparents in your life is to give them a card on their special day. A card shows you’re thinking of them and you appreciate them, but you can add a personal touch to make them even more special. Here are a few ideas on how to personalize your Grandparents’ Day cards through Shutterfly.

Include a Photo of the Grandkids on the Inside

Grandparents usually love to see their grandkids, but it’s not always possible to meet them every day. Provide them with photo prints of their grandbabies and tuck them inside the card as a surprise when they open the fold. If you want to take it one step further, customize a photo frame for them to display the pictures in.

Try Attaching a Handprint Gift

Along with the card, include a gift such as a desktop plaque or framed photo of the grandkids’ handprints. To do this, have the grandkids make paint handprints on a blank sheet of paper. After it dries, scan the image into a computer. You can now use it just like any other photo and apply it to the many different photo gifts on Shutterfly, such as a mug, wall calendar, photo collage, or photo jewelry charms.

Make Your Own Design and Wording

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a photo. You can also personalize Grandparents’ Day cards by printing one with your own design and words. This makes the card unique because it’s not one you simply found in a convenience store. You created every part of it, and it will really come straight from your heart.

Let the Grandkids Help

If you’re running low on ideas for what to do for the grandparents in your life, then turn to the grandkids. They often have unique and creative ideas, and the grandparents are sure to love the fact that the grandkids were involved in the process. Show your love on Grandparents’ Day by implementing one of these easy ideas for your card.
