Tips for Sending Business Holiday Cards

Holiday cards may be short, but they leave a lasting impression—so it pays to get the details right. Keep these tips in mind when creating business holiday cards:

  • Personalize when possible. Even a small touch, like addressing clients by name, makes your message feel more thoughtful.
  • Keep it professional. Warmth is great, but avoid humor or phrases that could be misinterpreted.
  • Mind your audience. Stick with inclusive greetings like “Happy Holidays” or “Season’s Greetings” if you’re unsure of religious preferences.
  • Invest in quality. A well-designed card on premium paper shows care and reflects your brand’s professionalism.
  • Don’t wait too long. Mail your cards early in December so they arrive before the holiday rush.

2024 is wrapping up, and it’s time to celebrate the festive season! At Shutterfly, we’ve curated a stunning collection of holiday cards that bring together laughter, warmth, and heartfelt messages. Whether you want to send a lighthearted greeting or a more sincere note, we’ve got the perfect card for every occasion.

Our custom holiday cards are fully editable, from photos to messages, giving you the freedom to create a card that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Funny Holiday Cards for 2025

The holiday season is a time to share your love, joy, and if you have it, humor! Explore our wide range of funny holiday cards that can all be personalized to fit your unique holiday style. Holiday cards should always stay true to you and your family’s personalities, so what better way to show your playful sides than through your holiday stationary. Show the people you love that you and your kids are still as joyous and funny as ever. From inside jokes, to ugly Christmas sweaters, unique holiday cards are a hilarious way to spread laughter to the people you love.

With gift buying, home decorating, and party planning, it can be easy to lose sight of what the holiday season is really about. Something as simple as sending out funny Christmas cards can brighten someone’s day with laughter. Whether you are newlyweds or a family of ten, funny holiday cards are the perfect way to show your true and honest personality through a photo and card. Capturing the perfect snapshot of your family for your holiday card can be quite a difficult task. Getting a perfectly timed photo where everyone in your family looks good is a nearly impossible mission, especially if you are taking photos with your big family. With humorous holiday cards, all of that stress is alleviated. You no longer have to spend hours posing with your family until you find your flawless shot. These photos will give your family and friends a good laugh and remind us of all the messy and chaotic lives we live.

Showcasing Your Family’s Year in Review

One popular idea for 2025 is creating a “Year in Review” holiday card. Use a layout that combines photos from significant moments throughout the year, and add captions or highlights to share your favorite memories. Whether it’s a family vacation, a child’s achievement, or just everyday joys, these cards provide a thoughtful way to reflect on your year while spreading holiday cheer.

Recycled Paper Holiday Cards

Sustainability continues to be a focus for 2025. Opt for 100% recycled paper options when designing your cards. Shutterfly offers a range of recycled paper holiday card options, allowing you to spread holiday joy while minimizing your environmental impact. You can also choose simpler packaging to reduce waste, ensuring your cards are both beautiful and mindful.

2025 Messaging: Focus on Gratitude and Togetherness

Holiday messaging in 2025 focuses on themes of gratitude and togetherness. After a year where many people have focused on reconnecting with loved ones, your card’s message can reflect that spirit. Choose wording that emphasizes love, family, and the joy of coming together during the holidays. You can also personalize your message with specific details about your family’s year or plans for the upcoming holiday season.
