What to Include on Your Gatefold Christmas Cards

When designing your folded photo Christmas cards, make sure to include the key elements that will make them truly special. This is your chance to send a personalized holiday message to everyone on your list, so think about the memories you want to share and the tone you want to set. Here are some ideas for making your cards as warm and personal as possible:

• A holiday greeting: Start with a classic “Merry Christmas” or something more unique like “Wishing you a season full of joy and laughter”
• Your names or family signature: Let them know who’s sending the love this year—whether it’s just the two of you, the whole family, or even a new addition to your crew.
• A favorite photo or collage: Use the expanded layout of gatefold Christmas cards to highlight multiple moments — from matching pajamas on Christmas morning to your snowy adventures or a polished family portrait. The fold-out design gives you room to share the season from every angle.
• Personal message: Add a note that feels true to your family’s personality — whether that’s a warm holiday wish, a playful inside joke, or a meaningful update from the past year. This space is your chance to make your Christmas card feel more like a letter home.
