Slashing The Cost In Giving Christmas Greeting Cards

By Alaric Sowerby


Holiday greeting cards will surely add up to your expenditures this coming Christmas. In case you would like to reduce your expenses then shopping for Christmas cards might not be an inexpensive choice. But how about friends and colleagues that are looking forward for your greetings? Below are some guidelines to minimise Christmas card expending.

1. List down the names of your recipients. You can't send greeting cards to everyone with no list of names. This is one simple reminder and this should be made even before you drive to stores to buy greeting cards.

2. Minimize your listing. You could be the most generous friend or the most thoughtful fellow but you ought to establish a limit with regards to the number of greeting cards you're sending. First of all, you do not want to fork out excessively for cards. Also, you do not want to give greetings to individuals whom you hardly ever shared valuable time with. Unless you hold a large congregation or you are a manager of a big firm, you can narrow down your list to include people who know you and people you know.

3. Choose cheaper choices. A number of pricey Christmas cards are just like the less costly ones. If that's the case, you should go for the cheaper ones. Your recipient wouldn't use the greeting cards anyway once they have read them. These types of greeting cards will become reminders or mementos. As long as they appear really good, no one would ask how much you paid for them. Less expensive cards could give you much savings so save up some cash and go for not so expensive greeting cards.

4. Check if you can reuse old greeting cards. Check if you have unsent greeting cards not too long ago which you still can use. These particular old greeting cards can help you save somehow this Christmas, so just store them until your card giving schedule.

5. Use old pictures. Requesting the Christmas card producer to personalise your greeting cards will mean you will have to pay them more. Customize cards you give to family and friends by including pictures. Consider pictures you've stored in a long time. You can likewise print selected photographs from your digital camera. These particular pictures can be used to make your cards extra special. You might possibly put a smile to somebody who will be viewing the picture. It is great to recall some fond memories on Christmas and you may perhaps produce personalised Christmas cards without needing to work too hard.

6. Ask friends to assist you in giving out the greeting cards to the recipients. Forget about spending money on postage and have friends to hand out your greeting cards to those included in your list. Definitely, you'll have to give a few of the greeting cards directly to your friends and family members. Put it on their table or beside their cup of coffee in the morning or insert one to the most used book of your pal. Do it your way. Christmas cards for distant people would need to be delivered through mail.
