One way to improve your holiday tradition of Christmas card sending is by selecting themed Christmas cards. Themed Christmas cards come in boxes or packages of cards with matching envelopes. Each card has the same theme. While the pictures and messages may vary from card to card, the overall look, size, and general appearance are all the same.
Variations on a Theme
Christmas card options are endless these days. And so are options for themed Christmas cards. If it's Elvis you're in love with, chances are you can find a themed Christmas card collection featuring Elvis. Traditional designs abound, as do Scripture themes, Nativity themes, Santa themes, Christmas painting themes, food themes, gift themes, Christmas tree themes, animal themes, gingerbread man themes, snowman themes, reindeer themes, elf themes, cartoon character themes...you begin to get the idea.
The Fun of Themed Christmas Cards
Themed Christmas cards are a great idea for a variety of reasons, but the bottom line isthey are a lot more fun. Here are some advantages that you will experience with themed Christmas cards.
Saves time
Have you ever spent a considerable portion of your day poring over the thousands of picked-over cards in the card section at the storeonly to come away with one or two that you really like? Me too. Until I discovered themed Christmas cards, I spent precious portions of time trying to find a card with just the right message, mood, theme, verse, phrase, picture, size or price. Hopeless endeavor. Themed Christmas cards solved that problem. Finally, I was able to find one look that I really liked, and so I bought a couple boxes. That ended my selection problem permanently. Now, I'm hooked on one theme, and my only problem now is making sure that my friends don't receive the same card of that theme twice.
Saves money
It feels a bit odd at first to shell out a hunk of cash for cards. But when you realize the savings, it's worth it. Buying one quality Christmas card could cost you three bucks. Buying the same or superior quality card in a themed set is going to cost you mere pennies. The savings factor is reason enough to go with themed Christmas cards.
Stays consistent
It keeps things consistent, too. If someone thanks you for the cute Christmas card, you aren't thinking "Hmm. Was that the Snoopy card or the Santa card? All your cards have the same theme.
Maintains balanced variety
Variety is good, too. Any themed set will have a rotation of three to five pictures, mottos, or designs, so you're not getting, say, fifty of the same exact card. The variety is helpful. It keeps things interesting as you're jotting notes to friends or stuffing envelopes with cards. Sometimes, the card has a series of paintings by the same artist, or may contain different Christmas greetings or Scripture verses.
Themed cards are the way to go this Christmas. If you haven't tried them yet, I assure youyou won't be disappointed.
