The festive season is the perfect time of the year to connect with family, friends and acquaintances via luxury Rosemood Christmas cards that are delivered to the recipient’s door by the postal service.
During the weeks leading up to Christmas Day, the postal service handles an increased volume of mail due to people sending seasonal greeting cards and gifts to loved ones all over the world. Although social media may have influenced the decrease in sending Xmas cards in the traditional way, there are still people who appreciate the value and importance of sending and receiving handwritten Christmas cards.
If you’re on the fence about whether to keep with tradition or to follow the social media trend, here are the top 3 reasons to send Christmas cards in 2021…
- Show People That You Care
Everyone loves to receive cards in the mailbox to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, milestone event, or the season of goodwill. Sending chic Rosemood Christmas cards in the post is a thoughtful means of communication that shows the recipient that you care about them.
As you prepare to write out one of the cards from your pile of Xmas cards, it’s a lovely idea to take a moment to think about the individual that you are writing to. Think of them receiving your beautiful Christmas card in the post, and visualise them holding it in their hands. As they read your personalised message of festive cheer imagine their face lighting up with a beaming smile.
If you’re sending a Christmas card to someone who lives some distance away, you may want to share news about your life during the past 12 months. You can pen a traditional Round Robin letter to include with your personalised Xmas card, or you can place a photo o a happy, newsworthy family event inside the card as you insert it inside its envelope.
You can also show people that you care by sending a Christmas present that will be greatly appreciated, inside your Xmas card. A luxurious high quality paper card is the best option for sending a monetary gift in the form of cash or a cheque. You can also include gift cards and gift vouchers as a sign of your love and appreciation.
To make the task of handwriting a stack of Christmas cards, and addressing their envelopes, a more fun and enjoyable experience, you can play your favourite Christmas music in the background, or watch a classic seasonal movie while you work.
- Deliver A Personal Greeting Of Goodwill
A carefully chosen Christmas card can help you convey a multitude of emotions and feelings that you may not be able to express in words. If you can’t be with loved ones during the seasonal festivities, sending a personalised message inside a luxury bespoke Xmas card is the next best thing.
To ensure that your personal greeting is thoughtful and meaningful, let it come straight from the heart. Think about what the specific person means to you, and how much you value and appreciate having them in your life. Communicate your message using language and words that bring your card to life. Share your heartfelt thoughts or your sense of humour, to create a greeting of goodwill that is deeply personal.
It’s also worth remembering that you’re unlikely to send the same type of Xmas card and greeting to your parents/family as well as to your friends. To choose the right card, it’s a good idea to keep in mind who the card is for, as well as the type personalised message that you want to add to it.
As a general rule, it’s acceptable to openly express yourself to family and close friends, when handwriting Christmas cards. Co-workers and neighbours will appreciate genuine sentiments. Keep your greeting short and sweet, when writing Xmas cards to people that you don’t know so well.
- Not Everyone Is Switched On To Social Media
Receiving a pile of Xmas cards in the mailbox is far more satisfying and rewarding than having an email inbox filled with e-cards. While social media may have tons of appeal for the younger generation, not everyone you know relies on it for all forms of communication. Older people, with traditional values, may still prefer to disconnect from social media when it comes o sending Christmas cards to family and friends.
In our social media-centric society, many people consider that posting an updated festive status and an accompanying selfie is more than adequate for sharing a Christmas message with followers. Others however, still prefer to keep it classic and traditional by exchanging physical Xmas cards.
As the recipient, when you hold a Christmas card in your hands you know that the sender has taken the time to think about you, and to manually write and send their personalised season’s greetings. You can read their message over and over again, and display the beautiful card on the mantelpiece in your living room, or hang it on a piece of twine strung up across the wall in the hall.
Once the Christmas festivities are over some people like to save their Xmas cards to use for crafts throughout the year. The most striking and gorgeous designs are ideal for creative recycling projects like making stylish bookmarks and pretty gift tags.
When sending luxury Rosemood Christmas cards to your family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances, instead of relying on social media to do the job, you’ll feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that your efforts will be appreciated.
