When to Send a Thank You Card after Christmas?
Wondering when to send out your Christmas thank you cards? Whether you're getting organised before Christmas, or running behind schedule after the Christmas rush, you will be happy to know that there is no set rule! Whilst it's better to get your thank you cards sent early, it is never too late to send them out! However, here is our guide to sending out Christmas thank you cards:

When is best?

We recommend to send your thank you cards a week or so after Christmas. This gives you time to try out your presents and settle back into your routine, before having to worry about thanking friends and family members.

Receiving a thank you card late is better than not receiving one at all!

Card or message

Many people ask us whether it is okay to send a thank you message over text or social media. Whilst this still is polite and kind, we think that nothing compares to a handwritten thank you note! Choose a design that will remind them of you - it makes a wonderful keepsake! What should you write? The beauty of thank you cards is that you can say whatever you like! It is a special way to communicate between friends and family, so you can make it as personal as you wish.
