The History of Sending Holiday Cards
According to the Smithsonian, the first holiday cards as we know them were sent in 1843. The inventor, Henry Cole, had too many friends. He didn’t have enough time to send an individual letter to everyone (an old tradition in England). So, he printed a series of cards with a generic greeting. That way, he only needed to write the name of each recipient. It was a simple way to spread the holiday cheer with fewer hand cramps.
Today, the tradition has evolved significantly. While you can always send generic cards to all your friends and family, many people agree that the best holiday cards are custom ones. Increasingly, families love sending our custom cards with photos of them in holiday garb. Some of these a sweet, others are silly, and some are serious. Whatever your preference, you can make the perfect card with a custom design.
