How to Write the Perfect Christmas Card

There’s something timeless about a handwritten Christmas card — a small envelope that carries warmth, thoughtfulness, and a touch of magic. In an age of instant messages, a beautifully written card is still one of the most heartfelt ways to show you care. Here’s how to make yours truly memorable this season — with a little help from our favourite Beaubrook products.

1. Choose a Card That Reflects You

Pick a design that suits the recipient — classic foil-pressed cards for longtime friends, minimalist designs for colleagues, or playful artwork for family. At Beaubrook, our high quality Christmas Cards are printed on heavyweight, textured stock to make every message feel special.

2. Open with Warmth

Begin with a sincere greeting. Short and genuine beats flowery language every time. Examples you can use:

• “Wishing you a Christmas filled with peace and joy.”
• “May your holidays be merry and your New Year bright.”
• “Thinking of you at this special time of year.”

3. Add a Personal Touch

A sentence that recalls a memory or expresses gratitude makes the card a keepsake. Try: “I loved our afternoon together this year — looking forward to many more.” If you’re sending to colleagues or clients, a short note of thanks goes a long way: “Thank you for your support this year — wishing you a prosperous 2026.”

4. Sign Off with Style

Finish with a warm closing such as “Warmest wishes,” or “With love,” then add your name.

5. Presentation Matters

Presentation is an extension of your sentiment. Envelope liners, wax seals, or a sprig of greenery show you’ve taken extra care. 

Quick Template Ideas

Not sure where to start? Here are three short templates you can adapt:

• Family & Friends: “Wishing you a cosy Christmas full of laughter. Can’t wait to see you in the New Year — love, [Your Name].”
• Colleagues: “Warm wishes for a peaceful Christmas and a successful New Year. Thank you for your partnership — [Your Name].”
• Clients: “Season’s greetings. Thank you for your trust this year — wishing you a prosperous 2026. Best regards, [Your Name / Company].”

Final Thought

A perfect Christmas card doesn’t need to be long or poetic — it needs to be genuine. When you take a moment to write from the heart and wrap your message in thoughtful presentation, you give a gift that will be treasured long after the season ends.
