Every December the same question: what do you write on Christmas cards for colleagues? Not too formal, not too cheeky, and ideally not thirty identical cards. A digital group card solves most of it. Here is how, with messages to borrow.
Business Christmas messages
- "Thank you for a great year of working together. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!"
- "Wishing you peaceful holidays and a wonderful start to the new year."
- "Thank you for your trust and good cooperation. We wish you a Merry Christmas."
- "May the new year bring you health, happiness and plenty of success."
Friendly messages for your own team
- "Merry Christmas to the best team in the building. See you in the new year!"
- "Thank you for the laughs, the biscuits and the help. Enjoy your break."
- "Wishing you a cosy Christmas with the people you love."
Funny messages
- "Merry Christmas! May your inbox be empty and your plate full."
- "Santa checked his list. You are on the nice one, mostly."
- "Out of office from the 24th until we find the courage to come back."
One digital card instead of thirty paper ones
A paper card travels from desk to desk, gets lost and is signed by half of the team. A digital group card has one link: everybody writes a message when it suits them, the colleagues who work from home can join in, and it is delivered by e-mail on the day you choose. It also saves postage and paper.
Tips
- Start early: in the first week of December, with a deadline of the 15th.
- Choose one design for the whole company, or one per team.
- Think of customers too: one card from the team feels warmer than a template mail.
- Be careful with religion and humour in an international team. A "happy holidays" works everywhere.
Send a Christmas card from your team in a few minutes. See also how to organise a card without anyone spilling the secret.
Frequently asked questions about the christmas card
What does it cost to send a christmas card digitally?
Starting is free: up to 7 people, one photo each, the free designs and a small watermark. For € 4.95 per card you get 20 people, two photos each, all designs, the slideshow and a PDF; for € 7.50 unlimited people and three photos. You pay once per card, never a subscription.
How long does it take to make the card?
About two minutes for the organiser. Everybody else opens the link, types a message and adds a photo.
Do the people who write need an account?
No. They open the link and write. Only the person who makes the card can choose to have an account.
When does the card arrive?
On the day and time you choose, by e-mail. The day before, the organiser gets a preview.
