This can feel like a lot of pressure! For stress free Christmas cards from your first Christmas card ideas right through to writing your message and popping them in the mail, Paperlust has you covered. Read on for our guide to writing Christmas greeting cards that your friends will want to keep for years to come. We\u2019ve included tonnes of advice and sample Christmas sayings for cards to make things simple.<\/p>\n<h2>Two Parts to Christmas Card Greetings<\/h2>\n<p>Christmas greetings for cards often come in two parts: what is printed on the card and what you write in it. The printed part might be on the front of the card, or the front might just feature a picture while the message is printed inside the card. A traditional merry Christmas card (like what you\u2019ll find in Christmas card packs from the shops) will often have an illustrated front with something like \u2018Season\u2019s Greetings\u2019 or \u2018Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year\u2019 printed inside.<\/p>\n<p>If you create your own card using a custom template like our Paperlust designs, or opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/blog\/2021-best-handmade-christmas-cards-ideas\/\">DIY Christmas cards<\/a> or free printable Christmas cards, you can get more in depth, printing text that\u2019s intended for all your guests. This might cover everything from<\/p>\n<p>If the card is blank inside, your xmas card messages will be entirely handwritten.<\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"EN\">Things to Write in Christmas Cards<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While we are most commonly asked about how to make Christmas cards personal, it\u2019s inevitable that you\u2019ll have to rely on some generic sentiments in your Christmas cards as well. This gives you a starting point to build from.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most common Christmas messages for cards include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Merry Christmas<\/li>\n<li>Happy Christmas<\/li>\n<li>Season\u2019s greetings<\/li>\n<li>Holiday greetings<\/li>\n<li>Happy Holidays<\/li>\n<li>Merry Christmas and a happy new year<\/li>\n<li>Peace and joy<\/li>\n<li>Christmas wishes<\/li>\n<li>We wish you a merry Christmas<\/li>\n<li>Yuletide greetings<\/li>\n<li>Feliz Navidad<\/li>\n<li>Christmas greetings<\/li>\n<li>Greetings of the season<\/li>\n<li>Joyeux Noel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the perfect starting point when writing Christmas wishes for cards, and because they are short they frequently feature on the front or in large text inside. Whatever Christmas cards ideas you\u2019ve got, and whether you\u2019re opting for homemade Christmas cards, Christmas e cards or professionally designed Christmas cards, these are the little snippets of text that are key to making Christmas cards feel&#8230;well, Christmassy!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-card-1.jpg\" rel='prettyPhoto'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10794\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-card-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-card-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-card-1-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-card-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>General Christmas Messages<\/h2>\n<p>Whether printed or handwritten, most people will have general xmas messages for their cards &#8211; things they want to communicate to everybody they write a card to. It can be challenging to know how to make a Christmas card read appropriately for your whole audience, so it can be best to have a template merry Christmas greeting card written out that you can simply tweak or add to as you go, depending who you are writing to.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<br \/>\n<em>Merry Christmas to my family and friends! May this holiday season be full of joy and peace, and may your celebrations be blessed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you use your Christmas cards as an opportunity to share what happened during the year, you might add a message about your family too.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<br \/>\n<em>2018 has been a big year for the Jameson family! Dave started a new job with Eastern Health in March, and has been really enjoying the work. He continued playing footy and was proud to be awarded best and fairest. Jess has been kept busy enjoying the new challenges of being a mum to two. She has been getting involved in the school community and still enjoys playing netball each week. Lucy started grade prep in February and has been thriving. She is turning into a great reader and loves our regular trips to the library. Lucy loves being a big sister and never leaves Max\u2019s side when she\u2019s at home. Max is now a happy 7 month old. He recently started on solid food and mashed banana is his favourite.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We hope 2018 has been as kind to you as it has been to us, and we wish all our friends and family a wonderful 2019.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re confident that your generic message is going to suit all your guests, consider printing it on your holiday cards and adding small handwritten Christmas card notes for your closest family and friends. This is a great way to add a personal touch without having to make your own homemade Christmas cards from scratch. Easy Christmas cards (that still have the charm of handmade xmas cards) are the dream at such a busy time of year! And thanks to Paperlust, simple Christmas cards don\u2019t have to mean printing them on computer paper or emailing e xmas card at the last minute: you can create Christmas cards that are perfectly suited to you without all the fuss that normally accompanies anything personalised.<\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"EN\">Christmas Card Words<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When writing your merry xmas cards, there are a number of words you can use throughout to give that warm Christmas feel. Consider dotting your greetings for Christmas with words like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cheer<\/li>\n<li>Merry<\/li>\n<li>Warm<\/li>\n<li>Blessed<\/li>\n<li>Festive<\/li>\n<li>Happy<\/li>\n<li>Joy<\/li>\n<li>Peace<\/li>\n<li>Goodwill<\/li>\n<li>Wishes<\/li>\n<li>Greetings<\/li>\n<li>Holidays<\/li>\n<li>Yuletide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, consider throwing in words like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Frosty<\/li>\n<li>Winter \/ wintry<\/li>\n<li>Snow \/ snowmen<\/li>\n<li>Icy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are also endless Christmassy things you can refer to, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gifts<\/li>\n<li>Santa<\/li>\n<li>Stockings<\/li>\n<li>Angels<\/li>\n<li>Christmas tree<\/li>\n<li>Holly<\/li>\n<li>Elves<\/li>\n<li>Reindeer and sleigh<\/li>\n<li>Candy canes<\/li>\n<li>Fruitcake or mince pies<\/li>\n<li>Nativity<\/li>\n<li>Carols \/ carolers<\/li>\n<li>Mistletoe<\/li>\n<li>Eggnog<\/li>\n<li>Tradition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Christmas_greeting_cards_3.jpg\" rel='prettyPhoto'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7454 size-full\" title=\"Christmas Greetings\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Christmas_greeting_cards_3.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Greetings\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Christmas_greeting_cards_3.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Christmas_greeting_cards_3-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Christmas_greeting_cards_3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"EN\">Personal Christmas Messages<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A personal Christmas message is the easiest way to make a Christmas card truly meaningful, especially if it is handwritten. This is important for all Christmas cards, but especially Christmas cards for your girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband, kids, parents, or best friend. Your Christmas or happy holidays cards should be as emotional (or not) as is normal for you and in your relationship.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a personal message could say something like:<\/p>\n<p><em>Merry Christmas Dad! I\u2019m so excited for the chance to celebrate with you again after all these years. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a wonderful new year full of all the things you love. Can\u2019t wait to see you soon. Love, Jemma. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But personal Christmas wishes for cards could also mean something like:<\/p>\n<p><em>Dear Amy &#8211; Wishing you a very merry Christmas, filled with family and friends, joy and peace. You are the love of my life and I am so grateful for each and every day I get to spend with you. All I want for Christmas is you, truly. Love forever, Mick. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Flipped around the other way, these two messages might seem strange and out of place. The trick is to know your audience and write from the heart!<\/p>\n<h2>Religious Christmas card verses<\/h2>\n<p>For many, Christmas is about far more than just presents and food: it\u2019s an important time of year on the religious calendar as well. This is often celebrated with a traditional Christmas card. Christian Christmas cards often feature Bible verses.<\/p>\n<p>Popular Christmas verses for greeting cards include (all xmas card verses written here from the NIV):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Isaiah 9:6 &#8211; <em>\u201cFor to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders, and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Isaiah 7:14 &#8211; <em>\u201cTherefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.\u201d <\/em><\/li>\n<li>Luke 2:10-11 &#8211; <em>\u201cBut the angel said to them, \u2018Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.\u201d <\/em><\/li>\n<li>John 1:14 &#8211; <em>\u201cThe Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li>John 3:16 &#8211; <em>\u201cFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The lyrics to some of the more religious Christmas carols also make great Christmas verses for cards.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cSilent night! Holy night! Son of God, love\u2019s pure light\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cJoy to the world!

These quotes are perfect if you\u2019re looking for Christmas card greeting ideas and don\u2019t have anything you particularly want to say. They make a great starting point for the rest of your xmas card greetings, and can either be printed on your cards if you\u2019re going to create your own cards and have them printed or are opting for Christmas cards homemade, or can be written on blank Christmas cards.<\/p>\n<p>Popular quotes for your Christmas and New Year cards include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cTwas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.\u201d <\/em>&#8211; Clement Clarke Moore<\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cOne of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas Day.

Making xmas cards funny can be tricky: you want it to seem natural, not forced. If you\u2019re just going for cheap Christmas cards, you might feel more inclined to experiment, but if you\u2019re going to spend money on premium or luxury Christmas cards it can feel like a big risk! But it doesn\u2019t have to. The key is to know your audience and make sure you create a Christmas card that everyone on your Christmas card list will be able to appreciate, from your best friend to your grandma.<\/p>\n<p>Quotes from songs, books or movies are perfect for funny xmas card messages, or you can put a funny spin on a Christmas theme. Some fun choices include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cAll I want for Christmas is my two front teeth\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cThe best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear\u201d <\/em>&#8211; \u2018Elf\u2019<\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cIt\u2019s all fun and games until Santa checks the naughty list\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cDon\u2019t get your tinsel in a tangle\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cSanta Claus has the right idea.

Just make sure everyone receiving a card will understand the joke! If you want to include your own in-joke on a card, Paperlust is ideal for funny Christmas cards in Australia or overseas, because our Christmas card creator tool gives you full control over the text. When you create Christmas cards online you can make sure the wording is perfect, then our design team will make sure it looks great and our customer service team will get it shipped express to you, so can be confident that you\u2019ll have your cards for Christmas.<\/p>\n<h2>Aussie Christmas Greetings<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re in Australia and post Christmas cards to friends and family overseas, you might want to add some Aussie greetings for something a little unique. For the full effect, choose Australian themed Christmas cards as well! Both Aussie Christmas cards and Aussie Christmas wishes typically hinge on reminding people you\u2019re celebrating in the summertime on the beach or in the bush.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to write \u2018G\u2019day from Down Under\u2019 just because you want to send Christmas wishes from Australia (although you can if you like!). Consider writing something like:<\/p>\n<p><em>Merry Christmas from sunny Australia! I\u2019ll be celebrating the silly season this year with a beer at the beach, a long way from our usual traditions! Hope you all have a great holiday &#8211; can\u2019t wait to catch up when I\u2019m home.

That means whether you\u2019re looking for Christmas cards for kids, family or baby\u2019s first Christmas Australia wide or beyond, you\u2019ll be able to get something that\u2019s perfect for the occasion. We make it easy to make Christmas cards online that come out looking professional and luxurious. One of our most popular options for kids are our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/browse\/christmas-cards\/photo-card\/\">photo Christmas cards<\/a><\/strong>. Instead of working out how to make Christmas cards at home with kids without making a mess (somehow!), why not use a photo of your kids or a photo of a piece of art your child created during the year?<\/p>\n<p>But once you\u2019ve got the perfect childrens Christmas cards, what then? How do you write cute Christmas greetings or personal Christmas messages for children\u2019s cards? There are two approaches to getting amazing Christmas cards from your kids: either let them do their thing and hope it comes out cute, or take a more hands-on approach.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re letting them do their thing, either have them dictate what to put in a Christmas card and write it out for them, or let them write their own, depending on their age and capability. If you want to offer more guidance, you might want to write out some greetings for Christmas cards that they can copy out (or write out a xmas card template in pencil and let them trace over it).<\/p>\n<p>Simple Christmas card ideas for greetings might include something like:<\/p>\n<p><em>Dear Uncle Jim and Aunty Bec, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Love from Isla.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is simple and easy to copy, but coming from your child will be super meaningful for the recipients.<\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"EN\">Business Christmas Greetings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Writing a happy Christmas card isn\u2019t always a personal thing &#8211; sometimes you\u2019re writing Christmas card greetings for business purposes instead. Writing Christmas greetings for clients, colleagues or other professional contacts can often be even more difficult than writing a personal note, since you don\u2019t have the same sort of emotions or shared experiences to draw on for inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>Corporate cards often come in the form of Christmas thank you cards in addition to simple well-wishing, thanking clients for their business or staff members for their service through the year. A corporate Christmas card is also a form of advertising, reminding people of your company and attempting to inspire good will for the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>Christmas greeting messages for businesses should be kept simple and to-the-point. It\u2019s also a good idea to avoid religious messaging on Christmas greetings to clients (although whether you extend this to avoiding \u2018Christmas\u2019 altogether and simply wishing \u2018Happy Holidays\u2019 or \u2018Season\u2019s Greetings\u2019 is up to you).<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/business-christmas-cards\/\">corporate Christmas card ideas<\/a><\/strong>, browse our collection today, and take a look at our complete guide to Christmas greetings for business while you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n<p>Sample Christmas card messages for business may read:<\/p>\n<p><em>Dear Mr Jones, Wishing you and your family a very happy holidays and a joyful New Year.
