I have purchased company Christmas cards for many years from The Gallery Collection and every year each person who receives them comments on how beautiful they are. I used to believe that having my name imprinted on the card was too impersonal, but then I realized instead of wasting my time writing my signature, I could write a personal message instead which then in turn makes them my personal custom Christmas cards.
Each year I use the previous year’s leftover cards to send to new names on my Christmas cards list, but last year I inadvertently sent the same design to a vendor two years in a row. However, she still made the same nice comment about the card and totally forgot that I had given her the same card the previous year. Truly, she made such a fuss about how beautiful the card was both years, I think she didn’t want me to know that she knew it was the same card!
Not Always! That’s my answer to your title! I keep all my cards and have a great memory, so if i see that looks familiar, i search last years cards to see who sent it. But, since the cards from The Gallery Collection are such high quality, it really does not matter!
That is a great idea to use leftover cards to send to new contacts or friends. I never know what to do with them. I don’t want to resend the same card year after year. Good idea 🙂
Jodie I agree. whats the point oof sending the same christmas card multiple years. Some may notice and some may not. The point is that not a lot of thought is going into the sentiment if its always the same card.
In all honesty, its very difficult to remember exactly which card came from which business a year later. I think with so many options available though, it would be a shame not to make use of all the other designs and artwork out there!
