Sending wishes for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards\/merry-christmas-cards\/\">Merry Christmas<\/a> has been a longtime debate as you do not want to offend anyone.&nbsp; I say still send the spirit of the holidays but keep it more generic in the formal imprint such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/holiday-cards\/happy-holiday-cards\/\">Happy Holidays<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/holiday-cards\/\">Seasons Greetings<\/a>.&nbsp; Then you can make it personal but adding a handwritten Merry Christmas or other personal note depending on the recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next tip I will give you is to send your holiday cards on time.\u00a0 Do not be that person that mails out their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards\/\">Christmas cards<\/a> on December 26.\u00a0 Then what started out as a warm gesture, turns into what will seem like a last minute token.\u00a0 If for some reason you fell behind, skip the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards\/\">Christmas card<\/a> and send a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/new-year-cards\/\">Happy New Year card<\/a>.\u00a0 These can be sent as late as January 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, be sure to put your return address on the\nenvelope.&nbsp; This is helpful in many\nways.&nbsp; What if the recipient wants to\nreturn the gesture but doesn\u2019t have your address?&nbsp; If someone is no longer at the address you\nmailed their holiday card to or you made an error in addressing the envelope and\nyou added your return address, you will get the card back and resend it to the\ncorrect address.\n\nHave a Happy Holiday!\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sending out holiday cards is like sending a, \u201cHello, we care about you!\u201d\u00a0 Your customers, employees, family and&hellip;","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":9587,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1293,1296,1304,1317,4],"tags":[41,50,88,753],"class_list":{"0":"post-9586","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business-insights","8":"category-tips-and-trends","9":"category-holiday-card-etiquette","10":"category-personalization","11":"category-business-christmas-cards","12":"tag-holiday-cards","13":"tag-christmas-cards","14":"tag-seasons-greetings-cards","15":"tag-new-years-cards","16":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tips For Sending Your Holiday Cards - Business Greeting Card Blogs &amp;
