I'm back with Part Two of my Holiday Boot Camp! If you missed Part One, you can check that out here! How is your gift giving list coming along?
This week it is all about Christmas Cards...
Do you
send Christmas Cards? I absolutely love sending them, but they are a bit of
work and require some planning. If Christmas Cards aren't your thing and you
don't want them to be your thing, just hold tight until next week -- there is no
rule that says you have to send Christmas Cards, and you shouldn't spend time
and money on doing something you don't enjoy.
If you love sending Christmas Cards, start thinking
about what style card you would like to send? I like using Snapfish or
Shutterfly to create a photo card -- so I am going to need a cute photo of
Hubby and Me. If you like sending a folded (non-photo) card, I would recommend Papyrus for their beautiful cards.
Next, start thinking about when you would like to
have your cards mailed by. I am shooting to take my Christmas Cards to the post
office by Saturday, December 3rd. I'm estimating two weeks for my processing
and shipping, so I need to place my card order by Saturday, November
19th. Note an "order by" date and a "mail by" date in your calendar!
Now decide who you will send your cards to. Close
family and friends? Work colleagues? Old college friends? Make a list of who
you will be sending cards to this year. Now, place a star next to everyone who
you need an address for -- people who just moved, new friends, etc. It is now
your mission over the next three months to acquire these addresses. Go!
XOXO
Meg
