Christmas Card Messages 2023

The end of year festivities are often a time to eat, drink and be merry, but they are also the perfect opportunity to warm the hearts of your friends and family, to make up for the winter frost nipping at their noses. Personalised Christmas cards are an easy way to wish your loved ones a happy Christmas and all the best for the new year. Whilst it may be easy to pick out your favourite design, it is sometimes more difficult to find inspiration for what to write. Luckily for you, Rosemood is here to make writing your Christmas or New Year cards that bit easier with our suggested Christmas card wording ideas. If you are still lacking some inspiration for your Christmas card messages then hit play on that infamous Christmas playlist to get yourself in the festive spirit!

What to write in your Christmas cards

Putting pen to paper isn’t always easy, especially when sending out Christmas cards to a wide variety of people. It may seem like a lot of work to adapt your Christmas card message to suit your different friends, family and colleagues, but often a simple change of the closing line can turn your greetings cards from heartfelt and sentimental to highly professional. We have some useful tips as to what to include in your Christmas cards to help you start crafting your own perfect Christmas greetings.

  • A simple Christmas greeting: Keep it short and sweet with a simple “Merry Christmas and a happy New Year”.
  • Show your loved ones how much you are thinking about them with a heartfelt message specific to the individual or share some of your favourite moments or news from the year gone by.
  • For business Christmas cards: Be sure to use formal titles when addressing your cards to colleagues, or sending your cards on behalf of your business. 
  • Adapt how you sign off your cards based on the recipient: Use a warm closing phrase for friends and family, but keep it professional for your business Christmas cards with closing messages such as “Kind regards” or a festive “Season’s greetings”.

Christmas cards and messages for every style

Just like the snowflakes that often accompany this joyous season, no two Christmas cards are alike. Whether you cherish tradition or prefer a contemporary twist to your greetings cards, you are sure to find the card that suits your personal style in our diverse Christmas card collection. When it comes to choosing the wording of your Christmas card, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. If the most important part of your season’s greetings is an update on your family, send your nearest and dearest one of our photo Christmas cards with a warm message. If you are sending your Christmas cards to colleagues or on behalf of your business, you might opt for a more traditional card that includes a kind but professional note. With an endless variety of shapes, sizes, designs and colours, our Christmas card collection is entirely customisable to you and the message you would like to send for this festive season.

Finding the Christmas card that fits you

Personalisation is at the heart of Rosemood, which is why we offer a wide range of designs, formats and paper options to help make your personalised Christmas cards unique to you. Our Christmas card collection features designs ranging from festive illustrations to minimalist motifs, and many have room for adding photos of your nearest and dearest. Our cards come in portrait, landscape and square layouts, and are available in folded, flat, bookmark and window formats. You can save time when writing your Christmas card messages, because your text will be proofread by our team of experts before being printed on the premium paper of your choice, including smooth matte and recycled paper. 

Creating the perfect wording for your Christmas cards

When it comes to writing your Christmas card messages, there is no one-size-fits-all formula to follow. We are most likely sending our Christmas cards to a variety of loved ones and colleagues, so it makes sense that we should personalise our message to match both the recipient of our greetings cards as well as our own personal style. Our friends might enjoy a Christmas pun, or you can keep it simple with a short Christmas greeting. If you are sending your cards to colleagues or on behalf of your company, we have several suggestions for finding the perfect business Christmas card wording. For a more traditional greetings card, perhaps the wording that suits your style can be found among our Christmas card verses.   

Finding the right words for your other stationery

At Rosemood, we know that there is far more to celebrate throughout the year well beyond Christmas. From weddings to the birth of new babies and everything in between, we have stationery to match the most important occasions in your life. If you will be saying “I do” in the near future, after finding the card that matches the theme of your ceremony, taking the time to come up with the right wedding invitation wording is part of the fun of finding the invite that suits you and your love. After you have tied the knot, take some time to reflect on the wording of your wedding thank you cards too! If you will be welcoming a new bundle of joy this year, wording your baby announcements might include adding things such as your new baby’s name, date of birth or birth weight, among many others! For any other events in your life worth celebrating, we have some suggestions for crafting the appropriate wording for party invitations for any occasion, as well as the wording for note cards you can send as a follow up.
