How to Send Last-Minute Christmas Cards

Let loved ones know you didn't forget!

Are you always late in getting your Christmas cards out? Thankfully, you can quickly send cards to everyone on your list using the Internet. Many websites allow you to choose a card and send it for free. Best of all, you have a wide variety of choices when it comes to card design, and can personalize each and every card you choose to send.

Instructions

1. Collate a recipient list. You can either write down the addresses of the people you are sending cards to, or keep a separate window open on your computer displaying your email address book. This will allow you to simply copy and paste when it is time to enter the address.

2. Choose a site to send your cards from. Three possibilities are presented in Resources. Look them over and see which one best suits your needs.

3. Scroll through the Christmas e-cards and find one that appeals to you. You might consider sending each recipient a different card to make your greetings more personalized; but keep in mind that this will take more time. Otherwise, you can choose one card and send it to everyone on your list.

4. Add a photo, if possible. Some sites will let you add your own pictures to your e-cards to make them unique missives.

Tips & Warnings

• Some people will automatically avoid any emails that claim to contain an e-card from a friend, fearing a scam or a virus. To make sure your card gets to the intended recipient, put something in the subject line that will help her recognize it really is a genuine card from you.
