Vertical, Single Full Image
These types of cards present your family in a simple but attractive format. With space for a single image that takes up the entire front, your favorite holiday photo really stands out.
Choose between standard, rounded, scalloped, or ticket cut-out edges. Then, select gold, silver, or glitter embossed foil, or opt for no foil at all!
Personalize the front of the card with holiday well-wishes, then write a short update on the back.
Horizontal, Single Full Image
If most of your good family photos are in the horizontal position, you will want a horizontal layout. Otherwise, your image might look too stretched out in the final product.
So, those who have wider images but still like the single photo format should take a look at family Christmas cards like these. To personalize them, add your own text and write some information about your family on the back.
In addition, choose your edges and foil, and you’ll get the best Christmas card you’ve ever had!
Vertical, Multiple Images
Let’s face it: your annual Christmas family photoshoot has multiple pictures that deserve to be on the front of the card! If you find yourself having a hard time choosing between a 1 or 2 (or 6) of your images, find a card that can have them all.
Horizontal, Multiple Images
If you prefer the look of a horizontal card, there are options for you, even if you have multiple pictures! So, all you need to do is choose your favorites. Then, write a cheery holiday message and give people an update on the back.
Vertical with a Border
Some people tend to like their photos to have a framed look. If that sounds like you, consider getting some family Christmas cards that have a border! These types of cards give you the ability to upload a single photo of your family surrounded by a border that really draws out the colors in your picture.
Across the top, you can write your own holiday message in your preferred color of foil.
Horizontal with a Border
Like the vertical option, these types of cards display photos with a border around them. However, with this type of card, you can get the attractive border in a horizontal layout!
The front of the card also can feature a cheery Christmas message, and you can write your own comments on the back.
Wall Calendar
Wall calendars aren’t your traditional family Christmas cards, but we think they actually make your Christmas greetings stand out! On Vistaprint’s website, you can create a customized wall calendar by choosing 12 of your best Christmas photos and uploading them to the site. Then, customize it with important dates and have it delivered to your loved one’s door!
