Helpful Hints To Order Your Christmas Cards

By: Michiel Van Kets Home | Home-and-Family | Holidays


Christmas and the Festive Season are fast approaching. The sooner you get organized with those Christmas greeting cards the better. Listed below are some simple instructions for you on how to order your personalised Christmas cards or business Christmas cards through an online service?

With most online Christmas card businesses you can place your order either by email or phone as well as using an online ordering form.

Online: You select the design and type in the personalised details you want on your card and then add the completed information into the shopping cart. You can then pay online, using secured credit card systems to make your payment.

Telephone: You can contact the online Christmas card Company directly on the number they supply and they will take all the relevant information from you by phone. You can then either pay again by credit card or you can forward payment by cheque or post and you can arrange your payment option over the phone. When the company has received the payment they will then start working on your Christmas cards.

Email:You can forward an email directly to the Christmas card Company including all the details that they would normally require in their online ordering system and they will normally invoice you for payment and once funds are received they will start the proofing work required to get your Christmas cards underway.

Sometimes it is possible with online, email or by phone that you make an error in the information you request for your card. This is usually not a big problem as the company will have proofing processes in place to ensure that you can correct any errors that are made and they will be in touch with you prior to any printing actually taking place. You will be requested to confirm the final product before they get started with printing. Therefore you will see proofs of the expected final product well before they start so you will have ample opportunity to be able to make any changes.

So what is a proof or the proofing process?

A proof is documentation that will show you what will appear on your Christmas cards. The proof will show you the colour and style of the text that you have selected and will allow that you can re-read all the text and therefore correct any errors that may have occurred during the preparation process, if any. The proofing process will give you ample opportunity to make any changes and these changes should be free of charge. Make sure that the online Christmas card business you choose offers proofing alterations free of charge from the beginning, the good ones will.

What if you change your mind completely?

Well in most cases if you decide not to go ahead with your order you will find that the reputable online Christmas card companies will offer you a refund. Read the terms and conditions of any bookings for cards carefully to ensure you are dealing with a reputable firm. You will often find that the reputable firms will have a clear and concise FAQ or frequently asked questions section included on their website.

What if your language is not English but the website is in English?

Generally this is no problem, the online Christmas card Company can print in the text you require you just need to give them the text you wish to print in the language you want it. In many cases you will find they can print for you in dual languages the same card so you have a lot of choices for your personalised Christmas cards.

What kinds of cards can you make?

There are a variety of card options and you can personalize cards to your own choice or use samples already available from the online Christmas card companies. Here are some of the options on offer:

Humorous Christmas Cards
Traditional Christmas Cards
Modern Christmas Cards
Contemporary Christmas Cards
Business Christmas Cards
Fun Christmas Cards
Classic Christmas Cards
Charity Christmas Cards
Bespoke Christmas Cards

What about the envelopes for your Christmas cards?

All of the cards you order should come with matching envelopes and this should be included in the costs. Make sure that you check this as the reputable Christmas card companies will include the envelopes and if you can not find information about the envelopes being included then check with the company to make sure they are providing you these as well.

Now you have some basic information to get you started with your Christmas greeting card ordering. What are you waiting for? Christmas is coming be prepared!
