Holiday Greeting Cards in Holiday Cards(1000+)

What's the advantage of buying individual greeting cards for Christmas instead of a box?

It all depends on how many you want to send. If you're only sending cards out to five or fewer people, you may want to stick to individual greeting cards. This way, you can make more personal choices. However, if you're sending cards to more than five people, a box of greeting cards is the best way to go, especially if you're on a budget.

What can I do to make my holiday greeting cards feel a little extra special and personalized?

Writing a personal note is always the best way to add something special to your greeting cards. If you have kids, you can have them draw a picture or sign their names. A small $5 or $10 gift certificate to a favorite store is always a nice surprise, or you can add something more unique, like a clipping of a favorite recipe, a poem, or a list of favorite quotes. Bookmarks, family photos, and even a lottery ticket can also be fun surprises.

How can I store my leftover holiday greeting cards so that the envelopes don't stick together?

If possible, leave the cards in their original packaging. If that's not possible, look for an air-tight organizer, box, or container that will allow you to store the cards in a dark humidity-free space. Ensure they stay at room temperature and don't exceed 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If your envelopes do stick, place them in your freezer for about 24 hours. This should stiffen the adhesive and make them easy to pry apart.
