Before you close your wedding book on all those wonderful memories, there is just one last gesture to your family and guests that brings them back, one more time, to your day of days; that gives them a lasting memory to treasure on their own. What may that be?!?

The Wedding Christmas Card, with, of course, a photo to capture that most meaningful event in your life.

As quickly as you said,”Yes!” to his proposal, made plans and were on your way down the aisle , you should, likewise, say,”Yessiree!” and be on your way to the stationery store with your best photo in hand, to select a Christmas card that captures the memories of your wedding.

A short list of what you will need: what photo? what kind of card? what to say? Who sends them out? and when to send it out:

When to send it?

It is best to get it in the mail after Thanksgiving and before Christmas. The first week in December is the busiest for the post office. P.S. custom-designed stamps, don’t forget.
