Original wording you can personalise

Christmas Card Messages

Christmas card messages should match your relationship and the moment. Choose a heartfelt line for someone close, or a short line when fewer words carry more weight. Use any wording below word for word, adjust it to sound like you, then build a christmas card in a few minutes.

Christmas card messages can be warm, religious, professional or playful depending on the recipient. An useful structure is a seasonal greeting, one sincere wish and a closing that fits your relationship. Business cards should thank the recipient without making assumptions about faith, while close family cards can be more personal.

How do I choose the right Christmas card wording?

Choose wording that fits both the relationship and the recipient’s traditions. Use a religious message when you know it will be welcomed. For customers, neighbours and wider groups, a peaceful seasonal message is usually safer. Personal cards become warmer when you mention distance, shared memories or gratitude for the year.

  1. Decide whether the message should be religious or general.
  2. Choose family, friendship or professional wording.
  3. Add thanks, a shared memory or a hope for the New Year.
  4. Sign with the names of everyone sending the card.

Questions About Christmas Card Messages

Should I handwrite the christmas message?

Printing the message and adding a handwritten line underneath is a good middle ground, and it is what most people do with a printed card. The card maker has a handwritten style among the font choices if you would rather the whole thing looked informal. If you are printing to fold, leave the inside panel lighter than you think you need: handwriting takes more room than typed text, and a cramped inside panel undoes the work the front cover does. The seasonal and cultural pages all follow the same structure, so once you have made one christmas card the rest take almost no time at all.

What other cards are similar to christmas?

Christmas sits in the seasonal and cultural collection alongside Easter, New Year, Eid al-Fitr. Occasions in the same collection often share a tone, so if the wording here is close but not quite right, a sibling page may have the line you want. If your occasion is not listed anywhere on the site, the card maker has a make your own option where you name the occasion and write every line from scratch, with all the same designs, sizes and export formats available. Nothing here is fixed: the christmas wording, the design, the size and the font of each line can all be changed before you export the finished card.

Can I send a christmas card digitally?

Yes. Choose one of the digital sizes and export a PNG or JPEG, which sends cleanly through messaging apps without awkward cropping. Cards without a personal photograph can also be shared as a link, which shows the recipient a preview of the card along with a way to make their own. Cards that include your own photograph are sent as the image itself, because the photograph stays on your device rather than being uploaded anywhere. Nothing here is fixed: the christmas wording, the design, the size and the font of each line can all be changed before you export the finished card.

Are these christmas messages yours to use?

Nothing is held back. You can use any of these christmas messages personally or commercially, and the finished card carries no branding of ours unless you add it. The messages are written specifically for this site, which matters more than it sounds: printed verses found elsewhere online are often under copyright, and putting one on a card you hand to somebody is exactly the situation where that becomes a problem. Everything here is safe to print. Because these christmas lines are written for this site rather than gathered from elsewhere, you can print any of them without worrying about who wrote them first.

How do I make a christmas card online?

Open the card maker and choose Christmas as the occasion. Write or pick your message, then set the size: a digital size if you are sending it, a print size if you are folding and giving it in person. Choose a design, set the font and size of each line if you want to, review the finished card, then download it. Exports include a print ready PDF and PNG or JPEG images. Everything runs in your browser, so there is no account and no upload.

What tone should a christmas card use?

Think about how you would speak to this person face to face, then write closer to that than to a greetings card cliche. For christmas, the tones available here are heartfelt, short, funny, formal, religious, professional, inspirational, romantic, which covers most relationships you are likely to be writing for. The safest default when you genuinely do not know is plain and short: it reads as sincere rather than distant, and it never strikes the wrong note the way forced cheerfulness can. Everything on this christmas page works with the card maker in your browser, with no account, no watermarks on downloaded cards and no limit on how many cards you make.
