Helpful Hints to order your Christmas Cards

Posted on September 30th, 2009 in Christmas | No Comments »

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!

Christmas on a Budget

Posted on September 24th, 2009 in Christmas | No Comments »

Do you find yourself planning your holiday season with fewer resources than last year?  Or perhaps you’re tired of the excess that goes along with the season?  Even though many families are making do with less this year, it doesn’t mean that your holiday season has to be any less special.  With a little advance planning and good organization, it is possible to enjoy a wonderful holiday season on a budget.

Organization is the key when it comes to keeping your spending to a minimum.  The first step is to create a budget.  How much money do you have to work with and how do you want to divide it up?  The five most common areas where our holiday dollars are spent are gifts, food, entertainment, decorations, and contributions.  For some families, one or two of these categories will be the most important and the others almost irrelevant.  You must decide which areas are most important to you, and then divide your money up accordingly.  Most important, be sure you get it down on paper.  A budget is something you should refer back to throughout the season, so set up a spreadsheet on your computer where the information can be easily accessed.

Gifts – For many households, gifts make up the largest part of the spending budget.  It’s critical to make a list of each person you want to buy for and then assign a dollar limit for that person.  Be sure to shop sales and use coupons whenever possible to get the most bang for your buck!

Food – Many memories are made around special meals at the holidays.  The key here is to plan your menu and shop early.  Many stores will feature certain food sales on a rotating basis, so if you’ve planned your menu several weeks in advance, you should be able to pick up most of your ingredients on sale.  Another idea is to make your large family meal a potluck where everyone brings a different dish.  Not only is it fun to sample everyone’s different recipes, but this really cuts down on the expense for the hostess.

Entertainment – Remember, you needn’t attend every event in your community or every holiday party you’re invited to.  Pick and choose a few to attend in order to cut down on expenses.  There are many other forms of family entertainment that don’t cost money, too.  Consider sledding, ice skating, building a snowman, or free concerts or programs at your church or mall.  Caroling is an enjoyable activity for the whole family, and it can be followed up with hot chocolate and cookies.  Another enjoyable activity is to pack the kids in the car and take a drive through a well decorated neighborhood to look at the lights.

Decorations – The best way to save money on holiday decorations is to buy them after the holidays are over.  That’s right, if you wait until December 26, you’ll find every holiday decoration imaginable on sale for half price or less.  If you can keep a list of the items you’d like to have, then go shopping the day after Christmas and stock up.  Pack everything away in designated storage containers and you’ll be ready to go next year!

Contributions – The holidays are an important time for us to help others who are less fortunate than we are.  However, remember that a monetary gift isn’t the only way to give back.  Volunteers are frequently needed to help at food banks or to fix meals at shelters.  You could also sign up to ring a bell at a local store for your Salvation Army or Goodwill.

Remember, even though you may not have as much money to spend this year, it doesn’t mean that your holiday can’t be enjoyable and memorable for you and your family.  Making a budget and sticking to it can be tough, but it’s also a good way of reminding ourselves and teaching our kids that the holidays aren’t about money.  This season is for friends, family, and time spent together enjoying one another’s company and being thankful for our blessings.
