Want your holiday cards to arrive on time? Start with the date you want them delivered.
It's easy to focus on when your cards need to go in the mail, but there's a little more to the timeline than that.
Design, proofing, printing, addressing and mailing all take time. And the earlier you plan, the more flexibility you'll have to get everything just right.
Our tip? Pick your ideal delivery date and work backward from there. That way, you'll have a clearer picture of when to get started.
A little planning now means one less thing on your holiday to-do list later.
Not sure when to start? Explore our holiday card planning guide and get ahead of the rush:
