Holiday card messages from your work family to theirs
See all photo card templates to customize.
Sending holiday cards to clients is a great way to let them know that you love working with them and are thankful for their business. While they’re not the same tone as the cards you’d send to your family and friends, they’ll still get a smile and a respected position on the mantelpiece. Add a photo of your crew to our templates, and you’re good to go.
Here are a few different ways you can word these cards:
Thank you for being our loyal customer. Happiest of holidays!
Happy holidays! It’s been a pleasure working with you this year.
Wishing you continued inspiration and success in the New Year. Happy holidays.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. From all of us at Imaginary Company.
Use quotes as holiday card messages
See all quote templates.
No matter whom you’re sending your holiday cards to, anchoring them with a famous quote is always a hit. There are zillions of quotes out there, so it shouldn’t be hard to find one that fits your mood. Here are a few of our favorites:
“Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.” – It’s a Wonderful Life
“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” – Elf
“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.” – Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
“Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!” – Hamilton Wright Mabie
"Snow was falling, so much like stars filling the dark trees that one could easily imagine its reason for being was nothing more than prettiness." — Mary Oliver
To really make your quotes pop, try pairing different fonts.
Include a special VIP coupon or code with your message
How about a two-fer? Including a coupon or invitation to a special event with your holiday card message is a nice perk for your customers, and it’s a great way to keep your brand in front of them for a while until they use it.

While many one-sided cards can perfectly convey your holiday card messages, if you want to give a little extra to your clients that they can enjoy throughout the year, use the back of your card to include a calendar made with our calendar templates.

Depending on your business, include your seasonal hours (lawn care or pool cleaning, for instance), a menu (if you own a restaurant), or your weekly operating schedules (say, if you’re a medical office that is open three days a week).
