Frequently asked questions

Can I copy these messages word for word?

Yes. Everything on this page is free to copy, print and read out - no permission or credit needed. Changing one detail so it fits the person is all we would suggest.

How long should a card message be?

One to three lines suits most cards. Write the message before the name so you can start again if it goes wrong, and if you run out of room, carry on inside the back cover rather than shrinking your handwriting.

Where can I buy a card to go with this?

We design and print our cards in the UK and post them the same working day when you order on a weekday. Browse Christmas cards to see the current range.
