Frequently asked questions

When should I send Christmas cards in the UK?

Aim to post second-class cards by mid-December. Check Royal Mail's last posting dates each year.

Where do I start with Christmas shopping?

Make a list of everyone you're buying for, set a budget for each, then use the gift guides by person and budget below.

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.
