What people are saying

  • “My boyfriend and I are long distance and this hits completely different than texting pictures. We already FaceTime constantly so having an actual picture of him on my desk feels less digital.”
    Claire O.
  • “My parents love my postcards and I never would have done it without Familyletter, I don’t think I have ever even bought a stamp before. Love it and will keep using them!”
    Tricia M.
  • “I’ve been sending postcards back and forth with some long distance friends and I genuinely forgot how fun it is to get something in the mail that isn’t a bill lol”
    Steven G.
  • “I visited my grandparents last week and it was awesome to see their fridge covered with my postcards! They seem to really appreciate them”
    Eric S.
  • “I sent one to my best friend after she moved across the country and now we’re obsessed. We talk all the time but getting real pics is totally different.”
    Georgia K.
  • “This is such a good “thinking of you” gift, it feels way more intentional than sending a text”
    Alex U.
  • “I sent the first one as a joke and now everyone asks when the next one is coming”
    Patrick E.
  • “I send a few postcards a month to my buddies from college, it’s kind of like a monthly time capsule”
    Elijah P.

See how it works in 20 seconds

Pick photos, write a note, we print it, then stamp and mail it. Postage included.

A card with no envelope to fill

It's a 4x6 photo postcard, not a folded card. Photos fill the front. Your message and their address share the back.

So there's no envelope to stuff and no stamp to buy.

What you make yours

Custom Christmas cards are often sold by the pack. Here one card is a whole order, and you choose:

  • Photos: one to four from your phone, edge to edge
  • Words: type your own note, in a handwriting-style or plain font
  • Design: a back pattern like snowflakes or plaid, plus stickers
  • Address: any US mailbox, a different one for each card

A different note for each person

Put up to ten cards in one order. Tap "Write one for each person" and every card gets its own message and address.

Grandma hears about the recital. Your college roommate gets the inside joke.

How to make personalized Christmas cards

A photo Christmas card takes about a minute to make, and nothing prints until you pay.

  1. Add your photos, then pick a back and a few stickers.
  2. Write your message and check the exact front and back.
  3. Pay, type each address, and we print and mail it.

Lines that make it personal

Name the person, then add one thing only they would get. A few to borrow:

  • Merry Christmas, Grandpa. The tree leans left again, just how you like it.
  • Mom, I tried your stuffing recipe. Yours still wins. Merry Christmas.
  • Owen asks about your sugar cookies every day, Aunt Jo. Hint, hint.
  • One new puppy, zero quiet mornings. Merry Christmas from all four of us.
  • I still owe you a Scrabble rematch. Merry Christmas, old friend.
  • First Christmas in the new place. Save us a spot by the fireplace.

Personalized Christmas card questions

How do I make personalized Christmas cards with photos?

Add up to four photos in the builder above, pick a back design and stickers, and type your message. Check the front and back, pay, and add the address. We print and mail it.

Can I order just one card?

Yes. One card is a full order, $9.99 with free shipping on every order. An order holds up to ten cards, each to its own US address.

How many photos fit on a Christmas card with photos?

One to four. One photo fills the card, two sit side by side, three put one tall beside two stacked, and four make a grid.

Can each card in an order say something different?

Yes. Choose "Write one for each person" and type a separate message for every card. Each card also gets its own address.

Is it a folded card in an envelope?

No. It's a real 4x6 photo postcard, glossy and full color, with no fold and no envelope. We add the postage and mail it.

What if I don't like how it turned out?

Tell us within 30 days of delivery and we'll reprint it or refund it, your choice. There's nothing to send back.
