Favorite Holiday Tradition: Sending Holiday Cards

Where are my snail mail lovers at? 💌🐌

Every year, we send out holidays cards to friends, and family, as a way of welcoming in the new seasons festivities. This year, given our engagement, we doubled them as an engagement announcement for our loved ones , who do not have social media. This is a very sweet and cheap way of wishing people in your circle a very happy holiday season. I designed these in Canva using a template, and printed at Walgreens (who usually have 40-60% off cards this time of year). Each year our mailing list gets bigger as our friend group expands, we also send to online pen pals we’ve gained, and we even send internationally to our family overseas! I love sending and receiving mail so this is the perfect tradition for me (4 years strong!) is there anyone on here whose sending out cards? #christmastradition #holidaycards #snailmail #penpal #writing
