Signing Christmas Cards
Christmas cards should be signed by hand in either blue or black ink. Even if the rest of your card is printed, you should personally sign the card. If you’re looking for ideas on closing remarks, find examples here:
- Best wishes
- With love
- With all our love
- Happy Holidays
- Merry Christmas
- Much Love
- Hugs and kisses
- XOXO
- All the best
- Warmly
- Take care
- Yours truly
- Sincerely
- Cheers
- Lots of love
- God bless
- Your friend
Do your best to choose a sign off that is appropriate for the recipient. For example, if it’s for a professional relationship, “Take care” or “Happy Holidays” will do. For friends and family, “Much Love” and “Yours Truly” are fine.
