Receiving holiday cards are one of my favorite moments of the holiday season. Every year, I love seeing the cards people select, the sweet photos of their families and how they’re growing, and heck, just getting a piece of real snail mail. There’s something just so special. I still need to design ours (this procrastinator is all about the New Year’s messaging) however in my quest to find a better way to display the ones arriving in our mailbox, I’m sharing my favorites. How pretty and sentimental feeling are these creative ideas?


Display them on shutters (you can DIY them!).
Tie with garland around your staircase.
Make a bulletin board display.
Hang them from ribbon on a door.
Add twigs to a pitcher or jar; punch a hole in the cards and string ribbon through to hang.
Hang on a string of lights.
Create a tree out using washi tape and garland on a wall.
Deck out a chalkboard wall with wire (it’s from IKEA; we use it to display art in our playroom).
And, though not yet quite holiday cards but our photo Menorah, if you celebrate Hanukkah, could be a fun way to create a mash up of your family and your holiday cards all in one.
