No-Photo Christmas Cards

We get it; sometimes the idea of taking a family photograph is just too daunting to actually go through with. That doesn’t mean that you have to be a humbug and not send out personalized Christmas cards this year! Zazzle’s got you covered with a huge range of no-photo Christmas cards.

What is a no-photo Christmas card?

A no-photo card is any Christmas card that does not have a photograph on the front. It might have a painting, drawing, a phrase, some typography or a logo instead. These are particularly useful when you would rather keep the design simple and universal. Luckily, we have a huge range of possibilities for you to choose from. Or you could even design your own with our design tool and thousands of clipart images. If you are a creative type, why not upload one of your artworks and send your friends and family a Christmas card they can truly cherish. These are great designs for business holiday cards as well!

What can I put on a Christmas card that isn’t a photograph?

The sky is the limit, here! Christmas ornaments make great Christmas card images, as they are festive, detailed and beautiful. You’re sure to find a vintage Christmas card on Zazzle that resembles an ornament that you have had for years, and that is totally and utterly "you". If you would prefer to go a little more universal, you could use a word, such as "joy", "merry", "love" or "family", written with a beautiful typography design. This way, your greeting card will be a gift you can give to friends and family that may celebrate different holidays at this time of year.

You could also choose your favorite TV or movie character and use them as a focal point of your card. Zazzle has a wide-range of officially licensed designs by brands such as Disney, Marvel, and many more! Check out those stores to find the perfect way of saying Happy Holidays to your nearest and dearest! When in doubt, we often find that funny Christmas cards are the best way to go. After all, terrible dad jokes and turkey puns are what brings us all together on those cold nights around the fire.

What kind of card types can I choose from?

There are many different formats for you to choose from. If you are a traditionalist, then maybe the classic folding card is the perfect format for this year’s card! These are especially useful if you wish to enclose something within the card. If you are feeling rather more adventurous, then why not look at our flat cards, or even magnet cards, so that the recipients can keep your card on display for the entire festive season.

If you would like to save money on envelopes, then why not choose a postcard style? This way, when your friends and family receive their mail and see your beautiful design, they can instantly get that happy feeling that Christmas is coming! No-photo designs are perfect for postcard formats, as there is no identifying information such as a family photo on the card.
