Looking At Ways In Which Christmas Cards Have Developed Throughout Time
The number of Christmas cards that are sent each year across the globe numbers in the billions, with the average person sending out around 50 each. The tradition has become ever more popular and the few weeks before Christmas represent a great opportunity for card makers to increase their profits. This article examines how the tradition of giving Christmas cards has evolved since its inception.
Early cards
Although it is possible that some homemade cards were sent prior to 1843, this year saw the sending of the first commercial card. The card was commissioned by Sir Henry Cole who asked his friend John Calcott Horsley to design and print one for him. The design was sent by Cole to numerous friends and professional acquaintances to wish them a ‘Merry Christmas’. The card caused a certain amount of uproar in that is depicted a family enjoying Christmas together, with a small child taking a drink from a glass of wine. There were perhaps ulterior motives for Cole’s introduction of Christmas Cards, who had three year earlier helped to introduce the Penny Post.
A change in designs
It is a common misconception today that early Christmas cards focussed on religious themes. The reality is that many designs were aimed at reminding the recipient that spring was just around the corner; making flowers and animals a common theme. Religious themes and more wintery scenes did soon become popular in addition to Christmas cards becoming popular in America thanks to the printer Louis Prang.
Modern day alternatives
The options to those looking to send christmas cards in the modern day have greatly increased and funny cards are especially popular. The option of personalised Christmas cards is another that is greatly increasing in terms of sales. With this option you can stylise your own card online and then place your order. You can have some real fun personalising your cards and the outcome is one that can be kept by your loved ones for years to come.
