Discussing The Custom Of Giving Christmas Cards
The average person that sends Christmas cards will send approximately 50, which equates to billions being sent worldwide each year. The tradition is one that has gone from strength to strength and the earning potential for card makers in the few weeks before Christmas is huge. This article examines how the tradition of giving Christmas cards has evolved since its inception.
The first card
1843 saw the sending of the first commercial card; although some handmade cards may have been sent previously. The card was designed and printed by John Calcott Horsley at the bequest of his friend Sir Henry Cole. The card was sent by Cole to people that he knew in both his personal and business life to wish them a Merry Christmas. One area of the family scene depicted showed a young child drinking from a glass of wine; an inclusion that caused some controversy. 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 incorrectly assumed today that early Christmas cards all centred on religious designs. 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. The introduction of religious themes and winter scenery soon followed as the idea of Christmas cards spread into America thanks to printer Louis Prang.
Modern day options
The options to those looking to send christmas cards in the modern day have greatly increased and funny cards are especially popular. Another area that is enjoying real growth is that of personalised Christmas cards. 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.
