Picture this: It’s Wednesday morning, and your sister’s birthday card is still sitting on your counter—unsigned and unmailed. You promised yourself this year would be different. No more missed birthdays, forgotten thank-you cards, or belated celebrations. Yet here we are, not even February, and the guilt is already creeping in. Sound familiar?
You’re not alone. Many of us struggle with remembering to send greeting cards, even when our intentions are pure. Life gets busy, and things like stamps, dates, and mailing deadlines seem to slip through the cracks.
But guess what?
2025 is your comeback year!
Here are three simple, game-changing tips to help you become the greeting card rockstar you’ve always wanted to be.
Stock Up on Cards and Stamps
The fastest way to No-Card-Ville is to find yourself without the essentials. It's impossible to send a card if you don't have one! Take a sec and stock up on:
- A variety of cards for birthdays, congrats, thank-you, and more
- A book of Forever Stamps
- Pre-printed address labels or a good writing pen
Take your stash and create a cute card station at home. Use a decorative box to organize all your things in one place. Now you're prepared!
Get Organized with Dates and Reminders
Relying solely on your memory to keep track of important dates is a tricky one. Here's how to stay on top of your card-sending:
- Use a calendar. A digital or a physical calendar is where you need to mark these important dates and occasions.
- Set reminders. Add alerts to your phone for a week before each occasion to remind yourself and give you plenty of time to write and mail the card.
- Automate it. Services like Postable can do all this hard work for you. AND Announce Divinely cards are there too!
Make It Part of Your Routine
In order to make this a habit, you have to be consistent. Set aside time each week to focus on sending cards.
- Check your calendar for upcoming occasions for the week.
- Write out the cards. Address and stamp the envelopes.
- Drop them in the mail or schedule pickups.
Being consistent makes it easier to stay on top of it and prevent scrambling at the last minute.
BONUS: Don't sweat the small stuff!
We're all human. Sometimes, life gets in the way, and that's okay.. Remember that you are sending the cards to be thoughtful and to brighten someone's day. Give yourself grace always.
