Holiday card sites are numerous. There’s so many places to choose from, but how do you know that what you’re spending time choosing, personalizing, ordering and waiting for will be the perfect ones for your family or business? You really don’t.
I was offered the opportunity to order some holiday cards from The Gallery Collection, so that I could properly write about their service, selection and – probably most importantly – quality of their cards. I said sure. I mean, why not? If they weren’t the best, I could stick them in a box. Right?
I clicked on over to TheGalleryCollection.com and started my search. I’m rather particular when selecting holiday cards, because I want them to be a sort of one-size-fits-all. I try to stay in the middle of the road, selecting something that celebrates the SEASON without being too hokey or sentimental. I send cards to family, friends and a few business associates, and so I want something that will fit for all of those things.
The selection process, while very easy, took me FOREVER – because they have so many beautiful cards! I mean seriously – there’s nearly 300 different cards available for personalization at The Gallery Collection – and that was just for Christmas! It took me quite a while to find something that I loved, and that would really express my wishes for the recipients.
Next up was choosing what message I wanted inside the card – there’s dozens of pre-formatted greetings, or for an additional fee, you can have your cards customized even further with your own greeting. Then you choose how to sign the cards – names, etc.
Finally, you can also have your return address put on the envelopes, so after I had entered that, I processed my order. It was so easy and fast. (Well, except for my own hesitation on the design. LOL)
The company emailed to let me know that my cards were being processed. Within a WEEK, they were in my hands. When I tell you that these cards so far SURPASSED my expectations, I’m still understating things. The high quality card stock in a beautiful, deep color blue, the foiled front, the foil lined envelopes, just everything about these cards scream QUALITY! I fell in love with them immediately, so pleased with my selection and with their high quality graphics, workmanship and overall – above all, quality.
I can’t wait to start addressing them! I can’t wait to send them out and have the recipients see them, feel them, know that I thought alot about them to send these beautiful cards out.
