Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to getting it done quickly:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Pick Your Design Template and Card Format<\/strong>: Start by choosing a template that fits your style \u2014 whether it\u2019s classic, modern, or whimsical. Select the card format, paper type, and card trim. Simple layouts or single-photo designs work especially well for last-minute cards, keeping the process fast without sacrificing style.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Your Photos<\/strong>: Upload one or two of your favorite recent holiday photos. High-quality images help your card look professional and festive, even when you\u2019re short on time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customize Colors, Backgrounds, and Details<\/strong>: Quickly adjust colors, backgrounds, and other design details to match your holiday theme. Shutterfly\u2019s editor makes it easy to tweak your card without needing to start over.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write Your Greeting<\/strong>: Add a personal touch with a heartfelt holiday message. Keep it short and sweet if you\u2019re in a rush \u2014 even a single line like \u201cWishing you joy this holiday season\u201d can make your card feel warm and personal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optional: Customize the Back and Envelope<\/strong>: If you have a few extra minutes, you can add a message or design to the back of your card, and personalize your envelopes for an extra festive touch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preview and Complete Your Order<\/strong>: Give your card one final look in the preview to make sure everything is perfect, then complete your order. Choose your shipping method based on how quickly you need your cards delivered, and you\u2019re all set!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Even with limited time, following these steps ensures your last-minute Christmas cards look thoughtful, polished, and ready to delight friends and family.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"Choose the Right Shipping for Your Timeline\"><\/a>Choose the Right Shipping for Your Timeline<\/h2>\n<p>Shutterfly offers several shipping options for Christmas cards so you can pick the one that matches your holiday schedule:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Shipping Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Production + Delivery Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Last Safe Day to Order (2025)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Best For<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Economy<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>6\u201310 business days<\/td>\n<td>Tuesday, <strong>12\/16<\/strong>, by midnight PT<\/td>\n<td>Most cost-effective option, great if you have a little more time.
