California and Texas Christmas Cards

The number one rule of card selection – whether those cards are for Christmas, party invitations, birth announcements, etc. – is to choose something that reflects your personality. You don’t just go online and order the first Christmas cards you find; at least you don’t if the practice of sending the cards is meaningful to you.

If you’re having trouble finding just the right Christmas cards for your personality, then you might want to explore some Western-themed options. They are unusual and fun.

Western-Themed Cards

What constitutes a Western-themed Christmas card? Well, you might start with California Christmas cards. After all, you don’t get much more Western in terms of geography than California (except Hawaii and Alaska, of course). These California cards which show the state outlined in Christmas lights would be a great card choice whether you call the state home, are spending the winter vacationing there, or have many card recipients located in the state. The same is true for Texas Christmas cards. This card shows beautiful images of the state at night enclosed in an outline of Texas. Even though Texas isn’t very far west, the state definitely conjures up ideas of cowboys.

You don’t have to limit yourself to state-themed Christmas cards, however. You should be able to find cards containing images of other Western symbols, including cowboy hats, cowboy boots, and even bulls on the open range. Any of these choices would be excellent, but you have to decide which best fits your personality and which will make the best impression on the people receiving them.

More Ideas for Western-Themed Cards

If you’re looking for other ways to add a Western-feel to your Christmas cards, then here are a few ideas. For one, you could include postcards of landmarks in Texas or California. You could choose different postcards for each of your recipients based on what they would be interested in: a sports stadium for a sports lover, for example, or the ocean for the nature lover.

Adding decorative stickers to envelopes and greeting cards is another interesting way to wrap your cards in a Western-theme. You could choose state-related stickers or stickers of bulls, cowboy hats, cowboy boots, cacti, lassoes, and more. The best place to find such stickers is either online or at a scrapbooking supply store. You’d be surprised at how many unique embellishments for all types of stationery you can find in these locations.
