Unique family Christmas card ideas

Each year, you and your family have to figure out how you're going to pose for the Christmas card photo. You could opt for the classic matching shirts and formal pose, or you could do something a bit more out of the box. Consider these creative ideas for this year's Christmas photo cards:

Wrapped up in lights
This is an adorable idea whether you're newly engaged, married or have children. Wrap either you and your spouse or your kids in colorful Christmas lights for a fun and festive photo.

Photo booth montage
Grab a few Christmas props, like antlers, Santa's hat or a red Rudolph reindeer nose and have some fun with your family taking silly holiday photos. Group four or five of the images together on your Christmas card to resemble a strip of photo booth pictures.

Silhouettes
You don't need to show your face in order to create a beautiful holiday card. Have someone take a picture of you and your spouse or your kids standing in front of a lit Christmas tree. The glow of the lights and your silhouettes makes for a magical Christmas card. You could be just standing there admiring the tree or hanging more ornaments.
