How to Print a Group Greeting Card (and What to Do With It After)

Now that we’ve entered the digital age, there is a virtual option for everything we do. From shopping to medicine, it has made our lives much more efficient and convenient. 

Group greeting cards are no exception. The digital option for group greeting cards is easy to use and requires much less planning. They are an absolute win for any occasion, especially in the corporate setting.

However, some worry that digital experiences will feel less personal. They want the convenience of an online greeting card while having something physical we can hold and interact with.

Printing your online group greeting card is the perfect solution. Your recipient’s experience doesn’t have to stop after it’s delivered and opened. Print out your group greeting card to create a memorable, tangible reminder of the occasion.

Let’s talk about how to print your group greeting card, and what you can do with it after. 

Printing a Group Greeting Card

Printing an online group greeting card is not difficult and only requires a couple of extra clicks. Adding that physical touch is a great way to express your appreciation to the special person you are celebrating. 

Create a Kudoboard

The first step to printing a group greeting card is to create a card through Kudoboard. Create an account and get started customizing your board. You can customize it for birthdays, farewells, work anniversaries, personal milestones, retirement, and more. 

Then, choose the template that matches their personality. With options ranging from donut birthday cards to abstract farewell layouts, there’s something for everyone. 

Invite Others to Post

Now that you have your Kudoboard created, it is time to invite the group to post to the board. This is when they can “sign” the group greeting card. Invite the group to post a message, pictures, videos, GIFs, and get notified when they contribute. You can even schedule reminders to be sent out to gather signatures more efficiently.

Surprise, Delight, and Print

It’s time to deliver your group greeting card. Most people send a copy digitally through email, Slack, or text. The recipient can open the card, enjoy the messages, and continue to revisit it using the board’s unique URL address. 

If you have collected everyone’s signatures and delivered the card, you’re ready to print. You can work with an outside print shop or have Kudoboard handle all the printing details for you. 

If you work with Kudoboard, we’ll do all the work to create a high-resolution keepsake through our partner. We can ship directly to your recipient or to your location so you can present the gift to them at the celebration or ocassion.

5 Ways to Use a Printed Group Greeting Card

1. Hang up a Poster

Imagine showing up to work on a special occasion and seeing a giant poster of a group greeting card hanging up just for you. When simply sending an online group greeting card does not seem like enough, make a poster to display in the hallway next to your core values, in a well-trafficked meeting room, or right next to their desk. It is a fun way to add decor while presenting your coworker with a fun gift. 

Kudoboard can do it for you and ship it, or you can take a downloaded file wherever you prefer to print. Depending on your preference, our posters can be 12″, 24″, or 48″ wide, and the height is variable depending on how much content the board contains. If you are looking to make a statement for an upcoming occasion, consider printing a poster of your group greeting card. 

2. Mail it

Many times, special occasions can be overwhelming. You spend time planning for them and then they are over in a blur. 

Help extend the celebration by mailing a copy of the group greeting card to their home. Although they received their digital copy the day of the celebration, they will have a fun surprise arrive in their mailbox a few days later. This gives them a keepsake to remember how fun the occasion was, and it will help them remember that they are valued and appreciated.  

3. Pass it Around

If you want to add an extra touch of personalization to the printed group greeting card, pass the completed, physical card around the office and have everyone add their signature to their post. 

While removing some of the convenience of a digital card, this is an amazing option for the more traditional person in your life. We all know someone who has difficulty transitioning to the digital world, so this is a great opportunity to create an ecard that’s convenient for large groups yet perfect for them on their special occasion. 

4. Create a Photobook

Another fun option for Kudoboard is to print a photo book of your group greeting card. When printed, books have a hardcover, a maximum length of 440 pages, and all the personalization of the posts on the board.

This is the perfect option for a group greeting card from a really large group. Give the recipient something to flip through and give them the chance to see everyone’s posts. You can wrap it up nicely and present it to them at an event or celebration as a keepsake from the company. 

A photobook is a great way to celebrate a farewell or work anniversary and show appreciation for the years that your employees or coworkers have spent at the company. 

5. Frame It for their desk

If you are looking for a gift to be able to wrap and give to the person celebrating an occasion, print out the group greeting card and put it in a beautiful frame. It can then be displayed as decor in their home or office. 

You can print it any size you want and it will make a great memory. You could even use a double-sided frame that puts the board on one side, and have everyone physically sign the back. This is perfect to send someone like an executive off with as a farewell gift.

High Impact Celebration

Celebrating our coworkers is an important part of creating a positive work environment. In this post-Covid era, those in the workforce are much more concerned with the culture of their workplace. 

Group greeting cards are a great way to maintain high employee morale by recognizing and celebrating people on occasions that mean something to them. We love online group greeting cards for this purpose, and the option of printing them out is icing on the cake. This adds another personal touch and provides them with something to take home and treasure.
