Hacked holiday cards are the ultimate in “upcycling”. Or, you know, just really fucking funny.

There really is no end to how many ways you can re-purpose those extra cards. Weddings, new babies, even condolence cards! Some people may scoff at getting an obviously well-thought out and personal card for their special event, but maybe those people don’t deserve a card. Just sayin’.

It took a while for greeting card companies to get on the gay marriage bandwagon, so you’re better off making your own. Bonus points if it’s a winter wedding!

So this one is … tricky. But really, it’s a lovely image. And there’s a handwritten note, which is important when sending condolences!

People on Twitter were VERY appreciative of the hack. And some people even had their own creations to contribute! Pro-tip: you can hack any card, not just holiday cards. Put on your thinking caps people, and start counting all the money you’ll save!

Those name badges are also so impersonal and boring anyway. This is much better.

This person even went the extra mile and decorated the tree!

Yes you could! No one said the card had to be nice.

So, if you’ve got some extra cards lying around, save them! No sense in throwing money in the garbage. Where there’s a will, there is always a way.
