Christmas card ideas with a new baby

By Stick'Nsnap · About · Updated October 21, 2026

One clear photo is enough for the card. This month's sticker on a plain onesie shows the age, so the front does not need a second line for it.

What photo works on a card?

Use window light from the side, and turn the flash off. A plain onesie and this month's sticker keep the face easy to see when the photo is printed small.

One photo or a few?

One big photo fills the front. A strip of three also works: the newborn photo, the photo from this month, and one with the family.

For a Santa photo in the strip, see baby's first photo with Santa.

If family is over for Thanksgiving, the family photo can come from that day. Baby's first Thanksgiving photo ideas has the setup.

How do I take it at home?

Take it in the daytime, on the floor, near a window, the same setup as baby's first holiday photo ideas. Monthly baby photos at home covers the light and the plain background. Monthly baby photos with a phone covers focus and a short burst.

For a young baby, the photo is on the back, on a flat spot at floor level, with you close enough to reach. Baby photo safety at home is the setup to follow.

What can I write on a first Christmas card?

• Our first Christmas as four.
• Two months old and already on the nice list.
• This month, and our first Christmas.
• One photo for this year's card.
• Home for the first Christmas.
• The sticker says the month.
• A quiet December at home.
• Love from our first Christmas.

Sending cards after Christmas? Baby's first New Year photo ideas has a daytime setup for January 1, with this month's sticker.
