Funny Retro Spoof Christmas Cards

10/25/2017

0 Comments

 
 As I was looking for some new Christmas cards to add to our Retro Holiday Greeting Cards page here at Retro Invites, I came across some super funny Christmas spoof cards.

Each of the following features a fun retro image along with a funny saying that some of you might find mildly offensive, a little rude, or possibly even downright disrespectful. If you do, I apologize in advance and beg you to keep in mind that I'm only the messenger. 

If you think the following off-color cards are hilarious.  Enjoy!

You can personalize these and add your own message to the inside.  They each come with a white envelope and a 100% satisfaction guarantee from the manufacturer.  The guarantee is for the printing quality, not the humor.  No one can guarantee that your friends won't find these cards off color for the holiday season.

That said: Here's a few of our favorite funny retro Christmas cards. 
Click the image of your favorites to learn more and to order yours from Zazzle today.

Vintage Christmas postcards
Vintage Christmas postcards
by Kikiway
Long ago, postcards were the popular way of staying in touch and sending holiday greetings.  I'm all for bringing back that tradition.  Text messages and emails just don't seem like enough and writing out cards sometimes feels like too much.  A quick hello on a postcard doesn't take much time or money and, I think, it really shows that you care.
I recently came across this gorgeous vintage Christmas postcards collection created by shopkeeper Kikiway at Zazzle. 

The unique designs come from real antique postcard artwork.  You'll find a wonderful selection of cute, traditional and funny cards that are sure to delight your chosen recipients.

Are you looking or a theme for your next holiday party? 

Why not go glam and make it a 1920's style event?

The 1920's represent a time when men and women went a little bit wild. 

Although it might seem a bit tame compared to today's standards, Flappers and Gents ruled the day back then and drinking champagne and dancing on the tables was a common event at the speakeasy.

This fun 1920's Holiday Party Invitation invites your guests to do just that!
The front has a black background with white Art Deco lettering.  The flip side has a black border surrounding all of your personalized party information.
