Christmas Eve is a Thursday this year, and the mailer artwork is due weeks before you think. Here's where to print each piece, and how far ahead to order it.
Updated
For a mailer to your neighborhood, Radiant Printing prints and mails it with free shipping and free use of its mailing permit. Church Ink is the church-specific shop with instant online pricing for invite cards and connection cards. PrintPlace suits weekly bulletins, NextDayFlyers saves a last-minute event, and ChurchBanners.com makes the banner by the road. Order Christmas pieces by early November.
Christmas Eve falls on Thursday, December 24, 2026. Work backward from the date each piece needs to be in hands:
A Remix Church Media Christmas template, which we make, covers the slides, posts and stories, and its license includes print for your own church. Or hand the whole set to Church Media Squad, which designs print, stage and social sizes from one request. Send Christmas requests three weeks ahead.
For the full eight-week plan, see the Christmas toolkit for church media teams.
