Funny Christmas cards for your brother-in-law
A funny card to a brother-in-law is a small act of friendship. Tease him about the carving, the footy team or the parking, and let him read it with a grin. The best ones leave him thinking he should send one back.

- funny [first name], I am looking forward to the annual argument about who carves. I will lose again, gracefully. Merry Christmas.

Questions people ask
What do you write in a Christmas card for a brother-in-law?
Keep it casual and a bit playful. A joke about something you share, a line of thanks, and a wish for a good break is plenty. Brothers-in-law usually respond best to humour with one sincere sentence tucked at the end.
Is it weird to send a Christmas card to my brother-in-law?
Not at all. It is a nice surprise, because few people bother. A short, friendly card tells him you think of him as family and not just your partner's sibling. It does not need to be formal or long.
Can I tease my brother-in-law in a Christmas card?
Yes, if the teasing already happens in person. Pick something harmless, like his cooking or his sports team, and add warmth in the last line. Avoid anything that touches on his family, work worries or looks.
