Questions people ask

What do you write in a Christmas card for a couple?

Write to both of them, and mention something you've seen them do as a pair. A dinner they hosted, a trip, the way they cope with a crowd. Thank them for something specific, then wish them a good Christmas together. Keep it warm and keep it short.

Should I send a Christmas card to a couple together or one each?

One card is usually right, unless you're closer to one of them. Address it to both and write as if you're speaking to the pair. If you want to say something private to one, send that one separately and keep it short.

Can I send a funny Christmas card to friends who are a couple?

Yes, if the joke is kind to both and doesn't pick a side. Poke at the shared things: the satnav arguments, the dinner party timings, who sleeps in on Boxing Day. Avoid anything that sounds like a dig at their relationship.
