Halloween pic for holiday card??

Meritage · October 2011

I think I remember seeing this question last year, and the overwhelming response was don't do it! But I thought I'd ask again anyway. My family is dressing up like superheroes for Halloween, and it's a crazy thought, but I'm thinking of using our Halloween family shot for our holiday cards this year. But maybe it's too crazy and weird? Thought I'd get some input. We did just get some pro pics done, but I really don't love any of them that much so that's why I'm brainstorming other ridiculous ideas. :-)

How about a collage of several pics from throughout the year?

ETA: Or doing a "Happy Winter/something that fits" card instead and sending them out soon using your Halloween pics. Then skip Christmas cards.

I think it sounds like a fun different idea. Most of us are used to the same old family photo card, which I love, but I think its fun to do something different as well.

I would like it, personally. I think seeing something unique is great and I LOVE family costumes.

I think it's good only if you make the card kinda crazy with a crazy font like, "Have a SUPER Christmas" or something like that. I love zany and unique cards like that.

GO FOR IT. I've sent out Halloween pictures on our card before. And once we did a photobooth picture from a wedding I was in (we were WASTED and totally cracking up and I got more compliments on that card...) I think it doesn't matter what time of year the image is from - what matters is that it's a representation of your family.

And then some happy holidays greetings and you're good to go. I may even have a superhero font lying around in my font book if you're in need of one. That greeting up there is clever :-)

I say go for it! I have a feeling we'll only be using a picture of the boys for Xmas cards this year and even then I have no idea if it'll come from the 1st half or 2nd half of this year.

I think anyone receiving the card is going to love it no matter if it's a V-day pic, 4th of July or Halloween
