Holiday Cards

What are you doing? Do you already have the photos?

When are you planning on mailing them?

Links to ideas if you got them.

Oh boy. I am trying to get through Benjamin's first bday party first haha. But yes we will mail some out. We have a few family photo options but I will probably take a recent one before deciding.

I plan on trying to take some cute ones at home of A soon and use a comp program or website and make photo Christmas cards. Some will be mailed. I will be able to hand deliver most.

Yes, we will do them. I think I want to do DD and DS looking at the christmas tree this year, kind of a silhouette look. Hopefully it will turn out like I imagine. We put the tree up the week after thanksgiving, so hopefully as soon as that's done, I will get them sent out. We also do a burning of the greens sometime in January, and that's included in the card (to save postage cost), so I try to give people enough time to plan.

I've used mixbooks, tiny prints, and shutterfly in the past. I usually go with which one is the best price. I got a groupon a few years ago that was awesome, and I keep checking and hoping that one will come back.

We're going to do them. We will use a picture from DD's one year photo shoot that's schedule for November 16 (her birthday!). It might just be her in the picture, or the three of us. I'll either use Tiny Prints or Shutterfly.

We're going to send them out. I'm going to use one of the pictures from our family/12 month pictures (that have yet to be taken). I gotta get done planning the 1st birthday first (in two weeks) and then I'll worry about cards. Ha. I like Tiny Prints too. That's who I used for her birth announcement/holiday card (it was combined last year).

I was wondering about timing as well. LO's 1 years are on the 23rd. By the time, the photographer edits them and I get the card designed and ordered, I thought it might be to late. They make New Year's cards, so I am thinking about doing that instead. IDK.

New years cards would be cool.. Last year we took her new born photos on Dec 9 ish and I got the proofs that week and went to a local camera store to get the cards. It was a quick turnaround but I got em out.

We do New Year's cards. Will probably use a photo from her 1 year shoot, scheduled for the end of the month, and then order them through whoever is doing them cheapest (Tinyprints, Shutterfly, Cardstore)
