I have been debating back and forth about what to do for Christmas
cards. I like to send out a little something every year, at
least to my close friends. Of course, I could always do that again, this
year. I think I even bought some Christmas cards on sale at Target last
year post-Christmas that I can use this year. But then, of course, B
and I just had our engagement pictures taken, so we will have a bunch of
new photos we could use. Then to make the decision even more difficult,
I keep seeing pictures like the ones below that make me want to take
more holiday inspired pictures to use for Christmas cards.
I am definitely leaning more towards
sending out a picture Christmas card. So I need to find a cute design
that I can either have printed cheaply or print myself. Here are some of
my favorite designs:
There is one thing that will make both Christmas cards and wedding invitations a little easier:
Postable.com. I found it while I was browsing some wedding blogs and I was sold immediately. Basically it creates a private address book for you to store all your friends' and family's contact information. Don't have it? No problem! Send them a personal link which directs them to a form they fill out with their info. Then your address book is automatically updated! I will be definitely be using it to collect addresses for the wedding, but am also using it for Christmas cards! What a time/sanity saver!
Are you sending out Holiday cards this year?
Also, in case you missed it, I have a giveaway going on right now for a Target/Neiman Marcus collection Tory Burch lunch box filled with some of my favorite things (including a $10 gift card to Starbucks). It ends tomorrow, so enter now!!

ReplyDeleteI loved pb&j sandwiches that she packed.
I love the photo xmas cards. They seem more personable and memorable. I like the couple ones with the lights alot. We sent out our xmas cards last week. They included a short poem and 5 photos of my daughter in color and one black and white of me, the hubs and my daughter. I will be interested in seeing what you choose, im sure whatever it is, it will be wonderful.

Stopping by from the Grow Your Blog hop. I've decided not to do cards this year, it's just been too chaotic lately. It makes me a super bad DIY/Craft blogger, I know.... but life is just too crazy right now. New follower, I'd love to have you stop by Planned in Pencil!
ReplyDeleteThese Christmas cards are so cute! My husband and I need to get on the ball and get some ordered!!
