I've always sent Christmas cards, and it seems like the amount you receive doubles when you get married!  I try to start early, and write out a few each night.  DH doesn't help, so it's all up to me!

I send them out and I usually just sign our names (well I make him sign his)  However, to immediate family I always write a little message.  The thing I hate the most is addressing them!  I don't have labels for us either so it's even more!

I have also sent xmas cards my whole life.  Last year was the first as married and our combined list was ridiculous - we got photo cards from Shutterfly with a pic from our wedding and they had a message printed on them so we didn't have to write out anything. 

I have a little book where I document who we sent to and if we got one in return every year.  If I don't get one back 2 yrs in a row they are off the list!

This year I had to write them all out b/c there were no pictures suitable (due to my hugely pregnant form).  For DH's cards, I address them for him but he has to write whatever he wants on the inside.  Tell your DH to suck it up - they're his friends and family!

lol yes addressing sucks

we have return labels but i think it will be tacky of me to print labels to those getting them.. so will have to address them...

i think i'll do it

but i'll make the final decision this weekend!

We do to close family and friends. I'm really trying to convince DH this year that we should take a picture in front of a cactus (since we are in AZ) in summer clothes and maybe a Santa hat, and use that for a photo card.  If not, I'll just buy some at the store and write them myself and sign for both of us.  I usually include a short message but nothing elaborate.

My family usually sends out a Christmas letter with all the years updates in it, then we would just all sign. Now that it's just DH and I we just find cards and I have him sign his name and that's it, then I address all of them. This year I am getting REALLY lazy! I have about 50 thank you cards to write from our shower still (I hand write each one, and include about 3 sentences). So, I am getting photocards, we might sign them, and I am printing labels. I want it to be easy.

I send them. This year I made some and bought some. I tuckered out from making them. I know I'm a wimp as well!  When I had a H I always signed his name.

I've been sending out cards since the year before we got married.  I actually have a Christmas address list..lol  This year I'm not doing cards, we are just going to send out picture cards like a birth annoucement after the baby is born.

Yes, I just sign our names and address them. Luckily, we do have labels for the return address.

I do! Last year I did "holiday" cards, cause I knew I'd be getting some of them out late. Part of me knows it silly to hand-make them all, but I kind of feel people expect it, since that's what I do for a living. LOL! I hoping to get a jump on them this year.

We always send them.  We also just got finished with our wedding Thank Yous and my DH also detests writting.  SO, we are taking a wedding pic and making Christmas cards on snapfish.com  You can have a message written on the cards so all you have to do is put them in envelopes and mail them!  YAY!!!
