? for non-mommies
i'm so irritated with DH. a good friend at work offered to take pictures for us and i accepted. so we went to the park this weekend in hopes of getting a good Christmas card photo. DH was not happy about doing this. he thinks its unnecessary to do pictures with a photographer.
am i in the minority here? why is it that professional (or semi-pro from a friend in our case) pictures are stupid if its not wedding related or baby/kid related?
and i know that christmas photo cards aren't for everyone, but i do them even though we don't have kids. i don't think its weird.
Re: ? for non-mommies
I do them too & we don't have kids. I put pictures of the bunnies on our cards along with pictures of us, but I did photo cards for xmas before we had the bunnies too.
I haven't had them done professionally, but I've been thinking lately that I would like to have some prof. pictures made. We haven't had a good picture of us together since our wedding four years ago.
My DH would/will grumble too. I think sometimes he sees prof. pics as a waste of money, but I remind him that I see some things he does as a waste of money too, and I manage not to constantly harp on it.
It actually irritates me more when my friends send cards that ONLY have pictures of their children. I'm friends with YOU, not your kid. Yes, they are cute, and adorable and I like them, but just because you have a child doesn't mean you don't exist as a person either. Especially since I don't get to see my friends as much as I'd like.
I'd rather not get a non-photo card over a card of just a kid (and nothing of the rest of the family).
Speaking of Photo cards. DH and I did photo cards for our thank you cards from the wedding, and there was a little space on the bottom to write a little thank you, and I personally thanked every person I sent a card to. Now, DH's cousin and his new wife, which I've already mentioned on the board before (had the really bad wedding where there weren't enough chairs or food b/c she sent an open invitation to the church at the last minute) sent out photo thank you cards, and wrote NOTHING on them. I just thought that was in poor taste. We gave you guys $50, and you can't at least write "Hey, thanks for the money"?!?!?!?!? Cheese and rice people. If someone gives you some nice kitchenware, thank them for them for it! You don't just send out a regular thank you card with nothing inside (not even a signature).
Lazy b!tch.
*steps down from soap box*
HAHAHA!
This made me laugh! we would never do the picture card. I design so thats what we do. Everyone expects it at this point so that is our tradition when kiddies come along I guess maybe pictures will be incorporated because why not kids are cute!
