Holiday Photo Cards

Just got married in September and was wondering what you all think of sending a photo holiday card with our wedding picture on it?  I've noticed a lot of newlyweds are doing this lately and we have a friend who sent one of she, her husband, and dogs....

 What do you think of holiday photo cards (particularly with wedding picture on it)....cheesey or not?

Re: Holiday Photo Cards

  • I love photo cards.  Some people think they are only for people w/ kids, but I don't agree at all!

  • I just got married 4 months ago and the largest opening on our photo card has a pic of Me Dh and our 3 kids from the wedding, then in the 2 smaller openings we have a pic of the kids at their first hockey game and one of me and DH from our Engagement session. Shutterfly is having a good sale on their cards right now!!

    I love them! And shutterfly was running a sale. So I got 60 for about $8 instead of the usual $130. Right now they're doing a 30% off sale on holiday cards. They're shipping is really fast and I LOVE the cards.

  • I used one wedding photo, one photo from our trip to London, and one photo from our trip to Ireland on our holiday card. I used the 50 free cards promotion from Shutterfly where you blog about them and get the promo code, ad I just paid $8 for shipping: http://blog.shutterfly.com/5358/holiday2010-blog-submission-form/ 

     

    We got married eight months ago and we don't have any children. We have a cat but I didn't include his photo on the card ... but I may use his face on a sticker (maybe with a Santa hat photoshopped on him, lol) and use that on the back of the envelopes.

  • What? That's totally fine. We sent out a New Year's Eve card after our wedding- with a wedding photo on it. It was cute. Go for it.

  • i think it's a great idea. I love photo cards (and actually get mad when i open an envelope and it is NOT a photo! lol)

    go for it!

     

  • DH & I love getting photo cards! I say send your wedding photo. People will most likely enjoy seeing it

    This is DH & I, too. 

    P.S. I hope you're using your siggy pic as your Christmas photo card this year. Stick out tongue I love it!

  • I'm doing the same thing. I originally wanted someone to take a nice picture of myself, my H and SD together but could never get anything coordinated with our schedules (we have SD 2 nights a week and every other Saturday night), including times where we didn't have any family gatherings going on. We had the opportunity on Black Friday when my cousins all came back to the house, but unfortunately our tree was not yet decorated and that was my preferred background.

    So instead I picked out a card on Snapfish where we could use 3 designs. For the large design I used the picture of the 3 of us on our wedding day, then for the other two a picture of H and I at my class reunion and one of SD at her birthday party.

  • We did this last year with one of our wedding pics (also married in Sept). We got a lot of compliments on it. I agree with people who say they prefer cards with photos and that it's not just for families with kids. This year, we did a collage of 6 pics from various trips and a pic of our cats.
