Re: holiday card poll
Hoping you guys didn't already cover this, I have haven't been around so I am kind of out of the loop.
Have you ordered yours yet? Yes, ordered on Black Friday
Do you use a photo on it or just send a regular card? We use a photo card
Where do you order them from? I used cardstore.com(I got the idea from here, thanks Mary!) I normally order from tinyprints, but the deal at cardstore.com was just too good. I got 40 of them with envelopes and free shopping for 17 dollars. I think I spent like 7 times that amount last year on our cards, oops.
What kind of photo do you use for them?(pro photo, photo you took, etc) We used a photo that my sister took of the 3 of us, then two of Parker that I took of him.
Who is in the photo? (dogs, you and your H, your family, your child) 1 family pic(the bigger photo on the card), then 2 smaller ones of just Parker.
How many people do you send them to? I ordered 40, probably should have ordered more.
When do you send them out? I am hoping to get them addressed this weekend and sent out on Monday. Every night we mean to but then get lazy.

Varies year to year - sometimes there's a pic
I have designed/ordered from VP in past years

How many people do you send them to? Well, I ordered 50, so that's my cut off... usually family and close friends, but I kept a running tally of who we received cards from last year, so that helped narrow down my list.
