Re: Holiday card poll

  • rrr has done all his, I haven't done any of mine, but I think we usually average around 60. I have a big family, and he continues to send them to a lot of his parents old friends, especially as we moved this year and need to give out our new address.

  • I voted 76-100 - DH has a HUGE family and no way we could send one to one aunt and not the others (and the cousins, and the second cousins, etc., etc.).  I usually don't mind - I like doing something once a year, just to keep in touch with family.  However, I'm a little behind this year with DD being born in late November, so I am thinking of doing a New Year's card with a family pic accompanied with a separate baby announcement for DD.  We'll see if I get around to it!  ;-)
  • I have to do usually about 700 here at work. I do none of my own lol.

  • We're sending out 200 this year. It's a sickness - I need an intervention.

  • I voted "none" because I didn't do any this year or last year.  When I do send them out I send around 30ish.

  • I usually send around 30, we don't have big families.  And after signing all the work cards I'm really glad I sent photo cards that didn't require any writing...

  • i ordered 160, we'll see if that's going to be enough.  i have a huge family, and i actually really enjoy keeping up with all of them (and friends... and old family friends... and people we do business with that are familiar with the family).

      i also like to keep a few on hand in case we get a card from a friend/family member that i've forgotten, or hose address we didn't have.  then i can just address it real quick and send.

    confession: i am a little disappointed when i get a card that's just a greeting card, and doesn't have pictures...lol.   i like to see what people and their kids look like.

  • This year it's 125.  Seems our list grows every year!

    I agree. I also like getting them from people I don't talk to very often, I love to see how everyone changes over the years. It's like a yearly check in and it usually makes me call/email to follow up.

    Our list definitely grows every year, too. This year we purchased 150 cards based on how many we sent out last year (120 or so). Looking at the list, I am afraid we're going to have to send a few generics to some people who won't notice...

  • This year it's 50.  I really wanted an extra 25 but with the move, I just couldn't swing the extra $$.  

     

    I too, hate old fashioned no picture cards. C 

  • We don't send out cards because I only like to get picture cards.  And sending out a picture of DH & I feels a bit narcissistic to me.  I get picture cards from other couples & don't think they're being narcissistic at all,  it just feels weird to me.

    Once we have a kiddo to put on there, we'll be sending out over 100 each year, just to DH's family.  No idea how many there will be in total, don't even want to think about it.
