Have you ordered your holiday cards yet?

[thejen626]

Because I did today.  I'm pretty sure this is the earliest I've ever ordered them.  I like to address them over Thanksgiving weekend and then mail out December 1st.

And to make it MM, I "saved $35 by using promo codes".  But still spent over $100 on 45 cards.  OMG.  But they are gorgeous and make our photos look even better, so I think I'm ok with the cost.

I found one on Minted that I loved, but their site kept freezing on me last night. So I looked at TinyPrints and found an even better one! And it has matching address labels

Not yet waiting for photos to come back from last week photog session. Hoping to have them this weekend. I do have cards picked out at several sites though. I love Christmas cards!

[Pom]

Mine came last week, they are laying on my desk. We keep adding things to our November calendar and will be gone half of December so I intend to get them our the first of December.

[Deleted]

No, because I cannot find any that I want to send

[ECB]

I doubt I'm even doing cards this year.

[miss1180]

Yup! Ours just came the other day. Did them early because Shutterfly has 40%off. So it was like $36 for 50 pictures. We just took our own pics in the backyard so it was easy.
Love having one more thing out of the way!

[bostonmichelle]

I haven't even taken photos yet. Maybe next weekend I can get my dad to take some of us and the dog.

[mommylikestattoos]

Nope, we'll be last minute as usually even though I've made plans so far in advanced. Just bought the $25 JC Penny photo groupon, earliest sitting appointment available was Dec 7, then a week to get pics back. Then hopefully I'll get cards ordered and made in a timely manner lol.

[jenn248]

I've started sending out New Year's cards so that I don't have to worry about getting them out in time for Christmas/Hanukkah. So no

[Deleted]

Yes. I approved my proof yesterday. They'll be here next week!

[ssmjlm]

Nope, but I have the tinyprints credit just waiting. We have 6 month pics tomorrow and Christmas PJ pics next weekend, so I should have them ordered by Thanksgiving.

[karinothing]

Not yet. We did family pictures this summer, and I can't decide if I should get a new one for the card or just use the one from the summer.

[SJ]

Not even close.

We send a lot of cards (100ish), but I have no idea what to do this year. We might be moving (I hope!) and so I am not sure the timing of that yet (want to use new address so people have updated records). We also don't know whether to incorporate the baby/pregnancy (will be in 2nd trimester by then) or if that's weird.

[msmerymac]

I want to insert a business card sized "we've moved!" announcement, but I only need like 50. Should I just put our new information on the card itself or is that tacky?

Oooh I might steal this and have his pics taken in Christmas pajamas. What a cute idea!!

[spankswife]

Just got our pics done last week. Waiting for the images....

[pugz]

yup I ordered earlier this week. Was going to use Costco but none of the designs did it for me. I actually ended up using Vista Print. It was all 50% off with free shipping (deal can be found on retailmenot.com) and then I added matching envelope seals and address labels. Got 100 of each for $85!

I did ours as part of the card.  I thought it was fine.   We just did a simple holiday photo flat card (we had professional photos done that year), and noted...we've moved with our new address on the back.

[savan]

No, but we're taking our pictures today.

[lindyanne]

I ordered mine a week and a half ago and they're being delivered tomorrow. I usually order as soon as we get our family photos back. I like having time to address them bc if I do too many at once my carpal tunnel flares up.

We moved last year and I put the info on the photo card. Then I used return address labels that have a moving truck and said we moved.
