We're under 30 cards. If I don't get a card from someone 2 years in a row, they come off the list for next year.
I feel like people don't send cards as much as they used to. I love holiday cards! We will send about 50 I think. It went up after we got married, but I think I'm going to start scaling back this year based on who we've gotten cards from.
We've started getting "e-cards" from some people, which I get in theory (cheaper, less paper waste, etc) but I dislike. I save all the photo cards we get in a photo album that I cherish. I love seeing pics of our close friends/families and how they change over the years as the kids get older. Makes me smile.
noodleoo. I'm with you. I love cards. I spend a lot of time picking out nice cards with a good sentiment. I always write a little something in each one too. I started to realizeiI was in the minority. I get a ton of picture cards, all preprinted or no cards at all. That's why I started the 2 year rule.

Yeah, me too. I write something on every card. I enjoy it. I don't mind getting cards without anything on them (some of my friends have huge families and send out 100+, so I get that). I just wish more people still sent cards.
I have one coworker who I used to send cards to and I remember him telling me how much him and his wife liked getting our card. He said that they never have their shit together in time to send cards, but he loves getting them from us. So I kept him on our list since he always used to make a point to mention to me that they got it and loved it.

20ish... Most of our friends don't send cards, so just family. I order 20 every year but usually have to dig into my card box for a few extra for people that added us to their list
