Yes, sorry to be the Grinch here, but it’s time to start thinking about Christmas cards. I usually order my cards in October so I can get them sent out soon after Thanksgiving. I love sending them out pretty early and then get to enjoy receiving cards throughout the rest of the month. The hold up for me right now is having the right picture – that’s always the toughest!
I remember LOVING receiving Christmas cards growing up. I’d volunteer to get the mail in the morning so I could be the one to open the cards. It was so fun to get pictures from friends and family, near and far; read their letters and the little handwritten notes to our family. I like the personal handwritten notes so I try to include those on all my Christmas cards. Now, I love getting cards and pictures in the mail from my friends – seeing their little families and how much their children have grown in the past year. Even though Facebook, email, and other social media helps make the distance between us seem smaller, I still think sending and receiving cards are an important tradition to uphold.
Last year, I ordered cards through Shutterfly. I love the paper they use and the quality of cards they provide. There are so many options available – which I love too! You can choose cutesy, classic, religious, whimsical, or modern. I like cards that are creative with a fun font…
These are some of my favorite 2011 designs…
Shutterfly wants to help make your Christmas card sending fun and easy too – so thanks to them, I can give 25 free photo cards to the first three people to reply to this blog post or reply on Facebook! How fun is that?!
