Hellobee Boards

Yep! I love getting them, so I like to send them, too

Yes! I'm not much for normal mail but I love love sending and receiving Christmas cards! I've sent them out most years for the last 10 years or so, even before I was married or had kids.

We plan to now that LO is here (photo Christmas cards) but that is just the plan. We need to take a photo before that time.. Hopefully that happens!

Yes. Although it got really pricey posting to England so we stopped. We will definitely start again next year when the amount we need to send overseas will be significantly reduced.

Yup, we do. We are across the country from our friends and family and like to do road trips so it's pretty much a tradition to take our Christmas photo in a different place. With the twins here, we are going to try to stay local. Trying for a Seattle skyline photo but if it's too cold, we might have to do an indoor photo.

Yes, we started sending out Christmas cards when we moved into our house together. Since starting a family, our cards now include photos of our kids.

No, I love getting them, but it's just one thing I can't add to my plate right now and stay sane. My husband always says we should, I told him that he is more than welcome to take it on

Yes, since we had kids. We do photo cards, and I'm not a fan of sending "couple" cards.

I always sent one to my grandparents in the past but no one else. Last year was our first Christmas with a LO so I made a simple card with his pic and mailed it to family and a few close friends.

We send around 100, although the years my kids were born, their birth announcements did double duty. (They're December and mid-November babies.)

I have started doing New Years cards since it gives me a few extra weeks which is usually needed during the holiday madness!

Every year since we got married. I am going to use a pic of DS this year but want to wait to closer to December since he is growing so much.

No, we don't send mass greeting cards. We send cards to our parents picked specifically for them.
I don't plan to change things once LO arrives. We may enclose a picture in a printed card to our parents, but we won't expand our card list.

No offense to anyone, but I do not like photo cards are at all. Those would not get displayed in my house. Some of the ones I have seen are more like postcards anyway, which do not stand up on their own.

I don't send a lot of mail, but this is one ritual that I really cherish.

Can't vote. We do sometimes. It all depends how organized I am that year.

We never have! We continue to tack onto our parents picture, lol.

I did more BEFORE we had LO than we do now. We may this year.

We haven't in the past but hopefully this will be our first year doing them. I love getting them so I figure I should send them out too!

@regberadaisy: we have over 30 to send to family alone! I've tried culling it down and will again but I order from my professional lab usually (gonna check out some recs from other bees from the where do you print thread) and I order in batches of 25, so if I can't get under 75, then i just keep people.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that's a shame! I love receiving cards from friends and family and seeing everyone! I can't think of a house I go to during the holidays that doesn't have cards up or out in some fashion from family and friends. I've seen some amazing displays and some people just have them on a platter on their coffee table and look through them. I like to keep them from the year before in my Christmas stuff and go through them when I'm putting out decorations. I keep close friends and family photo cards or years people got married/had a kid to remember!
