Where do you order your Christmas cards from?

Shutterfly two years ago, but my procrastination usually can't make me wait for them to be shipped to me. So I've used walgreens and Staples to print my Christmas photos so I get them within 1-2 days. Oh, usually designed with whatever photo program and layouts they have. DH will probably make our own this year since he is making out birth announcement from scratch.

Typically vista print. But, i may have ordered from walmart last year, I honestly can't remember. Wherever has the best deal for the quantity I need. Hoping to take pictures earlier this year so I can order in advance!

We Get ours from vistaprint. I usually design it myself in Photoshop And upload the design to print. I also buy a groupon and end up paying about $35 for 80 cards on thick card stock and printed on both sides inc shipping and envelopes.

I used to design them myself and have them printed by Catprint, but now I had two babies so I got them from Tiny Prints last year. I'll probably do Tiny Prints or Minted again this year. I love their designs and thick, matte stock.

Tiny Prints. We've also done shutterfly, but the quality was a lot better last year with Tiny Prints. Better options too for unique cuts, trims, foil, etc

Costco.
I wasn't a fan of their regular photo cards, but they just started doing nice stationary last year and we were really pleased with them.

pinhole press, we got tons of compliments on them last year. that surprised me because i feel like all christmas cards are the same after a while!

I've done Vistaprint and Picaboo last year. The quality was equal/comparable imo.
@autumnlove: I just found out my brother has a Costco membership. EVERYONE on here sings their cards' praises. I'm going to borrow his membership this year to order their cards. How long do they usually take from date of order to your house?

Shutterfly the last several years with coupon codes etc you can get a pretty good deal.

Shuuterfly. Easy to get discounts and pretty good quality for price. I can edit and adjust without having to design the whole thing myself.

I have tried out a few different services over the years, and my favorite is Storkie Express. We got gorgeous cards from them in 2012, 2013 and 2014 so I'll probably use them again this year.

I've done shutterfly, minted and vistaprint in recent years. They're all comparable I think.

We have used Tiny Prints and Shutterfly. I like Tiny Prints best - better quality. You can usually get some good promo/discount codes around thanksgiving.

We did shutterfly but I may try minted this year. Our photo is in an old general store so I want something nostalgic feeling but haven't found it yet.

Miller's Photo lab. I think they have a non-commercial section. I just really like theirs. I download a template online and do drag and drop

I've used shutterfly and walmart. They were of similar quality and walmart was about half as expensive. It's a Christmas card, someone is going to put it out for 3 weeks and then throw it away. I didn't want to spend a fortune on them.

@regberadaisy: I think you have to pick them up at the warehouse (at least I had to last year). I think it only took a few days for them to be ready.

@lawbee11: oh, cool. Thanks! We'll be visiting over thanksgiving so I'll just have to get my pictures done before then.

Minted. I love the designs, and I work there so the designers are great about my special requests like adding an element from another design or doing custom colors.

I've done shutterfly and tiny prints.
Might try minted this year.
