Send them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-years-cards#post-2798095 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 19:56:53 +0000 lamariniere 2798095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely send them! In my DH’s culture, you have until the end of January to wish people happy new year. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-years-cards#post-2798094 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 19:55:10 +0000 SweetCaroline 2798094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's called LIFE! I appreciate people more when they send untimely cards! Go for it :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-years-cards#post-2798005 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 13:42:44 +0000 Adira 2798005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely send them! I'd love to get a New Years Card in the mail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-years-cards#post-2797986 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 13:00:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 2797986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, send! If I got one now I would probably smile and laugh knowing how crazy things get around the holidays and with kids and appreciate seeing your card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-years-cards#post-2797980 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 12:43:48 +0000 petitenoisette 2797980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, definitely send them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-years-cards#post-2797976 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 12:34:07 +0000 psw27 2797976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Send em! Anytime I get mail that isn't a bill or junk, I'm excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-years-cards#post-2797964 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 12:09:30 +0000 Corduroy 2797964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got one from some family friends. I probably enjoyed it more now than I would have in the Christmas craziness TBH. Send it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-years-cards#post-2797958 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 12:01:12 +0000 honeybear 2797958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I appreciate hearing from friends and family whenever they're able to get in touch. And this year you have some 'cover' from even the more judgmental types because the Post Office was really slow in delivering some things (I got an Xmas card after Jan. 1 that was posted WAY before Xmas). I say go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-years-cards#post-2797955 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 11:59:34 +0000 Lahela017 2797955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Send them! It's still January and you already made the cards! People will still enjoy getting them. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-years-cards#post-2797939 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 11:33:44 +0000 maddyz 2797939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made "Happy New Years" cards and then worked 12+ hour days for 3 weeks and never sent them.</p> <p>Is it too late? Would it be weird to send them now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-cards#post-2532301 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 13:37:50 +0000 YogiRunner 2532301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: completely agree. "Thinking of you" goes a long, long way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-cards#post-2532258 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 13:08:52 +0000 BSB 2532258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute! Although, I think I would only give this to people who were also going through IF since I was going through it myself. </p> <p>For some of these, I'm not sure how I would feel if I got it from someone who has not gone through IF. They can try to be strong for us but sometimes they won't get it. Also, it might still sting... even though, they mean well. Sure, give me a card as you pop out babies. (Sorry, I'm not trying to be bitter but IF sticks with you and it does hurt when your friends are fertile.)</p> <p>But, yeah, great idea from IF friend to another IF friend.</p> <p>ETA: I still stand by that a simple 'Thinking of you' from anyone would make my day while going through IVF treatments. I am trying to figure out how I would feel if the card said 'Thinking of you. #IFsucks'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-cards#post-2532240 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 12:45:34 +0000 Amorini 2532240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are great! Some just really nail it.</p> <p>I'd love to see some pregnant-after-IVF cards, too! Like "Be Happy. And try to not freak out too much!" </p> <p> :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-cards#post-2531942 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 08:56:13 +0000 natalie403 2531942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love these! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-cards#post-2531940 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 08:55:37 +0000 Caly 2531940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love these! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-cards#post-2531932 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 08:42:00 +0000 raspberries 2531932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stumbled on this Etsy shop and thought it might be relevant for those of us with close friends going through infertility (or going through it ourselves.)</p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TTCGreetingCards" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/shop/TTCGreetingCards</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send/page/2#post-2378537 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 18:50:13 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2378537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd rather get fewer of the really nice cards than more of the less expensive cards (and it's just not in the budget to get lots of the high quality ones I love). So this year I ordered 40 and we will send them to family and our closest friends.</p> <p>In the past, I've gotten 100 of the photo-paper cards from Costco, but I really love the high-quality ones from places like Minted. :) </p> <p>I'll post a picture of our card on FB for everyone who didn't receive one. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send/page/2#post-2378533 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 18:47:30 +0000 youboots 2378533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered 80. We have 67 on our address spreadsheet but I will also return them to people not on our list and send one to our housecleaner, my therapist, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send/page/2#post-2378471 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 17:14:49 +0000 LuLu Mom 2378471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered 75, and have 6 extras for those people we forgot (ones we get in the mail and didn't send too.) We have huge families so the majority are aunts/uncles/close cousins with close friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378453 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 16:55:25 +0000 Mommy Finger 2378453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Without mail merge and an address stamp, I would not send a single card. :) </p> <p>I freaked out when sending DS2's announcements as I ran out of printer ink and had to address 1/3 of the cards by hand. I was determined to get them out and running out to the store is a little more difficult with a newborn and a toddler. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378442 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 16:45:55 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2378442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only order 40 each year. I just don't feel up to sending more than that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378441 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 16:43:59 +0000 birdofafeather 2378441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: we do too! 105 on our list this year but I have to order in multiples of 25. @Mrs D: this is the first year I figured out mail merge with my google doc and word! It's a game changer. Handwriting 100+ addresses the last 5 years was lame. Address stamp is a necessity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378438 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 16:40:50 +0000 GrapeCrush 2378438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered 110 this year, and will send out probably 100 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378429 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 16:27:21 +0000 Greentea 2378429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to!

I may end up ordering a few more, I'm not quite sure yet. I always order enough so that I can keep one. </p>
