The more and earlier u order, the cheaper it gets. Costco is really cheap in bulk too but everyone here gets them from there. Sometimes we do too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-18505 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 14:36:05 +0000 chopsuey 18505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: Wow great deal! We got the thicker card w/ just one picture :) man, can't imagine having to mail out 100 cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-18460 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 13:00:24 +0000 Red 18460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, actually taking pictues today :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-18447 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 12:43:03 +0000 808love 18447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we ordered on Shutterfly last week. We got 100 for about 30bucks b/c we got the most inexpensive card. I was able to put 6 pics on it. There was a five day turnaround. So quick!! I like to get a jump start on them since we have to do so many. Most of them we put in our co-workers mail box or give to one major relative so we don't have to mail them. I feel like I need to include all the people who came to our wedding and our list keeps getting bigger now that we have so many baby friends.<br /> Oh and most of the pics were just of our daughter. We only have one fairly decent family pic we took the day I ordered it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-18426 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 11:30:08 +0000 chopsuey 18426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I ordered my family Christmas cards on Shutterfly. They're having a 35% off sale and free shipping. Cost us $50 for 35 cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-18425 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 11:29:06 +0000 chopsuey 18425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just ordered our Christmas cards!!!! Picture came out SO well! Wish there was a board where we could all share our family Christmas photos!! :D *hint-hint mr. bee* ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-12215 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:05:11 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 12215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dont do holiday cards. Its not very popular here. But I love seeing everyone elses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-12203 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 09:59:21 +0000 duetletterpress 12203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes we will! we took pics last weekend. i hope they came out :] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-11938 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 19:49:23 +0000 heffalump 11938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love family picture cards! We always did a family picture with our furbaby, so this will be our first year as a family of 4 :) </p> <p>Any ideas on good, cheap websites to make them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-11901 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 18:44:50 +0000 geekinheels 11901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sent an e-card out last year, and we plan on doing the same this year around. And while we didn't have TWO babies last year, we have a dog who made it extra difficult by not sitting still. We used our DSLR on burst mode to take a gazillion shots to get the one we liked, but I like to think it turned out well at the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-11831 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:45:42 +0000 mediagirl 11831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year we did with our wedding photos. They were soooo easy I wish we could do them again. This year we really don't have anything fantastic to send out, unless we want to take a silly picture of us with something that says we'll be 3 next year. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-11794 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:12:58 +0000 TheFixIts 11794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Hubs and I did a photoshoot with friends. We took their pictures, they took ours. We're all photography hobbyists, so the quality is up to my standards. Here was one of the contenders:<br /> <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/09/25/one-year-anniversary-3/" rel="nofollow">http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/09/25/one-year-anniversary-3/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-11781 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:40:16 +0000 DillonLion 11781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've sent them out the last two years (no kids, just the two of us and pets) and we'll send one out again this year. We just got married so I'm using a wedding photo on the card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-11729 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:41:37 +0000 lavender 11729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year it was a wedding pic of us and a professional pic of our dog (a gift from my sil....Loved it!). This year will be of our dog, and next year we will do it with the baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-11709 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:25:11 +0000 amy 11709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, this year i chose to do a 2011 recap photo card, a photo from every month and mixed it up with photos of just my daughter, just my son, the two of them together, and even threw in a picture of all of us but those are hard to some by =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10171 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:30:56 +0000 MegWag 10171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did one last year with wedding pictures. I'm thinking we'll take some with a timer this year and send them from us and "the bump". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10164 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:00:29 +0000 BSB 10164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did last year and I think we will do another one this year. </p> <p>The timer on our camera was great for family photos. It was really funny seeing all of the outtakes we took. We don't have kids yet but trying to get our dog to behave in the picture was quite a task! I can see it getting harder when we have a dog and a kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10154 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:09:11 +0000 pelikila 10154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are looking forward to doing just that! We took 9 month photos with the photographer we used for DS's newborn shoot and did some family ones too that I hope to use for our Christmas card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10125 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 16:15:14 +0000 yin 10125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most definitely!! Since I regret not sending out a baby announcement, I will make up for it with a pretty niffy family holiday card. Now only if I can figure out how to take a picture with the three of us. That will be tricky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10117 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 16:10:08 +0000 Boogs 10117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will, especially since it's our LO's first Christmas! We have been taking pro photos every 3 months, so we have some good options from those. We also have a few non-pro photos that we really love, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10104 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 15:47:31 +0000 HabesBabe 10104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as tequiero21-- won't be sending one this year (it'll just be me, hubs, and our dog), but will definitely go all out next year! if all goes well, we'll have our little one mid-July. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10101 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 15:44:10 +0000 tequiero21 10101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not this year, but hope by this time next year, have a family to send a pic of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10096 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 15:13:01 +0000 BoogieBea 10096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'd like to send out family photo holiday cards as well but will see if we can get in a good family photo. I have a hard time getting good photos of our son these days because he's always on the move or is trying to play with the camera. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10092 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 15:04:22 +0000 chopsuey 10092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! going to take one after thanksgiving! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10088 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 14:47:24 +0000 Andrea 10088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Looch - haha, that is funny but I totally agree. It seems like the majority of the cards I receive are kids only which is cute but I want to see the adults, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10086 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 14:45:02 +0000 looch 10086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, because I personally think the ones with just kids are a bit strange...like the kids just appeared on the planet with no parental involvement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10084 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 14:43:28 +0000 Andrea 10084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but it is dependent on the picture. We are doing a photo shoot next week so we'll see if we get any good ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sending-out-holiday-cards-with-a-family-picture#post-10054 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 13:39:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 10054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With Halloween behind us, it's time for us to start thinking about the holidays. I hope I can get a good picture of Charlie and Olive together, and I'd like to send out a Christmas e-card (I'm lazy). Trying to get a good picture of the four of us seems like an impossible task!</p> <p>Will you be sending out holiday cards with a family picture? </p>
