Just going out at the same time! Next year I'm doing Christmas cards earlier and we won't be having a big birthday to-do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-invitations-during-the-holidays-printed-or-ecard#post-1244504 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 13:44:37 +0000 regberadaisy 1244504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about modifying your holiday card to be adaptable as a invitation. And those who are invited will get a combo holiday/bday invitation? Others just a regular holiday card? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-invitations-during-the-holidays-printed-or-ecard#post-1244493 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 13:41:02 +0000 Mommy Finger 1244493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no problem killing two birds with one stone and mailing the invite and christmas card out together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-invitations-during-the-holidays-printed-or-ecard#post-1244306 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:56:19 +0000 birdofafeather 1244306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>alright, i'm going for the printed! i found this invite on etsy and it's exactly what i was looking for. now just to nail down the venue! :) </p> [attach=1362/13/mwvttv.570x570.il_570xN.438054693_3uhm.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-invitations-during-the-holidays-printed-or-ecard#post-1243896 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 11:07:30 +0000 Happygal 1243896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted electronically. Paperless Post had some really nice ones. But I'm thinking of a laid back affair. If it's a bigger deal, the invites should match that tone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-invitations-during-the-holidays-printed-or-ecard#post-1243864 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 10:53:37 +0000 Smurfette 1243864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not a fan of evites for birthday parties.

Since we're likely sending out our Christmas cards in the next 2-3 weeks and need to get her invitations out around the same time, I'm wondering if it's overkill to do two mailed cards. I like print so much and I'm leaning toward that but then doing something online for her birthday is appealing so I'm not lickin envelopes, hand writing addresses, and adding postage twice. </p> <p>We usually send 80-100 Christmas cards (huge extended family!) and we have about 30 birthday invites to send. I would design an invitation either way, just a matter of delivery. </p>
