We don't really write messages anymore though... we just order the photo cards and send em out. Our list is up to 85 recipients this year. We've tried each year to narrow it down but we just can't. I guess in our circle sending out cards is the norm because our little board in the kitchen is completely full! I love getting cards in the mail and seeing pics of everyone. I'm going to start a new tradition this year of putting them all in a mini scrapbook and label it with the year. That way you can look back through the years and see how everyone's kids have grown. </p> <p>Come to think of it, that would be a lot of annoying little scrapbooks. Maybe I'll get one big scrapbook and do a 2-page spread for each year. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-465108 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:32:37 +0000 singingbee 465108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlecasita1122: I have a friend that sends out Valentine's day cards for this reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-465106 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:28:49 +0000 littlebug 465106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I was too busy writing out my shower thank yous to bother ALSO doing Christmas cards!

I was planning on getting normal cards until I saw the sale on Zazzle (someone posted it up on HB) and ended up doing photo cards of DD instead. The shipping was a little complicated: I had them shipped to my mom and instructed her to send me a specific amount to send to ppl in Sweden, while she kept the rest to send from there (i saved massively on stamps this way). I printed out everyones address on labels and ordered stamps in advance, so she just had to put the 'stickers' on. it wasn't too much of a pain for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-465037 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 03:46:22 +0000 sylvie_b 465037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was our 2nd year sending photo cards....and as much time as it takes, we love receiving our family and friends cards, esp those we don't get to see as often. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-465001 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 23:50:52 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 465001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-464988 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 23:39:57 +0000 Springtime 464988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was lazy and did not! I wished I would have though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-464965 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 23:05:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 464965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were going to and after the first shoot bombed, the second was too because DS got really sick, sooo we never did pictures. Next year we will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-464955 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 22:44:12 +0000 singingbee 464955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We did. My parents started to send out a picture card when I was 11 months old and continue it today (I'm 32). I started it with DH when we were engaged. This year we sent out our 3rd Christmas card together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-464934 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 21:40:48 +0000 prettylizy 464934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I was super excited to send out our cards this year, they turned out great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-464928 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 21:26:33 +0000 erwoo 464928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Almost barely made it but it all got there in time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-464922 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 21:22:48 +0000 heffalump 464922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. Chanukah was early so we had them out a month ago. Next year chanukah is before thanksgiving so I'm going to have to be on the ball. I have a feeling my none Jewish friends are going to think I'm nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-464813 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 15:58:14 +0000 mrs. bird 464813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not this year, i was a slacker. next year i will, i usually do, i just wasn't feelin it this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-464811 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 15:55:24 +0000 immabeetoo 464811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Baby was born 11.25 so I had labels already printed and picked out designs for birth announcements, Xmas cards, and printed moving announcements. Had to pay for rush shipping but they're sent! Hope to have it be annual with a pro family pic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463939 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 10:32:42 +0000 Weagle 463939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, but not until Thursday. Our cards didn't arrive until Wednesday night so we were frantically writing addresses as we were packing for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463886 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 09:43:09 +0000 Bao 463886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not this year, we didn't have the extra money. Next year for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463885 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 09:42:38 +0000 yin 463885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love sending out photo holiday cards and had to send them out this year. Felt like everyone expected it after receiving one from last year. We just set up a tripod to take our family picture, and it works pretty well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463883 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 09:40:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 463883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do every year! I do it as much for myself as anything else. It's nice to do something to remind our friends that we're thinking of them in a personal way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463868 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 09:31:09 +0000 ladyfingers 463868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we never do. We will start sending them next year once there's a cute LO to show everybody year after year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463850 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 09:17:14 +0000 hilsy85 463850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't...I wanted to but then I kind of lost interest. When we get holiday cards I end up throwing them out bc we have no where to display them, which makes me think that other ppl probably don't really want ours. Maybe next year though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463845 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 09:13:33 +0000 Smurfette 463845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, this year we did them for the 1st time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463834 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 08:50:51 +0000 pelikila 463834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ended up doing New Year's cards this year because I couldn't guarantee we'd get them out before Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463824 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 08:39:38 +0000 Bookish 463824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we did for the first time ever! We included our pregnancy announcement picture, and everyone loved it. I can't wait to include LO next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463818 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 08:35:06 +0000 MrsBeachyBaby 463818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did holiday cards with pictures my mom took of us plus the dog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463777 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 07:50:47 +0000 matador84 463777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't get on the ball with it this year. Maybe New Years cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463776 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 07:50:34 +0000 MamaMoose 463776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We did a Christmas card/birth announcement with one of her newborn photos. I loooove the way they turned out. I was pretty impressed with myself that she was born on Nov 26th and I managed to get the photos taken, get the image from the photog, order the cards online, and address and stamp them all to be mailed by Dec 13th!! Luckily that was all before my baby decided naps are for losers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-send-out-christmas-cards#post-463771 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 07:42:29 +0000 autumnlove 463771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p>
