Our parents have 18 siblings between them. Add our parents, grandparents and sibs for 13 more. We haven't sent any to cousins yet. Or any friends. I've lived in 4 countries and 6 states, so a couple of friends from each place and a couple of current friends, DH's friends... We have a hard time keeping it under 100, as crazy as it sounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317897 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:50:11 +0000 birdofafeather 2317897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: we have over 30 to send to family alone! I've tried culling it down and will again but I order from my professional lab usually (gonna check out some recs from other bees from the where do you print thread) and I order in batches of 25, so if I can't get under 75, then i just keep people. 😜</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that's a shame! I love receiving cards from friends and family and seeing everyone! I can't think of a house I go to during the holidays that doesn't have cards up or out in some fashion from family and friends. I've seen some amazing displays and some people just have them on a platter on their coffee table and look through them. I like to keep them from the year before in my Christmas stuff and go through them when I'm putting out decorations. I keep close friends and family photo cards or years people got married/had a kid to remember! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317785 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 12:54:07 +0000 regberadaisy 2317785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love receiving cards! I'm always bummed I don't receive as many as I send. :sad: </p> <p>@birdofafeather: @rattles: 😮 100???? Who are you sending them to???</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: come back next year. ;) I prefer flat cards to folded! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317772 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 12:48:32 +0000 Purpledaisy 2317772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't in the past but hopefully this will be our first year doing them. I love getting them so I figure I should send them out too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317561 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 10:55:01 +0000 JoJoGirl 2317561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Never have, don't plan to. My family never did either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317560 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 10:54:41 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2317560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did more BEFORE we had LO than we do now. We may this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317558 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 10:54:17 +0000 Alivoo01 2317558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do!

I work for a stationery and design company and use their designs. We offer some unusual formats which means the cards we send are usually pretty awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317463 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 09:55:38 +0000 .twist. 2317463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't vote.

I love getting photo cards so I decided I wanted to participate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317262 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 05:24:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2317262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we don't send mass greeting cards. We send cards to our parents picked specifically for them.<br /> I don't plan to change things once LO arrives. We may enclose a picture in a printed card to our parents, but we won't expand our card list. </p> <p>No offense to anyone, but I do not like photo cards are at all. Those would not get displayed in my house. Some of the ones I have seen are more like postcards anyway, which do not stand up on their own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317253 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 04:26:47 +0000 autumnleaves 2317253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We send Thanksgiving cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317249 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 03:39:50 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2317249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every year since we got married. I am going to use a pic of DS this year but want to wait to closer to December since he is growing so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317247 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 02:48:09 +0000 Kemma 2317247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year was the first year I sent them but we had moved away from family and friends so it was a nice way to keep in touch :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317232 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 01:50:08 +0000 abmamma 2317232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have started doing New Years cards since it gives me a few extra weeks which is usually needed during the holiday madness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317205 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 23:25:36 +0000 PawPrints 2317205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love sending them out and receiving them, though last year was weird and almost everyone was super late with them and we didn't receive them until after we got home from our week-long family visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317197 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 23:09:18 +0000 rattles 2317197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We send around 100, although the years my kids were born, their birth announcements did double duty. (They're December and mid-November babies.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317195 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 23:07:14 +0000 youboots 2317195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But I cut down from over 100 to 65 last year and I'm glad we send less now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317171 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 21:45:30 +0000 jhd 2317171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always sent one to my grandparents in the past but no one else. Last year was our first Christmas with a LO so I made a simple card with his pic and mailed it to family and a few close friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317165 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 21:40:45 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2317165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never have before, but we always said that when we had kids we would start. So I guess this year is the first year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317153 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 21:20:17 +0000 HabesBabe 2317153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, since we had kids. We do photo cards, and I'm not a fan of sending "couple" cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317146 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 21:04:28 +0000 Truth Bombs 2317146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Every year since we were engaged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317127 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 20:43:42 +0000 lemondrop 2317127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I love getting them, but it's just one thing I can't add to my plate right now and stay sane. My husband always says we should, I told him that he is more than welcome to take it on :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317110 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 20:22:16 +0000 bpcmarj 2317110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, always. Even this year (post divorce) I will still send them with DD and I. It is so classic to me and I LOVE receiving them, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-mass-christmas-cards#post-2317107 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 20:14:09 +0000 yin 2317107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we started sending out Christmas cards when we moved into our house together. Since starting a family, our cards now include photos of our kids. :) </p>
