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 love getting lots of cards from friends, even if we don't see them very often, and of course family - and I hope they like getting ours too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378332 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 14:54:56 +0000 erinpye 2378332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Order 100, 97 addressed, a couple just in case we forget someone, and one to keep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378330 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 14:53:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2378330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought 60. 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> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378328 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 14:52:11 +0000 leighleigh 2378328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 30. This is the first year we did a picture card so I could show off my bump :) but we'll probably start doing more next year once the little one arrives for his first Christmas </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378317 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 14:45:59 +0000 Mrs. J 2378317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>80-90! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378303 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 14:39:55 +0000 mauxie 2378303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did 100 this year.

My address list has 85 on it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378181 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 13:19:12 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2378181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year I bought 25 birth announcement/Xmas card combos. I've already sent 10 or so to people who sent baby gifts. Then I'm sending to another 10 or so that I'm buying fits for. I usually send a few more Xmas cards but am trying to cut back this year. But now I think I need to get more because some people have mentioned not getting a birth announcement to my parents... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378176 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 13:14:56 +0000 travelingnanny 2378176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BF and I bought 40 of them. I have a very large family and it is just too expensive to send them to everyone so we have do immediate friends and family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378175 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 13:14:19 +0000 Smurfette 2378175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We scaled it back this year. I ordered 75 and I am sure I will be a little short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378174 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 13:12:59 +0000 Alivoo01 2378174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We send about 25ish? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378071 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 12:17:59 +0000 petunia354 2378071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30ish.

I don't send any cards to my family members, just close friends. I hand-write them, so we probably send less than 20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-christmas-cards-do-you-send#post-2378065 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 12:13:42 +0000 lilyann 2378065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have small families.
