Hellobee Boards

My cousin in law DIYs her cards then prints wallet sized pictures to glue on in a fun way. I really look forward to getting her cards every year! Eventually I want to get to that point but this year I'll be staging a photo shoot of M at home. Then designing my own holiday card and probably upload to Vistaprint when they have a crazy sale!

I liked the service we used for DS's birth announcements, so we'll probably go that route...I can't remember if it was Snapfish or Shutterfly.

eta: We're going to do Shutterfly, I just decided...as they have preformatted Holiday Story Cards.

@artbee: Anytime I've ordered from Vistaprint, I select the slowest shipping method and they ALWAYS end up sending it way sooner than the original time frame.

we have SO many credits to shutterfly that we're going go just order from there, assuming we don't use them all up for birth announcements. if we do use them all, we're going to probably go with vistaprint - I loved them for my wedding, and like highwire said, they usually ship SUPER quick even with the "3 week" shipping!

I used shutterfly to make picture thank you cards for our wedding last year and they came out really nice! We are having my brother take some pictures of us in October when I will be around 30 weeks (he did a set of engagement photos for us too) and will use shutterfly or a similar site to make Christmas Cards with them. I want to get them out early since I want to send birth announcements once baby is born in late December/early January and don't want to send them too close together.

@Mamamoose - that is such a cute idea! If LO is born before we take down the tree I might have to take a picture like that as well...

I buy a template off Etsy and order mine through Mpix. They always look fantastic!
