The last two years, we got vouchers to use at Picaboo, which was awesome! I think we missed it this year, so now I'm trying to decide if I should get cards from somewhere else. Where do you get your cards?

We bought ours from Amazon Prime's new printing branch when they were running a grand opening special. They were super affordable (under $40 for 100 shipped), double sided card stock with return address labels, and I'm happy with the quality.

@rattles: What! Amazon has a printing branch?? I've never even heard of this before!

We did vistaprint this year. I showed DH a bunch of designs from various sites and he likes the one from vistaprint best. Quality is decent, price is great.
I typically do shutterfly but didn't find any designs this year that worked with the picture we wanted to use.

Vistaprint...it's cheaper than the American companies, so even though I loved the designs on tiny prints better, I went with them.

I am getting regular cards and sticking a picture in them. I just don't have $50+ to drop on cards this year. Old school!

My mom does them (that includes us) and she usually does it through Shutterfly.

I design my own and order from overnight prints. Its $16.25 + s/h for 50 postcards.

Most likely Minted because they have postcard options. It saves me money since they're cheaper and I'll save on stamps. Just waiting to see what there black friday/ cyber monday sale is. I used mpix last year and the cards came out great.

Vistaprint - I got 50 flat holiday cards with envelopes for $35 including shipping. (Ebates also has a 4% discount right now too.)
Still about $13 more than the exact same order from last year though ($2 more for shipping, and they're including tax this year as well) so I'll probably shop around a bit more next year to see if I can find a better deal.

shutterfly. Check your emails - I had $20 in credits from Toys R Us, $20 and free shipping from gymboree, and $10 in credits from their catalog. Then I was lazy and added the photo ornaments and calendar I wanted too. I bought 125 pop-out photo cards, 2 metal photo ornaments and a calendar for less than $200.

Shutterfly has a lot of great deals going right now so we ordered through them, as well as two wall calendars to give to the grandmas featuring all DD all the time. In the past we've done a bunch of others, including Minted.

Shutterfly. I used coke rewards redemption and other various offers stacked so I only paid s+h for 55 cards.

@rattles: I wanted to try them this year. Glad to hear that the quality was satisfactory.

@Adira: Vistaprint. I've been using them for years. The quality and price are great and they're always coming out with new designs.
I also used them for our wedding invites and will use them for our baby's birth announcement too.

Probably Paper Culture. I used them last year and uploaded all our addresses so it will be much easier to use them again this year than to reformat addresses for another site.

Can I be a heel and get political? Sierra Club! and UNICEF. I usually do photo cards and may put a pic in with the cards but I've been feeling like I should do more to express my values IRL and not just on the internet so I am trying to do the charitable thing this year.

I usually look to see who has the best groupon offer. That was staples last year, and looks like it might be again this year. I've used shutterfly, walmart, and staples, and haven't seen much of a difference in quality. I can usually find a design or two that I like from anyone.

I did several years myself on card stock , but its too time consuming, so last year I switched to Shutterfly. There is a Black Friday sale on now!

I just ordered from Mixbook last night. They had 40-50% off so it was a good deal- now expired but I'm sure they will run it again. I usually do Minted but didn't love any of their designs with the pictures I wanted to use this year. Mixbook also did address printing but it cost extra- worked out to 15 cents an envelope, while it's included with Minted, but Minted cost more overall.

Staples. Third year in a row. 100 double sided cards with envelopes for $25. Plus, it's printed at your local Staples so its can be printed same day or next day. Great for people who wait til the last minute.
I bought it on Groupon.

CVS is 40% off. The code is cheers40 until 11/26. With coupon, 80 cards for $35 or other quantities available. 1 hour, same day pickup for most designs.
Groupon looks good but I don't have Staples near me and it says coupon 'not yet available.' $19 for 100 custom holiday cards; in-store pickup required

Just stuffed my cvs cards in their envelopes and only finished it on the computer just a few hours ago! There was an additional $5 off in their coupon book on the photo store counter. So $30 for 80 with code and coupon. Quality was a little thin for a card but thicker than a typical photo. Loved the convenience and would use them again.

Tiny prints. I have a $50 of voucher from last year because I had shipping issues with them. And I like their cards the best!

I like Pear Tree Greetings because they use recycled paper. We've ordered from them several years in a row and the quality is great.

Shutterfly. But after reading this I'm curious about other options
