I grew up sending holiday cards and have kept up the tradition ever since leaving home after high school. J and I noticed that over the past few years the number of photo cards we were receiving was growing exponentially. After writing the umpteenth note in our cards last year, J swore that we'd only send picture cards from now on. I have only really been a fan of the photo cards that had very professional-looking pictures, so I wasn't really excited to send out photo cards unless we had a
really good picture of us. We had hoped to get a great picture of us and our dogs in the snow, but the weather didn't come upon us this winter as quickly as we'd expected... so, we went with a wedding pic, much to J's chagrin.
We saw that
Tiny Prints (the sister company of
Wedding Paper Divas) was having a sale on their holiday photo cards, so we pulled the trigger. (Use code TPSHIPSALE to save up to $30 and receive free shipping on your order!)
These were the finalists:
This one was
my favorite.
I told J he could pick his favorite, so we ended up with this one. Very traditional, but I like the calligraphy-like font. Just because I can, I'm posting our actual pic for your viewing pleasure.
Have you ordered your holiday cards yet? Where do you plan to order them?

I love the card you picked. I haven't ordered our Christmas cards yet, I need to get on that soon.
oh it's super cute!! I'm usually the one to wait till the last second to even think about holiday cards...well I must confess that we already have ours!! haha! I had a credit for Kodak gallery so I made a photo card for the first time ever! This is actually the first year we are sending out cards together...it's pretty exciting!
Love them!!!
I struggled with a photo card this year because we didn't have any great photos to use. We also didn't have a good picture at all of the four of us and since we won't see the girls again until Thanksgiving we ended up going with three different shots...one of Lee & I, one of the girls, and the one of us with Diane Sawyer & Robin Roberts from our recent trip to NYC. I know it sounds cheesy but I love that pic of Lee & I. I love Tiny Prints and almost went with them but Tracie from TSJ Photography (love her blog!) offered her help (she has some templates for her photography business). They arrived this week and I love them!
We have some people we don't send photo cards to and I just found some great options from Mr. Boddington over on One Kings Lane today. With a credit I had I was able to get two sets for free - yay!
Those are really cute, modern designs. Love the one (and the pic!) you guys chose!
I like the one you choose!
I buy our holiday cards after the previous Christmas season. I buy them at 75%. I try to get them in the mail at the beginning of Dec so people can enjoy them all month long.
Very cute! And thanks for sharing the promo code! :-) Unfortunately I already purchased our Christmas cards (gotta love Target) otherwise I would be hitting up Etsy!
Though now I am re-thinking and wishing I had gone with a photo card! :-)
We used Tiny Prints last year and will likely go with them again this year. The cards are such great quality and I love the designs! Yours is adorable and I especially like the first design you posted. We are getting our pictures made next weekend and picking a card after that. It was SO much easier last year when we could use wedding pics!
My hubby makes fun of me every year for writing notes in all our cards, maybe we will do the photos next year!
I think the card you chose was perfect - simple and sophisticated! Thanks for spreading the word about the show - the opening last night was fantastic! I will post some pics later today!
This looks great! And what a beautiful photo! Ya'll did a good compromise!
Just ordered ours too!! We went with snapfish.com though . . . $0.23 a piece was quite a deal!! I will be sharing them soon too.
you're so on top of things haha i hadnt even thought of holiday cards yet!

Love the one you picked! You are so ahead of the game. I just saw that your shopping is done too! I'm jealous!!
