Sending out Christmas/holiday cards this year.. - The DIS Discussion Forums

C.Ann · 11-17-2009, 08:00 PM

Yes or no?

I will be sending out probably 35 or so to begin with - and then send out more if I receive cards from people who weren't originally on my list..

Bluestars · 11-17-2009, 08:02 PM

Some years I send cards out to everyone I know and other years I send them just to close relatives. I think this year will be the close relatives type of year.

GaSleepingBeautyFan · 11-17-2009, 08:05 PM

I'll send them out but I only send to relatives and friends I only see once in a while so they know I'm thinking of them.

DH sends out about 100. I asked him to cut the list in half this year. I think he sends them to nearly everyone he knows. LOL

luvmarypoppins · 11-17-2009, 08:36 PM

Yes, along with my usual yearly update letter. With the cancer, coma and 7 surgeries this year, it will be interesting. Only taking 1 person off my cc list that I know of.

Tinkerbelle's Mom · 11-17-2009, 08:45 PM

I will be sending out my normal amount of chirstmas cards this year. Since dd and I moved to the west coast it is one way to keep in contact with my east coast friends.

This year DD wanted in on the planning part of our card. So we picked it out together. We ended up with a Nightmare before christmas theme.

It ended up being very cute. It will be interesting to see how some of my friends react.

Yes to Christmas Cards for us this year. We'll send them to family and close friends. Probably only about 20 cards total.
I LOVE writing Christmas cards!

tigger813 · 11-17-2009, 08:59 PM

I usually send out cards from my address book. I always seem to have to add more people each year or I receive cards from new people each year. After joining FB I now have more to send out to. I ordered 75 photo cards from Costco last week. I just have to address the envelopes! I used a family photo from when we went to the Christmas Carol train last month. Got 75 cards for $21! Great deal and they are BIG cards!

4nana · 11-17-2009, 09:09 PM

Yes, we usually send/receive 40 to 50 cards. Since we're blessed to celebrate our 45th anniversary this year, we ordered personalized cruise photo C'mas cards.

I've always enjoyed finding the perfect sentimental cards to send, loved signing and even adding a short note.

This year with so many happenings I've decide to take the easy way out for once!

MomNeedsVacay · 11-17-2009, 09:13 PM

I'll be ordering 100 this year!!

As soon as I figure out what the heck we're doing for the photo.

JOCAmom · 11-17-2009, 09:13 PM

I usually don't send any. Not that I don't want to but I always seem to forget until 2 days before Christmas. I've made it my goal this holiday season to send out Christmas cards in time and to have all our gifts wrapped before Christmas Eve.

Nolcrest · 11-17-2009, 09:26 PM

Yes, I love sending out cards and I love shopping for cards. I send to family and close friends. As a matter of fact, I have my boxed cards and will probably write them out Thanksgiving weekend. However, this will most likely be the first year that I don't include a family pic.

AKL_Megs · 11-17-2009, 09:27 PM

Yes, mostly because we were married earlier this year and have a great pic from our honeymoon to use in a photo card... but we are only sending them to family and those who attended our wedding, which is about 25 cards.

JerseyJanice · 11-17-2009, 09:30 PM

I really hate doing Christmas cards, so I haven't sent any the past few years, but then I wind up feeling bad for not sending them to people who sent us cards.

I just got an Email from Vistaprint, a web printer we've used at work, showing some really cute cards with custom caricatures of your family. I'm thinking about ordering a package. (And then I'm going to hate having to sign and address them.)

DMickey28 · 11-17-2009, 09:52 PM

YES!! I am so excited because we have moved over 7 times in the last 6 years and now we own our own house. I am excited to send them out and not have to have people chasing down our address year after year.

I am hoping to do a photo card but DS is 2.5 and not as good as sitting for pics as he was at 8 months!! I'd love to do a family pic but it's not in the financial cards right now. Probably next year with the new baby.

DisneyCP2002 · 11-17-2009, 09:55 PM

Being in charge of a christmas card exchange here on the boards I will be sending out at least 25+. Also will be sending out at least another 20+ cards to friends and family.
