Which picture should I use for a Christmas card?

[bdiddy]

I'm a little late this year since we just got back on Sunday but I was hoping to get a good family shot via Photopass. Unfortunately, the ones we had taken at Animal Kingdom Lodge in front of the tree came out terrible! I have an ok one from Hollywood Studios but that one really isn't a consideration.

The two I'm going back and forth between are a picture of the whole family in front of the castle at night when it is all lit up. It's not a bad picture but it isn't great. The background is wonderful of course but my DD's eyes are not looking at the camera. I wish I could post it but haven't bought it from photopass yet.

So that is option #1 - a decent picture of the whole family in front of Cinderella's castle at night

or this one of just the kids....which I thought turned out really nice. DH is a photoshop whiz so I was going to have him take the light out of the background and blur it a little bit...

Ugh! 18 views and not one person can give me an opinion??

It's hard to give an opinion without seeing the other pic, BUT, you say the other one is at night and a darker pic. Personally, I like the one you posted. Kids are in red, so will go great with a card with reds & greens........just something to at least think about? And really, who cares about us moms & dads anyway

The one of your kids that you posted is cute Use it

Hard to tell without anything to compare to but I think the 1 posted is a good one. You can do a Disney themed photo card at walmart.com which would be super cute. They do a great job and are very affordable.

i would go with the one of the kids, it looks cute and they are wearing red so very festive

what about choosing a card that lets you use two pictures? I know walmart, sams club, and I'm sure just about every other company that prints photo cards now offers multiple image cards

The pic you posted of your kids is beautiful. I'd def. go with that one!

Cute pic! I say use that one.

Go with both. I used shutterfly and had options of 1-4 pics and was able to pick them up at target.

I agree with using both if you can. But if the card you like will only take one, I think the pic you posted is cute! - especially as DH knows how to remove the lamp. (Can he also turn the background green? - I'm not a photoshop wizard myself.)
