The holidays are right around the corner and I could not be more excited to start planning our annual Christmas cards. I've learned that you will find alot of deals on holiday cards now, and it really simplifies the process, and it's just one less thing you have to worry about doing this holiday season. Below I’m sharing my favorite tips for selecting the perfect holiday card.
Photo 
Prior to know to select the perfect card. I narrow down my sections with the photo. I typically send two different cards out per year. One that’s more romantic, and another one that’s fun. I create a file on your phone and/or computer for potential photos throughout the year. This makes the search for the perfect photo so much easier. 
Matching 
When selecting the perfect card. I always narrow my search around the photo. I wouldn’t select an orange card if everyone in the photo is wearing neon pink. I would go with a black theme or a theme that really brings out the photo and color my family is wearing.
Sending
It’s so important to know when to order and send your cards. The sooner is always better. Don’t wait until the last minute to order your cards. You can always order more if needed or even opt to send out a second round of cards in a different design. I typically send my cards out the week after Thanksgiving. Alot of sites now offer the option to buy now and personalize later.
No photo Let’s face it, sometimes it’s so hard to find the perfect photo, or maybe you just want to send a non-photo card this year. Their are tons of no photo card options. I love using the non-photo cards to include the kiddos school photo for friends and family.

The holidays are right around the corner and I could not be more excited to start planning our annual Christmas cards. Of course, I’m going to utilize my favorite site Minted.com. They have so many new cards this year. I tend to send out two different options because they have so many to choose from. Below I’m sharing my favorite tips for selecting the perfect holiday card.

OK, so usually every year I collect family photos throughout the year and towards the end of October I select a few to add to our family Holiday card(s). This year I found this amazing deal on holiday cards. However, for some reason the resolution of the pictures I had on hand was low quality (I’m not sure what I did wrong while saving them.) The plan was to look on my computer to find the original picture. I only had one day left for the sale and I totally forgot all about it (Of course until the next day). I could have sent out regular holiday cards however “time got the best of me” I may send out a family newsletter instead (Just giving everyone an overall update). So yes, I forgot to order the cards, thus leaving us with no holiday cards this year. I know we still have time, however I'm thinking of an alternative for this year.  



Did you send out holiday cards this year? 

Thanks For Stopping By!
