Holiday Photo Cards

Christmas cards that contain photos are very popular. While the tradition of sending cards for the holidays has waned, many still enjoy seeing photos of your family and how they have grown over the years. Especially for those families that are separated by large distances and those you don't get to see as often as you would like. Sending a photo Christmas card is sending a small part of yourself to them and allowing them to see you and your family members.

Your options for creating a photo card are vast. They range from your local Walmart or drug store to a professional photographer to online options. Listed below are a variety of online options for you to design and order your cards.

My favorite place to order printing from. They offer 4 x 8 cards as well as folded cards. You can choose from foil cards and collage cards as well as Holiday Letter designs. VistaPrint will send you a ton of emails once you are in their database but it is really worth it because the offers for free printing are worth it.

A lot of options and a vast price range from PhotoWorks, an American Greetings Company.

This year you many want to consider ordering 4 x 6 postcards. The cost of mailing is less and will save you a lot if your list is large. You can still create a wonderful card with photos and even include a small Christmas letter on the back side while saving money on paper, printing, the lack of an envelope and finally on postage.
