Planning for Holiday Cards | Shutterfly 2011 Holiday Card Collection

Six years ago this December, my husband and I celebrated our first Christmas as parents. We were so excited to send out a photo Christmas card to introduce our new little bundle to our friends and family. That year started our tradition of sending out a photo card to our close family and friends. We chose Shutterfly to order those first photo cards and have since ordered them several times. We have also ordered regular photo prints from Shutterfly.

I have always been impressed by their quality and their design selection. This year, I’m trying to be more organized and order my photo cards early in the season. One year, we were very late in ordering cards and bought Happy New Year cards instead of Merry Christmas cards.

This year, I’m going back and forth between a couple of designs for our photo cards. I like Merry & Bright (not my family in photo)

But I also like Naughty or Nice (again, not my family)
