... Read moreHoliday cards are a wonderful way to connect with loved ones during festive seasons. They provide an opportunity to share cherished memories and updates about your family over the past year. Many families opt for professional photo shoots to capture the perfect holiday image, while others prefer using candid snapshots that reflect their family's personality. When designing your holiday cards, consider the various platforms that offer customizable templates, allowing you to incorporate personal touches. Websites like Canva and Vistaprint offer easy-to-use tools for creating stunning designs, while local print shops may offer personalized service for a unique touch. Additionally, integrating elements of the current season, such as winter themes or festive colors, can enhance the card's visual appeal. Don't forget to add a heartfelt message inside the card; this can make a significant impact on the receiver. Some families even include a family update letter to keep loved ones informed on important milestones and events. Holiday cards are not just about sending greetings; they represent family traditions that can be cherished for years to come. The act of sending and receiving these cards can strengthen family bonds and create lasting memories.

we send out cards but not the kind with our family's picture. Just the plain old greeting card kind. I think it saves us a little money in the long run.

we send them electronically!! we didn’t take them until i found out i was pregnant. so now that we have children, we make sure to put something together so we can have pictures to send to our family and friends!

My Photoshopped Family Holiday Cards
For the past 10 years, I've dressed up as each family member, gone to the location, taken photos of them, and then photoshopped them all together to create one weird family. I then send them out as my holiday card each year. #familychristmasphotos #christmas #holidaycards #christmascard
