Christmas Cards

^^^Yes...unless you know someone who will let you use their number. I'll admit I bum off my mom.

Oops cross post.

Costco does require a membership. So you either have one or you know someone who has one that can do it for you. I've gone with my Mom before and given her cash for something I wanted her to pick up for me. I didn't want to pay for the membership as we don't shop there enough.

I checked on the Costco prices for what my friend did for her wedding. She actually got 200 invitations with matching envelopes for $48 and she made them herself using Microsoft Publisher from her engagement photos a friend took for her. I remember she cut and pasted to the backside construction paper though because she was doing it at work and ran out of glue sticks. She did a lot of none work tasks while at work when her wedding was coming to save time.

Here is the story we did on it. Link You can see what her invitations looked like at the 3 minute mark in the video. It was a sweeps package on local brides affording their own beautiful princess wedding on a budget leading up to the big expensive royal wedding this year.

There's another Vistaprint one today: $15 for $60. It's good until January, and the fine print says "Not valid for CT, IL, NC, NY, or non-US addresses."

There is a Groupon today for Christmas cards on Shutterfly - $40 for 40 cards, apparently that is half off. I won't be using it, as I send way more than 40 cards and $1/card before postage is a little pricey.

Seemed on the pricy side to me, too

They have some pretty nice photo cards at Costco. They're the kind you still need to insert a photo into the main card, but they're quite nice and reasonably priced. A pack of 40 sells for $16.79.

We design our own and put it on the blank one, prices are fantastic.

Got the list today! I'm so excited! I was touching up my Christmas card and picking labels out early this morning. Then I made the rounds asking for updates on addresses from friends and family. I'm hoping to get this finished early this year!

We use tinyprints.com
We used them for our birth announcements for M and for Christmas last year. We only send the cards with a family update letter (about how wonderfully boring our lives are!) to about 30 friends and family in Germany and Chicago, because it gets expensive...

I found two deals today from one of the blogs that get my coupons and sale shopping tips from. The first deal is for 10 free cards from Staples and the second is for a company called Ink Garden. I saw that you can get 20 photo cards for $1 plus shipping ($3.99) - so you could get them for around $0.25 each.

I've never ordered from Ink Garden so I can't speak to the quality but I'm going to order mine tonight since I'm at work and don't have access to the photo that I want to use for our card. I thinkthat I'm going to piecemeal our order this year to take advantage of the sales.

[samssugarmomma]

I did the Ink Garden promotion. My prints shipped yesterday. Yay!
