Sara you make those of us who haven't even thought about the pics for these cards look bad!  lol

Haha sorry! I just wanted to get them ordered early since I don't know how long they will take to get delivered. I used a company I haven't used before because they had a Groupon, so we'll see.

Ohhhhh!! I'm in sending info now!

Kelly, I'm in! Sending a PM shortly.

Sweet, we are up to 27 people!

Just placed the order for my cards! I'm so excited to see how they turned out!  

I've never ordered cards online before, I hope they turn out good.

Where do you guys go online to get your cards done? And how long does it normally take?

I think I'm going to try walmart this year, but I have an idea of what I want done for the photo, I just have to wait a few weeks for it. Hopefully they can print them in time.

I know Hallmark has a way to upload your photos, choose a card template, write your message and have the cards made and mailed, all through the Web. It can be kind of pricey, though, but the delivery is relatively quick. I'm looking out there and seeing what possibly cheaper yet still efficient options there are!

Last year I got mine from Walmart and they arrived within a week of me ordering them so I was pretty pleased. This year I'm going to attempt to make my own cards and will probably just order prints from Walgreens.

I have used Vistaprint for invites before at a good cost and quick delivery, I was thinking of looking in to them as well, they also often has coupon codes.

Oh, great idea! I'll look into that.

For anyone using Vistaprint, you can get 50% off with this link:  http://www.retailmenot.com/out/2746533

It works on holiday cards and you get free shipping I think. The printing quality is pretty good and if you choose a little faster shipping they take about a week shipped.



I'm actually ordering my cards from mpix.com. Their turnaround is really good but their products are more expensive since they are a professional imaging company/photo lab.

We used Zazzle, had a Groupon for more than 50% off, but their products seem kind of pricey normally. We'll see what the final product looks like. Also, their "customization" was not very user friendly or intuitive.

I've used Vistaprint for a few different things in the past and never been super impressed with the quality. Nothing really wrong, and it's usually the more affordable option, but not my preferred method.

I used Walgreens last year and they turned out decent, i think i paid like $30 for 50 cards. This year I'm using shutterfly w/a promo code I saved $20. Shutterfly is a lot more expensive, the more cards you buy the cheaper the price of each card is.

I hate Zazzle. They used to be SUPER cheap but I find that since they've become a lot more popular they're more expensive now.

I've never used Vistaprint for photo products but have used them for business cards and my shower invitations. The quality was good for it being so cheap but I couldn't judge them on their photo quality.

I took a quick peek this morning at Vistaprint. I like their designs and options for cards and the amount of customization you can do, but I do worry about the quality of the final product. I'll check out CVS and Mpix as well and hope I can make up my mind before cards are due! Thanks for the tips!

I used Vistaprint for my cards last year and they were great! The photo quality was really good and I liked the fact that you could customize almost anything on the card. They were a huge hit with family & friends last Christmas.
