What do you do with all the picture birth announcemnts and holiday photo cards you recieve in the mail from friends and family?

I currently have a huge stack in my dresser drawer. I think I'm going to buy a photo album for them all. Do you keep all your photo cards, what do you do with them all?

unless its immediate family (niece, nephews, little cousins) they get tossed after a month. I would be up to my eyelids if I kept everycard.

I keep all of the photo holiday cards, cut them down and put them in a red photo album and put it out when I decorate for Christmas. It's cool to see the progression of all of the kiddies through the years!

The announcements...uhhh....yeah...Chat Icon

I save them in a big photo box; I'm a sap! Chat Icon

I like the idea of putting the holiday ones in an album and putting them out at Christmas -- good idea!

I throw them out. I always assumed everyone is throwing mine out also until this past week when we saw DH's aunt & uncle had them hanging in their house - every single year.Chat Icon

Cut out the photos and arrange them on those fabric boards with the ribbon. They're hanging in our play room.

I keep them all...my aunt had it where her girls are in their teens and save all the holiday cards and it is so nice to see after the kids are grown
I started mine 2 years ago and LOVE it..it goes in a big photo album and I cut the kids out since it takes up so much room...I bring it out around thanksgiving and people love it...I also save all the birth announcements from the year and put it in the back of the book.

hey that's a good idea!!!

i bought a photo album with the peel back paper and i shove them in there. i feel bad throwing pictures out. i wouldn't want someone throwing my cards out that i spent so much time and money on. but i am realistic and i do understand there are soooo many. but i really think that photo album at Christmas is a great idea!!!

I used to keep them all but then everyone and their uncle started sending photo cards for Christmas so I only keep our siblings. I'd like to eventually get a nice album/scrapbook to keep them in and bring out each Holiday.

Birth announcements I only keep for immediate family as well.

I feel so badly tossing them, but I do. Chat Icon

I sent out birth announcements eight months ago and I visit friends and see it on their fridge or propped up on a bookcase and my heart could just burst.

I think I am going to start to save them. A shoebox doesn't take up much room.
