Wow I'm behind on holiday card
Don't even have a photo yet or picked out a design or know where I'm ordering. I guess everyone else has these things already lol.
Do you do pro pics or one of your own photos? What company is cheapest to get them printed?

Re: Wow I'm behind on holiday card
You're not behind at all, I don't have pics yet either. This year I am paying to have them done, I usually do not though. We're going next week and they are suppose to have the proofs within 10 days so I am hoping to get my cards ordered and mailed out no later than the 3rd week in December.
ETA - I got the Groupon deal a few weeks ago for Photo Affections. I used them the last 2 yrs and I've been VERY happy with how they turned out!! Really nice printing and card choices.

Wow I'm behind on holiday card
We did the Santa experience this year but usually do JCP with a Groupon the first week of Nov. I have used photoaffections through LivingSocial and Ebates for the past couple of years. I'm so in love with my cards this year.

How long did it take you to get your santa experience pictures back?

Re: Wow I'm behind on holiday card
First year doing pro pics. I always just took my own in the past.
I have used Tiny Prints and Shutterfly for cards in the past. This year I tried Simply to Impress and omg they are amazing. The quality is great. The card stock is super heavy too.

Wow I'm behind on holiday card
I did pro pics about 2 weeks ago. I booked it very last minute and really lucked out with finding a photographer available. I just went on simply to impress and tiny prints to see what they have but I'm gonna wait till Black Friday to order with hopes that they have a good sale going on.

Re: Wow I'm behind on holiday card
Maybe this weekend I'll go over the pics with DH and get some cards ordered.
Since we don't have children, we use vacation pics and pics of our fur baby.
There's a nice selfie we took at the ZBB concert, and another at the FGL concert that are in the running for this year.
Last two years I kept tally of the cards I received, so this year my list got a whole lot smaller.

Re: Wow I'm behind on holiday card
Every year I do professional pics. Its so expensive and it's almost awhole day. This year I did a Groupon to target portraits and had ordered cards from them. I took my oldest out of school early and did a middle of the day and week appointment and no one was there. I did the more expensive stock cards from them and they came out great. Best is for 60 cards and some prints it cost me less than $70 dollars. Cards took 6 days to come in.

Wow I'm behind on holiday card
I have one picked out but, I'm hoping to get another picture. We are using a lot of pictures from our Disney vacation - so they are done by professional photographers this year but, typically I just use a few of my own.
I found every time I tried to do a professional shoot someone didn't cooperate and I didn't love my pictures.

Wow I'm behind on holiday card
I'm trying pro pics at target this year. We've only ever taken our own pics but this year I wasn't thrilled with any of the ones I got and I have no desire to try again. Hoping dh doesn't kill me lol. I bought the Groupon which was very reasonable and hopefully they get at least one pic I love.

Wow I'm behind on holiday card
We cut down our own Christmas tree so we take pictures when we go do that and they have a Santa there. We are not going till December 3 so I won't have our picture(s) till then. Normally just print cards out at CVS the next day. Im sure we could print them for cheaper else where but its convenient for us.

Re: Wow I'm behind on holiday card
We took pro pics but still waiting to receive them, so no orders have been placed yet. We usually use Tiny Prints which isn't the cheapest, but I find the quality is good and they have lots of coupons floating around this time of year. I also like that I have an address book saved to my account so if I have the auto-mail thing send out all my holiday cards for me, it's easy because the info is already there.

I am so glad to hear that! I usually just order from shutterfly or minted(which I looove) but I went with Simply to Impress instead for the first time. They should be here by tomorrow. Can't wait to see them!
We usually take our own holiday pics.

I bought a Groupon for Target Photos that includes holiday cards. My appointment is in December. As long as I get the cards out mid December I'm happy. Check Groupon to see what deals they have now.

Re: Wow I'm behind on holiday card
I was behind this year too! Normally they're all ready to go in the mail on Wed! 
I ran out on Saturday took some pictures and used the Zazzle Groupon - ordered and should have this week.
I always take my own pictures...they come out great. I've used Zazzle through Groupon for the past 4 or 5 years. I love them and prefer them - great quality cardstock and very inexpensive!
