    So i had one already and didnt end up ordering them as it would take to long (I didnt know the company was int he states :)

    So basically I have the same card now but dont know what pic to put in it

     Here are the pics im trying to decide between

     

    I like the one of just DH and I as...well...the card is from US (also not to crazy about the couple one as i feel my boobs are huge in it *laugh*)

     

    But i also really really like the group one!

     

    The wedding was 4 months ago as well. Is it weird to be sending out a wedding xmas card (we gave thank you cards that had a loosed 4x5 pic of us in it)

     

    Thoughts?

    If you will be sending it to anyone who wasn't at the wedding, you definitely can't use the group picture. Either way, I like the couple picture.

    I personally am not a fan of the wedding photo card so long after the wedding but lots of people will disagree with me on that one so you should do if it's what you want.

    Of the pictures you gave I would use the group one.  In the couple shot your husband has a very intense/serious face so I feel like it's not a good one for a Christmas card, which should be jolly : )

    @Jacqi: I actualyl had never though of that and then the other day my husband was like "Its kind of like the whole group is saying Merry Christmas" and then i became hesitant.....

    In theory I think you should use a couple photo BUT I don't care for the picture you chose (after you mentioned the boobs its all I can see).

    I like the couple picture because it's a card from you and your husband...not you and your wedding guests. I think that you can send a card with your wedding pic on it the year you get married...it would only be weird if you did it after you'd been married over a year!

    I'd prefer the wedding pic to the engagment pics - maybe because it has the red wall which reads more "Holiday" to me. Plus it makes sense to send a wedding pic (like "Look what we did this year") rather than just a nice pic of the two of you.

    i like the idea of using some of the engagement photos. it's less formal than your wedding attire, but still is you too. the photos are great and you look really happy and i think it'd be appropriate to spread that happiness for the holidays. i really like the fun, lighthearted picture of you guys jumping off the log with the balloon. You could think of something clever to say for the holidays with it.

    I'm not a fan of the group card because the card is from you, and not you and your whole family.
