I think they CAN be tacky, but they usually arent...I'm not so in love with those ones that walmart/grocery stores will make you (you know, with a photo, and an extra white part that says "happy holidays" or whatever)...I like ones where people have added a photo to a card, or made the cards themselves (a simple paste onto a blank card is even nice!!!) I'm more inclined to keep a card if it includes a photo. Plus, I love seeing couples/kids grow up year to year!
I wont send christmas cards till I'm married, but when I do, they will probably include a photo, if not on the card, in the card.
My family has been sending them out for years and I always cringed as a child over the photo that my mother picked. BUT -- it is a guilty pleasure of mine to check out other people's photos - see how people are growing up and what not. Still, i think you should choose between sending out a photo card and a letter, do not do both! that is what I think would be tacky.
I like them! We are not organized enough to send them ourselves, but I enjoy seeing the updated photos each year.
we did a photo card last year with our engagement photos and made one this year (first year married) with a wedding photo. not sure what we'll do moving forward.
I agree, photo cards for special occasions is definitely appropriate and a fun way to share your family/personal developments. Doing it every year can get tedious - some years you/your kids just aren't photogenic! Everyone remembers those awkward years of childhood..not sure I want to put my kids through that in mass mailed photos.

Just wondering... does anyone else send out Christmas photo cards? Just wondering how tacky, hip, common or anything else it may be to send out a photo card of me & DH in front of a Christmas tree for our 1st Christmas. I know I started getting these from friends once they had children.
