    I need help figuring out what to send for Christmas.

    Option 1:  Flat 5 x 7 card - 1 photo.  Front has picture, back has wording and space I can write a personal note

    Option 2:  Folded 5 x 7 card.  Outside will have 1 photo, inside will have 3 small photos, back will have 1 photo.  Lots of room for personal note inside the card.

    With the flat card - it's a tiny bit cheaper.  I don't really like the idea of only having the back to write on - and I typically don't like receiving flat cards because they are hard to display.

    With the folded card - I like the idea of a folded card, although, with the 3 pictures on the inside, I'm wondering if it's picture overkill (since it's just me and DH).  I guess picture overkill is really my main reason for shying away from this option.  The 3 on the inside are on the flap - so they aren't very big (one is of us dipping/kissing, one is of us sitting, and the other is of us kind if dancing/kissing). -The one on the back will be of our shoes.  All are pretty artsy (taken by a professional photographer friend).

    The price for the flat is slightly less - not enough for price to be a consideration.

    So - please, weight in!  Should I do the flat and one picture?  Or go for photo overkill???

    It really sounds like you like the folded option the best. If you are worried about photo overkill you could always add in more holiday themed pictures (like a wreath, or candles, etc.) to balance the pictures of you. Good luck! Bet they'll turn out great :-)

    I agree with @dansypants508: about the holiday pics on the inside - I did pic cards this year but just the one pic on the front since it's just DH and I (through Vistaprint - I am SO EXCITED about them). I hate flat cards because I can't stand them up to display them.
