We got married at the end of September last year, so we managed to get our Thank You cards (with a photo) out by Christmas. Since it was so close to Christmas anyway, we didn't bother to send out a holiday one.
This year, we probably won't send a holiday card either since we're expecting and I'm due Christmas Eve- so, God willing, we'll be sending out a birth announcement.
No, I thought about doing that but I felt weird sending a picture of us when it didnt have anything to do with Chrstmas. Ive seen it done though. We're sending out Christmas cards with a photo, but not wedding photo. Our Thank You cards from the wedding were photo cards with a wedding pic
We are going to use our engagement pics for our Christmas photo! I don't think I would use a wedding photo though just because our wedding will be in Aug so I think that is a little too far away!
We are! I just got them in the mail the other day. We did some shots with a big bouquet of balloons and for our Christmas cards I chose a goofy one where it looks like my husband is flying off with them. :)
I find a vellum card that you slip a photo into, so they can have the photo separate from the card...it was on clearance at Hobby Lobby last year, but I bet they have something similar again...very cute!
We did last year! Shoot, we figured it was probably the only time we could do it and it was one of the nicest pictures we had of us from the year.
I'm not married yet, but I think we're going to do photo thank you cards and then probably some sort of dorky funny christmas card picture next year!
We are. We always do the photo card thing at Chistmas anyway, so a wedding one this year is perfectly fitting!
We were just talking about this the other day. We've never sent Christmas cards together before, but we were wondering if we might do this, so that we could include a wwedding photo.
If I have anything to do with it, we will! I know my folks photo Christmas card will be a family portrait from the wedding, but I'm hoping we'll do one too.
I've thought about it also, but wasn't sure how it would look, especially with our fall colors of orange and brown on a christmas card!! Maybe I'll just send a few family members and friends a picture with their christmas card!
@stormy--there's cards with brown and red on Shutterfly, check them out! I used them for one of our engagement pic head shots that had fall color in the background.
I don't see why it would be a problem. I had a friend do it last year and they got married at the beginning of June. My FSIL also got married this last June and my FMIL is using a family picture from the wedding as the picture for her Christmas cards.
I was married October 24th and hopefully if I get pictures back soon I'd love to do a Christmas card with our favorite wedding picture on it! H has a friend who was married a couple years ago and they sent a Christmas card with their wedding picture on it! I liked it. AND I agree that it will probably be the best picture of us we'll ever have! =)
We are! I just got the proof and it looks amazing! We had a destination wedding and not a lot of people were invited or could attend, so I figured this would be a great way to spread the word that we're married and share a couple of our favorite pictures.
We were thinking of doing this, but then had second thoughts because people were so mean about our wedding. We're just going to send our New Year's cards without photos. We always send New Year's cards instead of Christmas cards because we prefer a non-religious option.
@cheerful - What do you mean that people were mean? That's terrible. I hope that doesn't stop you from enjoying your pictures and sharing them with your loved ones.
@missomally It's kind of a long story, but people resent us for eloping after we tried to throw a 60 person wedding for them - a wedding they complained bitterly about and did nothing to help us with. We eloped for us with four friends and had a lovely black-tie day of it. Afterwards, we sent out wedding announcements and (I'm sorry to say) predictably, they are mad at us. It's not just hurt feelings and feeling left out of our wedding. We have been called names, yelled at, and received precious few emailed congratulations. My husband's mother told us it hurt her to look at our wedding photos, so I'm thinking it's probably not the best idea to put one in a Christmas card!
And yes, thank you, we are enjoying our wedding photos very much! I'm putting together an album for his grandparents and one for my godmother.
Mrs. Mascara just posted a poll on the blog to help her pick theirs (here)
I think it's a great idea and have a feeling we'll be doing that Dec 2010! :)
Honestly (and I'm not trying to be rude)I recieved a christmas card with a wedding photo on it and was like really? It seemed random to stick a wedding picture on a christmas card. The couple who sent one to us are very self centered and everything that doesn't revolve around them revolves around their wedding. Maybe I didn't like it because they are annoying but.....
I do like it when thanks have a photo in it :)
@semanthia I feel like Christmas cards are a good time to recap the important events of the year. I don't know if sending a photo card of your wedding is any less self centered than a photo card of you posing for a Christmas card shot.
I like Photo Christmas Cards and think they are a great way to remember the year. It would be fun for friends and family to look back over the years and see the progression of your photo cards from newlyweds to parents and beyond. Some of my favorite photo cards are here: http://www.cardsdirect.com/photo-christmas-cards.aspx
I love that you can personalize the front, both of the interior sides, and even the back!
