Ok so I already posted this in the hive but no one has responded and I have to put the order in soon!
Okay, Plain and Simple; Is it weird to use and ultra sound picture with in the pics on your Christmas card? We will have a total of 3 pics on the card. One of all 3 of us (hubs,myself and our son), One of just our son and then the profile pic of our daughter (it does look like a baby! Not like static). But I'm worried its too weird. Is it???
No i think that is a cute idea and I have never seen it done before. A lot of people put a picture of the ultrasound picture on baby shower invites why cant you put it on a christmas card?
I think if you do it tastefully it would be nice. I have received a christmas card before once with an ultrasound picture proving that their baby is a boy, if you get what I mean. I didn't think that was appropriate but I think yours would be fine.
Personally, I would be a bit uneasy, but I'm generally squemish about ultrasounds and bare pregnant bellies, so I may not be the best judge of the general consensus.
Honestly I would probably find that a bit odd. Maybe you could find a way to just write Merry Christmas from the baby on the way without putting the ultrasound picture in?
Yes it's weird. It really creeps me out when people make their ultrasound pic their profile pic on facebook. I think it would make people super uncomfortable to have this on a Christmas card. Maybe you could use a photo of you where you are in profile so the baby bump is clearly visible so the baby is still included somehow?
I guess my answer is two-fold. Personally, I would enjoy seeing the ultrasound. However, among my group of friends there have been several people who have been very vocal about how "gross" and "creepy" ultrasound photos are, and how much they judge people who share the photos around. I find their position bizarre, but it has made me very hesitant to share any of our ultrasounds with anyone! I would hate for you to share it and get some kind of hurtful comment from someone :(
Ultrasound pictures just seem so personal...I wouldn't want to include it on my christmas card. Could you possibly have text on the inside that shares that you are expecting your second child? Maybe do two pictures of your son?
I love those kind of pics, but it would seem weird to find one in a Christmas card especially if I was only a friend of yours.
Maybe just put it in the cards of those for close family members only?
Honestly - I'd find it a bit odd if I received a X-mas card with an ultrasound picture. I vote don't do it.
I would probably think it was a little weird if I received that Christmas card.
In this time of super oversharedness, I vote it's too much. I would be a bit grossed out. Sorry hun.
Ok I guess the vote is no. I mean I personally wouldn't find it weird if it was one of the smaller pics on the card and tasteful. (not showing the sex) BUT the whole reason why I'm even asking is because I know some may find it odd.
I thought about doing a family photo and just having a pink bow tied around my belly...we'll see!
To be honest, I think i'd feel it was weird if I received a card with that on it. Seems really personal! I guess it might be different depending how close I was to you.
I'm sorry but i personally think it's kind of odd. The fact that the baby is still inside of you.. IDK it's kind of too personal. I also don't like when people post pictures of the actual birth and the baby with the umbilical cord still attached and bloody. Sorry I just think there are some things that should be kept private and all of those count.
I have to say...it would be so weird to me. I recently got a baby shower invite that had an ultrasound photo on it and honestly my first thought was "what the hell?". Unless we were REALLY close, it's just TMI IMO.
I'd rather see a picture of the family, everyone happy, mom clearly pregnant. That's more than enough indication of the upcoming baby. But I am also someone who finds ultrasound photos to be personal, and I'm not a fan of them.
What about including a picture of the new crib with a cute stuffed animal, like baby's first toy?
I think it is weird. Sorry but no one is as excited about ultasound parents as you (the parents) are. Even if you say it looks like a baby...every single one always looks like black and white blobs to me. One or two photos of your family--the portion that is out of the womb-- is more than enough. I don't think a copy of a medical image screams "Merry Christmas" in a tasteful, effective way.
The pink ribbon around the belly sounds cute! Is there any other ways you can think to announce your daughter?
I love looking at US pictures but I agree, its a bit odd on a christmas card.
Totally weird. If we got it, it would not be something I'd put on the fridge for everyone that comes over during the holidays to see. Way too personal.
Agreed, I think a bump photo would be cuter and more comfortable for most folks!
You could hold up a sign that says "and baby-to-be makes 4!" or however big your family is. Or "coming soon in April 2011" with an arrow pointing to your belly.
I'd go for cute and fun any day
@MissFlipFlops: I think that the bump/pink ribbon picture would be a really nice way of incorporating the new addition into the card with out making those who are squeamish about US pictures uncomfortable.
Congratulations by the way!
I vote for NO. Of course to close family (parents and sibs, not cousins) I think it would be okay.
Personally I don't really like receiving more than one picture from friends, and I really don't like just getting pics of a couple, I understand if there's a child or new cute pet but really I'm not going to keep their pic and hang it on my fridge so it seems like a waste. I prefer either a pic of just the kids (to see how they've grown) or a pic of the whole family...but any more than that...what am I going to do with them?
I'd say send the group shot and include your son's photo and your ultrasound only in your parents and sibling's cards (unless you have a very close friend or two who would like to receive these).
@MissFlipFlops: I think the ultrasound would be ... strange... but the family pic + pink bow idea would be much cuter! a good way to include your baby with your family tastefully :)
I think its a very odd and Im all for cute things. If you think about it, its a picture of your uterus. Maybe take a picture of your hands in the shape of a heart over your belly and zoom in or crop so its just that.
I love the idea of the pink bow in the family picture! That would be too cute!
@ejs4y8: That's a really cute idea! I'm nowhere near pregnant, but that's a great idea for somebody who is!
I also think it's odd. Maybe you can have a picture of your son holding a sign saying "I'm going to be a big brother!" to get your message across.
Do the baby bump, but fully clothed. I love bare-skinned pregnancy shots, but not everyone receiving your card is likely to appreciate it.
BTW, I didn't know so many people were weirded out by ultrasound pics til reading about it here! Never would have thought.
