Are personalised Christmas cards (the ones with a photo of your family on) cute or corny?

Sep 25, 2011 by Craft Christmas

We have a 1 year old & I just want to show everyone (family etc) what he looks like now. So shall we do personalised Christmas cards with a photo of the three of us, or should I just include a photo in the cards?

    With toddlers/newborns, personalized Christmas cards are cute. I advise you to try the personalized card and see how it goes.

    I like the family pic, BUT if u go the way of just including a picture n the card dont have the baby (or all of you) dressed in holiday type clothes/background. That way if u find someone else to give a picture too after Christmas it wont look tacky.

    Personally I think it’s corny. I also think that the photos where you all dress up and dress the baby in a little suit or dress are corny as well.

    I’m a parent as well, so I can make a reasonable guess that you have about 17 million pictures of the baby. Many of them will also have one or both parents in the picture. Find one that you like, where everyone is acting normal, not posing. Those kinds of pictures have genuine emotion behind them and are something a little more personal to give to your family and friends.

    Include a photo with the card. That way, they can keep the photo if they want…Christmas cards usually get tossed after the holidays.

    I like getting those. It’s fun to see how people have changed. It’s better than the letter some people send out.

    I depends on if I like you and talk to you on a regular basic than its cute, but if I don’t know you that well and don’t care that much about you then ir corny.

    I really enjoy receiving photo cards, but I prefer candid shots. Not only are they cute and funny, but they show the personalities.

    Great idea. Family needs photos of loved ones.

    Try going to hobby lobby and picking up a med size tin box, with a hole in the lid that a picture would slide into.

    Than bake a batch of homemade cookies nad line the tins with wax paper and fill it up with your cooled cookies.

    Cookies in a cute box with your baby’s picture on top.

    Great.

    My preference would be to include a picture with a card. That way if people want to put the picture in a frame or something like that, it will be nicer, and I think it will also be more likely to be kept.

    I always add a letter for friends and family I haven’t seen for ages, and put a recent photo of us all on the letter that I put in the card. If you are good at making cards then I say go for it.

    i think you should do a christmas card with the photo on it of you and your family.

    Corny, just give out photos. Most people throw those types of Christmas cards out anyways.

    The personalized cards are great! Just stay away from the Christmas form letter, and remember to sign each of the cards and write at least on personal line on each one.

    I think they’re adorable! My kids are 17 & 19, & we still send one out ever year. Go to vistaprint.com to order your cards. They’re very cheap, & they do a great job!
