If you’re off to Disneyworld, Disneyland, or another theme park, these can make great photo Christmas cards. You know those shots when you’re all in the boat together? Or getting soaked on the tube ride? These are fun moments you can share this Christmas.
I just love the cotton candy and the popcorn and the feel […]

I noticed that in my writings about photo Christmas cards I often focus on the family picture. However, if you’re single, don’t let it stop you from sending out cards. I know from my own experience that most singles don’t do this, but I think it would be a good idea.
I once saw the funniest […]

It may be tempting to show a perfect version of family life where everyone looks their best. Resist this tempation. They have already got enough sickeningly perfect recaps of […]

You can take a picture of the whole family, even the pets!
Are you having a family reunion this summer? Consider taking a picture that you can use for your photo Christmas card.
Think about the group, the more the merrier. I have to say my “pet peeve” is Christmas cards where it’s only the baby or […]

You may choose the default message or the one suggested for your Christmas card, but you don’t have to. Instead, you can inscribe your photo Christmas cards with a unique, personalized message.

Photo Christmas cards are a way to make a difference. Sure, you can buy a regular Christmas card in a boxed set like most people do. However, most of those cards will end up thrown away – more trash for the landfill. A photo Christmas card is more personal than a store bought card, and […]
