Every year about this time, I start thinking about what to do with my family photos from the past year. I don’t usually send holiday cards, but now that I have a family, I know everyone wants an update and they love seeing photos of A!
I was really excited when I saw all of Shutterfly’s great options for me to use and share my photos of A and our family this year!!
First of all, there are their wonderful photo Christmas cards! I love that many of them have the option to have several photos! I’m debating between these two called “Glitter Glamour Joy” and “Family Wall Red”
I like the simplicity of the one on the left. For the one on the right, I love that I can use lots of photos and show our family throughout the year. I don’t have a good holiday photo yet to use, but I’m hoping to get one this weekend. If I don’t get a good one of all three of us, I’ll probably go for the one on the left and use a photo of A.
I’m also considering making some calendars to show off my monthly A photo! I’m thinking of putting her 1 month photo for January, when she’ll be a year and 1 month, 2 month photo when she’ll turn a year and 2 months, etc. Won’t it be fun to look back and see how different she looks from a year ago?
Lastly, I realized that I never made a birth announcement for A! I can’t believe it! I really didn’t think about for the first 6 months, and then it seemed too late, but now that she’s turning a year, I’m regretting it, so I’m thinking I should make some, even if they are just for me and my family! Shutterfly has some great birth announcements. I think I have the photo I want to use but I haven’t decided on the card yet. What do you think I should use? I’m debating between the regular announcements, and the holiday themed/colored announcements.
Here are the holiday birth announcements I’m considering.
I think both would look nice with the photo I’m considering using:
I love this photo and have been considering it for her birth announcement since I recently decided that I needed to make one!
I’m used Shutterfly in the past for photos and photo books and have always been happy with their quality!
Are you sending holiday cards? Did you make a birth announcement when your baby was born?
