One step even better we have upgraded to since Dec of 2007.
Take a family photo one of your own doing. We set the camera up and use a timer. Upload the photo to your computer , Insert into one of the many available frame type e-cards. Use your typed holiday greeting letter that updates all family and added bonus , Hubby knows also how to let everyone sign it so our names show up as if we are signing the card right in front of you! How cool is that and no postage!!!!

Here is a slightly different approach…

We search all the pictures of the year. We pick 12 of the kids and print out a homemade calendars for our family. In the calendar we take the time to note everyone’s birthday, anniversary and other special events.

We print them at home and then take them to a Kinko’s/Fedex store to have them bound.

In each one we write a personal note to recognize how special each family member is to us.

These serve as not only Christmas cards but they have also become a traditional gift that lets grandma and grandpa see the kids as they have grown instead of just a once-a-year snapshot.

I bought photo insert cards from Current at an after-Christmas sale last January. The plan has been to use some of the free/special offer deals on photo prints from the various online photo sites to print a photo taken on my digital camera. (I say the plan, because I haven’t actually done it yet. It’s on the list!)

I love this frugal tip! Not just because you can save money but because it has to be such a FUN family event taking the family picture! I can’t wait to do that when I have my own family :)

I did want to share a frugal tip with you – with the economy right now, it can be really difficult to continue to give to our favorite charities, and during the holidays that’s a big part of the holiday cheer, so here’s a post on how you can do both :) http://www.ebillme.com/tips/mo.....omic-times

Seriously? I hadn’t heard of that, but I haven’t really researched it either. I’ve ordered from Vista Print several times, and I’ve never had a problem.

Great idea for saving a ton of money on sending pictures of the family to one’s friends and relatives. You can even upload the family pictures online and send them off as an email greeting card to everyone on your email address book. I think this would save you even more money on stamps and envelopes.

I always buy my Christmas cards the week or so after Christmas when everything is on 50%-75% off. That’s when I pick up my Christmas wrapping paper too. Instead of printing and sending pictures out to everyone, I upload them to my flickr.com account and give the password in the letter. That way everyone can LOOK at the pictures and the family that want hard copies can print them off and everyone else isn’t stuck with adding to the stack of misc old pictures we all hate to throw out.
