To send Christmas cards with a wedding photo on?
DH and I had a winter wedding this year, and I was wondering whether it would be OK to send a festive card including a photo from our wedding day (unseen as we haven't shared more than two on DH's social media ((I don't do FB or anything)) ) so I thought sending a card with a christmassy wedding photo on to family would be nice or is that a bit 'look at us' and a bit American to do so? I say American as I follow a lot of bloggers and have blogger friends in America and every year I receive a card off them where they have got matching Christmas jumpers on and dressing their dog up lol.
I don't wan to do it if it is seen as being a bit up our own arses, you know? Feedback please , I won't be offended!
Am I being unreasonable?

Some people might disagree but I think that’s a lovely idea! I know I would quite like to get a card like that, it’s more personal and a bit different to the typical robin on a post box cards!!! In reality most cards end up in the recycle bin every Christmas but I think I would keep something like that!

I agree with @PineappleDanish
Pictures in Xmas cards go straight into the bin here.
I don't want random pictures of people's weddings or kids on/in Xmas cards. If people were close enough to you to want wedding pictures, they'd have been at the wedding. If they weren't close enough to be invited to the wedding, they won't want pictures.

@Yummymummy2020 thank you! I came on here as DH said he's not fussed but I wanted to see if it was an OK thing to do. You know what Men can be like 'Up to you shrugs' lol
I know for our wedding Thank you cards we sent them with a photo on the front to just family and everyone has kept them on their fridges!
@P1nkHeartLovesCake I am talking Grandparents, close Aunties who I am in touch with regularly but live a few hours away, and parents. Not Karen who I worked with but never liked lol
@PineappleDanish Don't worry we don't have kids to put on the front of cards just yet

I just realised I accidentally double posted this thread sorry, my internet glitched ! @CAG12 apologies for that.
We have decided we won't send a wedding photo card. Don't want to annoy anyone! Thanks for your feedback, it does help to hear opinions.

It really depends on the relation. I would love to receive a card like this of my brother's or best friend's wedding. Equally, my grandparents, parents, siblings and best friend have been asking me to make sure I send Christmas cards of my DS's first Christmas picture this year so that they can keep the photo in a frame, but just a ordinary friend wouldn't want those pictures.

Xmas cards with family photos on them are VERY normal here in Norway OP. I know a lot of people who do them! I've had one off an Irish friend before as well so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the norm there too. You do you!
I personally am not the keenest to recieve them as I feel obligated to hold onto them forever and feel mildly bad throwing photos of friends' families away. But I know a lot of people love them so have at it!
