Photo Christmas cards

[gallicgirl]

Seeing as it's DD's first Christmas, we'd like to sent twee cute Christmas cards featuring a picture of our PFB in a ridiculous Christmas outfit. She has fat cheeks so it would be a shame to waste the opportunity for future embarrassment.

Anyway, can anyone suggest any good websites that produce the cards for you? We'd probably only need 50 or so but don't want to pay a fortune. I checked snapfish but they would work out around £50 for 50 cards.

TIA

I've found Bonusprint to be cheap in the past but that was postcards. I'm watching with interest as I want to do the same and have DS's reindeer suit all ready to go.

Whoever you go with make sure you check on a voucher code website for a discount code before you order. I saved 50% last time.

also interested in this and has anyone seen a nice Christmas pudding outfit? :)

Vista print doing 30 for price 10 bout £7 BUT post is slow or expensive (ie if you're happy to wait 21 day opt is cheaper) so prob only worth it if you're sucked into their other options you're buying other things tat like me perfect for pfb embarrassment, my lucky friends will also see ds Santa as a magnet haha
Puddings- sainos
Hoho

Ps primarni selling the Christmas cards you put photos in for £1.50 8pk

Well I took a wal; to my local craft shop and they do a pack of 50 cards and envelopes for around £7 and they sell lots of little sparkly shiny tat embellishments to make my cards sparkle like a magpie's handbag. What's more, they are having a card making demonstration next Saturday so I might give that a go......presuming DD remembers how to sleep in the meantime so I get a little peace to work on my masterpieces.

walk. Doh.

oh, newchoos, Sainsbury's have a Christmas pudding outfit and they have 25% off until Monday.

Please post a pic of your dressed up DD, I love to see a fat cheeked baby!!

Oooh thanks, will try and head to one soon ish.

Snapfish are quite good, not used them for cards but their posters are lovely!

I've been (ridiculously) organised this year and have already had mine printed (there's a photo on my profile if you're as nosey as I am). I got them done through photobox, which again is a little on the expensive side. However I got them when they were doing a 50% off flash sale on everything. They've done this twice in the last few months and I'm keeping my fingers crossed they will do another before Christmas. If you "like" their facebook page they announce it on there. It usually happens on a Friday. I will try and remember to post on here if they announce another one soon.

If your going down that route, have a look at the moo.com website. You can get 90 little stickers for less than a fiver.

I'm thinking of getting some of these done of ds1 and ds2's faces while they are wearing Santa hats or antlers or something Christmasy. Then stamping an Xmas tree or sleigh or snowman bodies onto the blank cards and putting stickers of the boys faces on as baubles/ passengers/ heads etc. Haven't finalised the design yet as you can tell bit think the idea holds promise as an easy way of doing their faces on a fun card.

And because of the way they do their stickers you can put a different picture on each sticker if you want.

There's also a company called something like that sells (as well as blanks) some shrinky paper that you can print and then stick in the oven to shrink down. I thought I'd use similar head shots to make baubles to go on the Xmas tree (maybe with a cartoon body and something to say which year it is) and make some for the grannies as well.

Chirpchirp those are beautiful photos! I may have to steal the idea and see what I can do myself at home.

Have another look at snapfish, there are much cheaper ones than that, note cards rather than greetings cards sold on multi packs are the cheapest option I think. The quality is still really good. There's a half price offer atm I think

Thanks AndiMac, I just set this up on my bed with fairy lights, blankets and a sheepskin rug. Don't use a flash and have some extra lights (nice and low) on either side of the bed. Good luck.

We're taking my DS to Max Spielman (its £5 for a basic package or £5 for a cd) then we were going to go to Costco but actually these sound a lot cheaper - thanks for the thread Gallic!
