Stamp with family signatures on

[tutu112]

I'm fed up of chasing the family down to sign Christmas cards/ birthday cards/ thankyou notes. I've just had an idea to get a stamp with all our signatures on. Has anyone else done this, or found a better solution? If you've got a stamp, where did you get it from? I really like the idea of sending cards, but God, the pain of getting the kids to sign them! I'd really like one stamp, that says something like "with love from the Tutu112 Family" then all our signatures on. Stamp, job done! What do you reckon? Am I deluded that this could work?

You could order a stamp from Vistaprint, for example.

It seems a bit impersonal, especially for thank you notes - someone has gone to the effort of buying a present and your child can't spare the ten minutes or so it would take to sign a stack of cards.

Get your own cards printed with all your names types inside. I don't know why I think a stamp is impersonal but a computer printed card isn't

I don't understand what the point is? If you're sending a card it's supposed to be from the person who has signed it. If you're stamping on their behalf then it takes all meaning away. If your family can't be bothered to write their own comment then just send from you alone.

A woman I know puts stickers in cards.

At Christmas she has them with funny poems, then 'Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year, love XY&Z'

The children don’t need to sign all your cards. Think about the people who would be disappointed if they didn’t (grandparents definitely but maybe no-one else). They need the actual signatures, not a stamp. Everyone else, you can just write the children’s names yourself.

That's so impersonal and rude .
No one expects a signature from every family member by the way , just sign " the tutu family xxx" .

Or forge their signatures

Hmmm, I think you're right, thinking it through. It IS impersonal if the kids don't actually take the time to write and sign letters and cards that have meaning. Going to stick with the old fashioned way then, I think. No stamps required. Thanks.

I was browsing groupon earlier and saw these;

A nice little addition to thank you note/Christmas cards and then get the kiddies to quickly sign, definitely more personal x

I know someone who has a stamp, they send lots of cards and have a health issue which makes writing a bit painful - they still write the recipient's name at the top but the message and signature are stamped which reduces the overall amount of writing.
