A holiday card and STD all in one :) (That is a Save The Date, if you didn't know ;))

So as I am approaching the holidays this year.... I have been thinking a lot about Christmas cards and Save The Date cards....at first I was not going to do either...too expensive and I just didn't want to invest the time in them. Then I ran across my friends' blog that talked about Shutterfly giving away 50 free**** holiday cards and so I signed up for it!! I was so excited from then on out....and Nate and I had our engagement pictures shot this past weekend so I figured why not go ahead and make our holiday cards our "Save The Dates" :) So below are the cards that I have chosen to use....now I am not set on each one yet especially pending the picture or pictures I want to use. :) But I would appreciate your thoughts!

Here is where all of the following cards can be found:
I was thinking this would be a GREAT idea for thank you cards after the wedding....or maybe even before using engagement pictures maybe!!! :)
This one I love too....I love the simplicity and just plain jane of it but classy....right up my alley! :)
Now here are all the Christmas/New Years/ Happy Holiday Cards that I love....they can be found here: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery
I love this one....I like it because you can write a little bit about yourself on it...and in my case about our wedding date! :)

I think this one is adorable too!!


I think this is one I would get after I have kids....I think it's the perfect opportunity to share with all your family and friends about what all is going on with your kiddos! :)


Here are the actual cards that have places where you can write on the inside....these may be more practical for my use of the Save the Date card :)
I love this one!! I just think it is adorable....I think I love the picture already on it though.... :)

I love LOVE LOVE this one....I think I will have a hard time deciding which pictures to use so maybe this will help if I can use more than one!!

I also love this one....looks like the people in the picture had the same idea :)

I also think this is just adorable! I love the colors and I love all the picture spaces! I will definitely be looking into this one!

Here are all the just regular photo cards that most people send out:

I love this one! I think if I have one specific picture that just pops out at me I may have to go with this one! It is just perfect and I love it!


I love the simplicity of this one! One picture says it all!



This one I really like too! I think it would be a great 1st Christmas after being married card....just simply and classic!

And this one I love because you can write a little more on it and it could work for my purpose! :)

Well I hope you all can help me chose and I hope you all will use http://www.shutterfly.com for all of your holiday needs! I have made photo books with them also and really those are GREAT presents to give that truly are priceless! I look forward to hearing all of your thoughts on the cards I picked out!!

Here's what I like....
1. Have a holly jolly christmas...the last one. It looks like there is plenty of room to write out the save the date.
2. the red one that looks like the people in the picture had the same idea.
3. Merry Christmas It's the most wonderful time of the year! I love this one. :)
I like them all though so I don't think you can go wrong, these are just my favorites!
I can't wait to see the pictures!!!

I like the two with the wedding picutres on them. I also like the ones that you can write more on. I know it's going to be hard for me to pick some out as well. We did the same thing with our Christmas cards before we got married. I sent out my Christmas cards as save the date cards. It's a great idea!!

I really like the last one... lots of space for pictures and writing!
P.S. When I read the "STD" I got a little confused and shocked until I kept reading! haha, Can't wait to see your engagement pics! I know they will be beautiful!!

This cracked me up! :) You sound like me, I always make myself 7-8 different cards and then stress out for a week trying to pick one!

Last one is my fave, btw. :)
