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!!
