Christmas Card Help

It might be a little weird that I'm posting about Christmas cards in October, but this little preggo's gotta plan. With Baby O.'s due date being December 16, this year's Christmas card needs to be a little inventive... and sent out in November. Heck, my Christmas shopping is getting done this month!

Here's last year's card!
Haha, kidding.

It was actually this:
How things change in one year!


So far, the idea is that this year we would use a maternity picture with Greg and I and have a theme of Baby O. being the present. I've gotta get creative and use some cute wording.

This year, I'm going to use TinyPrints for our Christmas cards. They have a really adorable selection of Christmas/Holiday cards... so many beautiful designs! They also have address labels and party invitations. How fun!

So, let's take a look at what I've picked out so far. I need your help deciding! What is your favorite? Keep in mind, a maternity picture will be on the front!

Option #1

So the thought behind this one is I would use some cute wording on the back like "Coming this December, our greatest gift of all!"


Option #2
via
Now how cute would this be with a maternity pic? I would probably put something on the back like "'Tis the Season for bundles of joy! Wishing your family the gifts of the season."


Option #3
via
Again, I'd have to think of some cute wording for the back about "bundles of joy."


Option #4
via
Would this be too.... overkill? Remember... maternity pic.


Option #5
via
Once again, some kind of wording with "bundle of joy." 



So, which one's your favorite? I'm feeling kind of stumped.
Also, if you have any cute ideas for the wording/back of the card, I am all about your input!


Disclosure: For writing this post, Tiny Prints is offering me 50 Christmas cards.

Leslie said...

I am using Tiny Prints for our cards this year too and I have already picked out my 5 favorites. So, you are not alone :)
I love #3 and #4 but they are all super cute!

Jessica Renee said...

Now you have me obsessing over Christmas cards in October too! ha! My fave is #1!

Suze said...

I LOVE the wording on #1. :) But I like 2 and 3 better. 3 probably the most. :)

Vicki said...

I kinda love #4 I don't think its overkill, I think it all ties in adorably!!! :)

Heather said...

I love Option 2! Such a cute idea!

And I've totally been obsessing over cards for a few weeks now!

Lauren said...

I'm digging #3 with the maternity pic! You can also have a pic of the two of you holding an ultrasound pic... Or a maternity pic + an ultrasound pic (for a card that has 2 photos).

Rebekah said...

I love 2 and 3! Thanks so much for telling me about this. I need to get on top of our cards asap!

heather said...

#2 is my favorite (i love the wording!) but #3 is also good.

good luck deciding!

Ashlee Miller said...

I like the "Bundles of Joy" wording! Super cute and not overkill. I love the 5th design, then again I like the grunge look in the lettering! So many choices though. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them!

Ashley Paige said...

ooh ooh ooh!! pick numbers 1 or 4! ONE OR FOUR!!! :)

Stephanie said...

I pick #1 or #4 :) Both are adorable!! Especially with your cute lil belly!!

One of my coworkers had a baby right before she printed her Christmas cards last year and she had it read "Our Christmas Wish Come True". I don't know if you can work that in but it was really cute. :)

I REALLY love #1 and #4...and i'm not a religious person at all, I juts think #4 is so clever and it reminds me of the CHarlie Brown christmas special!!! whatever you do, it's gonna be adorable. OO!! Maybe you could tie a ribbon around your belly too?!?

Alex said...

I love your idea for the wording on #1, but I like the style of #5!

Amy said...

I like 1, 3, and 5.

I like the idea of making it funny! Have you got the shots done yet? maybe for the Christmas photo get a t-shirt with a present on the bump or something? Just a thought!

tara said...

I like #1!!

Maura said...

i love 2 and 3 the best! such a cute idea

Café Bellini said...

You make the best xmas cards! I like 3, then 1!

Taylor said...

One of my friends last year sent out a card that said

Were "expecting" You to have a great holiday...

Haha I thought it was cute, tiny prints are the best!!

Celia said...

I really love this 1st one and with that wording on the back! :o)

Ashley Sisk said...

I think you should do something a little off-humor. Maybe tie a bow around your belly and say do not open until after Christmas?

KSK said...

I like #1 and #3 :)

Neely said...

1, 4 or 5 can I reserve mine now :)

Amber said...

#3 and #5 are my faaaves!

KJJ Houston said...

thisnotedlife said...

cute!! i already chose our christmas cards too hehe

Life With Lauren said...

The 3rd one is my favorite!

Camille said...

These are all so cute! I'm not even sure which you should pick but I do know that you're creative enough to pull off something amazing. I'm just gonna stick our beagle on the front of the card and include some cheesy statement about paws and happiness and Christmas and be done with it. Until next year, when I can convince Joe to take a picture with me under the tree...how do you do that, anyway? Hope your play went well!

steph c said...

#1 for both look and wording. And I want to see the maternity pics!
