Christmas Card 2010 Decision

After lots of searching and thinking, I think I have decided to use Shutterfly to order my Christmas Cards. I wanted to go the simple route this year, and I found a simple fold-over card that is perfect ... and with the insane amount of cards I want to order, this card is fairly inexpensive, compared to some of the others I considered.

My deciding factor were the following savings -- so I wanted to share with you so you, too, can take advantage of this great opportunity!

Online at shutterfly.com, they are offering 30% off until November 22.
There is also a Free Shipping Code (SHIP30) on order of $30+
I received a catalog in the mail that says "Save $10" when using the special offer code.
I then checked on my Ebates page to see if there are any further offers. I will combine as many codes as I can, but even if I can't use any of these, I will still get an additional 8% cashback of my total order!!!

These are the Ebates coupons going on now, but for only 2 more days, I think ...

I don't want to give my Christmas Card Photo away, however I will share a few of my favorites from our awesome photographer. Just got these back this week. My sister-in-law and brother organized a family photo shoot that we did at my parents' beach house a few weeks ago. It was very windy and bright, but we were able to get a nice selection of shots. Here is a taste of the fun we had ...

I am in the process of deciding on the photo to use for our Christmas Card. I am ALMOST there ... choosing between 3 photos. Do I use the posed one, picture perfect, of everyone smiling directly at the camera, or the adorable candid one, which I LOVE, however you can't see the children's faces well??? One of our family of 4, or one of just the children???

I wanted to share with you a few websites that I like to use, but in return I would love your input on others, as I still have not found the perfect card I would like to use! Please HELP ME (and hopefully others) with some reputable online companies!!!
