The summer is winding down and kids will be back in school soon, if not already. It is not even September yet but I am already thinking ahead to holiday greeting cards and dreading it. Once November rolls around it seems that almost everyone heads to the mall portrait studios with their kids in holiday attire to try and get a few good shots. Last year was absolute torture for us. TORTURE. I won't name names, but we were taken an hour late so by the time we got in, my boys were already beyond done. I vowed to NEVER do it again.
This year, I plan on taking some cute holiday pictures myself (or maybe have my sister-in-law take some) and then just ordering some custom greeting cards online. DigitalRoom.com is an online printing store (part of the Uprinting Network) that not only offers printing services at affordable prices, but they also have some eco-friendly components:
~ low-VOC soy and vegetable based inks
~ non-toxic water -based AQ coating options
~ some recycled card stocks
~ they recycle all paper scraps and properly dispose of inks
Not only will I be saving my sanity, I'll be using a product that is better for the environment. Oh, but I am not stopping there. Baby boy #4 is due in mid-December and so what will I need then? Birth announcements. Now I did the birth announcements for my twins myself and they were pretty darn good. So I think the Custom Postcards from DigitalRoom.com will be perfect for this project.

I would definitely use them for birth announcements since my baby boy will be here within the next couple of weeks or possibly Christmas cards would be another great idea.

ReplyDeleteI'd definetly use them for christmas or maybe new years cards. I have 3 kids so the "mall" places don't work for us either!
