Do you send folded Christmas cards?

I send folded cards, but I make my own. I don't usually display the Christmas cards I receive so I don't care if they can stand up or not. I put them in a basket on our mail table and at the end of the season I bundle them up with string and put them in a box.

No, I do not send folded cards.

There was a thread on photo cards a few days ago and lots of peas said they like to send and receive photo cards.
Lots of peas said they keep them in photo albums or scrapbooks. The flat cards work better for that.


I don't display cards I receive. I usually just throw away the ones that aren't photo cards. I'll keep the photos.

I updated it. Sorry about that.

No worries. It happens. I figured that's what you were trying to show. I'm building something like that for my office but for favourite photos. I could display favourite cards too. I'm probably going to do what I call a card "laundry line" in the living room though. 

I did when I handmade, but now I buy flat ones. I hook mine to a wreath hanging on the wall, so it doesn't matter if they are folded or flat.

I send folded photo cards but I make them myself by printing a 5x7 photo and sticking it on the front of a folded card. The folded photo cards you can order are CRAZY expensive and it takes longer to get them back from Costco because they aren't done in-house like the prints are. Most years I just don't have the time to wait that long to get them so I just do regular photo prints and do the rest myself.

Last year, DH had me do a bunch of ours through a service he sometimes uses for his business (Send Out Cards) because he had a big credit to burn up. It was a terrible mistake. Not only did the photos on the cards look bad but they took forever to get in the mail so many people didn't get them until just a couple days before Christmas even though the order had been submitted weeks earlier. Never again. I could have done them much faster myself and the photo quality would have been far superior, and they would have been a lot cheaper per card. I did a handful of the homemade ones for the Grammas and they were so much nicer than the ones Send Out did. 

Most years I do. Last year a did something different but most years yes.

I am a rep for Heritage Makers and we offer them. We have discounts on them when you are purchasing large numbers of them.

I like to send folded cards with the front the picture (or pictures) and a hand written note on the inside. If someone wants to save the picture, they can separate the back fold and have a flat picture.

I think the flat option is more popular because it's less expensive.

Shutterfly has a selection of folded cards...although they also have a lot more flat cards too.
