Christmas Cards and their must haves

I am so excited to say we are finally finished addressing our Christmas Cards

I know I promise to post our card on here and I will but so many of my friends and family that will be recieving the cards also follow me on here so I want them to see the card in person first

So later this week I promise!!

While addressing our cards there were a few must haves for me

1. I love picture cards. 

To me it makes them much more personal and its fun to see how people change from year to year through their Christmas Cards.

This year Andrew and I ordered our cards through shutterfly.

We ordered our save the dates through them for the wedding and they were exactly what we wanted

Simple and Sweet

( Our invitations were amazing so we went with the basics for save the dates!)

They were so fast 

(we ordered and recieve in two days!!)

and when we got them they were just right.

2. Return Address Stamp

Since Andrew and I were mailing out 100+ Christmas cards this was a must have.

( Its a huge southern tradition to mail out your first Christmas Card to all attending wedding guests!)

We should have invested in this after the wedding for our million thank you notes but our brains were back to functioning after the long honeymoon :)

After tons of searching we settled on this amazing little shop we found through etsy called

My Rubber Stamp

It was super affordable

It's probably to late for Christmas but I would recommend them for any addressing needs you may have in the future!

 ( compared to some that will charge you almost $100)

Here is what our finished product looked like

The only thing I wish I would have chosen her pre-inked option 

but now I have the option of choosing the color of my stamp to fit the occasion.

Currently our stamp is Red for the Holidays!!

So what are you using to get your holiday cards ready??
