Christmas Cards + $50 Tiny Prints Giveaway!

I need a little help from my friends. A decision this big, can't be made flippantly.

Christmas cards are easily one of my favorite parts of December. I love getting to check the mail everyday to catch up with friends and see the photos that they send of their families. It's true, I've become my mother and now plaster Christmas card photos all over the refrigerator so that I can enjoy them all year long. When my kids get older and want to take turns getting the mail, I'll probably refuse to share the month of December with them.

Yep, I love Christmas cards that much!

In addition to sending cards to family and friends, I'm also part of a large Christmas card exchange with other quad moms all over the country. It's AWESOME! Let me tell you, it's so encouraging to open an envelope and see a bunch of smiling faces. And then realize that these older sets of quads haven't driven their parents insane yet! There is hope for us! :)

So here is the part that I need help with. I need to decide on:
            1. My Christmas card design
            2. The photo(s) I'll use

And there might be a little something in it for you, so keep reading!

This year, I'm super excited to use Tiny Prints to make our Christmas Cards! They have a huge selection of cards in their 2012 lineup, so there is no end of options to choose from. The best part? Their cards start as low as $0.89 each! I've priced a lot of websites, and this one easily has some of the best prices. Yay for affordable cards that don't cut corners on the cuteness!

The only problem is that they might have too much cuteness. 800 different cards worth of cuteness! Holy moley! I've looked through their cards...oh...five or six times at this point, and I'm seriously struggling to narrow it down.

Should I go with one larger photo and keep it simple?

Option A

Option B

Option C

Or should I do a slightly smaller group shot with individual photos of each of the kids?

Option D 

 Option E

And then there is my second problem of which photo to use on the card:

Number 1

Number 2 

I would love it if you would help me out by leaving a comment with your favorite card option and photo number! :)

  18. Option D or E with picture #1. I know picture number one is not the best of one of the boys (not sure which one, sorry!), but I love that it has the parents in it, and I like the composition and the colors and just everything about it. If you pick Option D or E, you can make sure to feature the boy who doesn't looks so great in the group picture in a stellar individual picture of your choice!
