How is it already this time of year?

Nick and I just got back our engagement pictures (which I will post about soon) but first we need some help on a more pressing matter!

We all know there is a major holiday right around the corner and Nick and I have decided to take the plunge and send out joint Holiday cards this year.  Since we just got fabulous pictures taken it only seems right to make them photo cards. (I would typically wait until after Thanksgiving to start all this but if we decide to go the photocard route we have to make sure we have enough time to design and order them) I have used Shutterfly before for prints and photobooks and liked the results and I also found an incredible deal**! So we thought we would start there for inspiration and inspiration we found- way too many cool ideas to choose from!

Here are some of my favorites:

 I also like something like this so we can use more than one pictures:

 So clearly I prefer simple, clean designs and I am leaning towards a black and white photo with splashes of color in the design.  Being the indecisive person I am, I really just can't decide!  So faithful blog readers, which do you prefer?

  1. I LOVE the "oh holy night" one SO much, that if you don't use it, I'm going to convince Gabe that we should! And I also secondarily (but almost just as much!!) LOVE the "noel" one and think it would showcase new engagement photos BEAUTIFULLY! I hope you have fun deciding! Love you! (Oh, and let me know if you don't use the "oh holy night" one!)

  2. love them all & esp the idea of black & white with a splash of color. i think the Noel one would give you options to show multiple photos of you two. but i must say that i love the concept of "joy" too. esp as you embark on your life together, it's such a moment of pure happiness and... joy! that didn't help at all! between tany & i we've voted for them all! good luck!
