Holiday Card Cost - 2024 Holidays

[Anonymous]

150 photo cards, about $70, buying early with a discount code from Vista Print. Stuffing party with teens while watching TV, so only cost is stamps and cards

$52 (sale) for 100 cards/envelopes printed overnight by Staples.

Empty nester here. I quit sending cards after my kids went to college. My kids are a year apart in age so the final picture was with the kids wearing their college hoodies. I don’t receive many cards now, but really don’t care. I’ve reduced the decorating too. Much less stressful.

I paid appx $75 for 140 cards from CVS. I used to use Shutterfly but this year resolved to do cheapest I could find and see how I felt about it. I feel fine

About $80 for 90 cards from Walmart photo - super late this year, one day printing on Xmas eve.
Quite nice for the price. Addressed & mailed ourselves.

Also our last year as we're now empty nesters.
It was fun when kids changed year after year; ha now not so much, one less chore.

I quit cards this year and I'm never going back.

$87 for 90 from Shutterfly with discount codes, not including stamps. I like writing a note on each and picking fun stamps, but I love having the envelopes preaddressed. And since I enjoy getting cards and know some friends and relatives like getting ours, it's worth it to me.

Walgreens was pretty cheap, too. My sister does them with a 60 percent off coupon, which she says they run every year. They're not as nice and thick as my Shutterfly cardstock and the printing is not perfect (a little color bleed), but fine for the price. Plus we were both late in ordering this year and she got hers in time because she could pick them right up at the store and then hand write a note on the back, which I think makes them nicer than mine that were like mass mailings.

Created in Canva and then printed with mpix. About $65 for 55 cards and I was impressed with the cardstock weight and quality of printing.

$257 for 140 pre-addressed cards from Shutterfly. I had to pay for rush shipping because we were late getting them out. Stamps were around $105.

$100 for 50 cards with printed addresses from artifact uprising; they feel nice and addressing was free; we were late ordering so I didn’t shop around

$50 for 100 cards from Photo Affections using a Groupon (Coupon was for $40 for 100 cards and I added printed return addresses.)

Postage costs more than the cards...

I bought one box and got another box free at Paper Source. Wrote a short catch-up note to the few people I sent cards to.

They'll read and recycle. <$30.
