Holiday photo card recommendations?

<p>Any experiences with online ordering, photo quality and flexible photo sizing? I have heard good things about Shutterfly, but have no personal experience.</p>

<p>I have made Shutterfly cards ( and other projects) for years now. Very easy and lots of different styles and options. The cards, calendars and photo books never fail to get rave reviews.</p>

<p>I’ve used Shutterfly and have nothing but good things to say about it. The quality is excellent, the prices are good, and it seems they ALWAYS have a special going on.</p>

<p>I used shutterfly last year and this year, and I think I’ll try another vendor next time. My pictures look a lot less crisp on the card. I don’t know if this is normal, but I used iPhoto to enhance and brighten them before uploading, and they just printed kind of fuzzy.</p>

<p>I think Tiny Prints is affiliated with Shutterfly, but they had better card selections last year, IMO. I haven’t looked this year. I’m thinking of doing a New Year’s card so I can get a picture of everyone when they are home for Christmas.</p>

<p>I’ve used Shutterfly and Snapfish. I was happy with both. I did find that I got a cheaper rate going to a different company because they give new customers a deal.</p>

<p>Have used Tiny Prints, Shutterfly and My Publisher for cards and the last two for albums. Happy with all of them. Definitely watch for promos in Nov for free shipping plus 20% off or something. Sign up with the sites and they will send you the emails.</p>

<p>I’ve been happy with Shutterfly. If you are organized and order your cards by 10/28, you can save 40%…</p>

<p>Was just going to post the same gosmom. We’ll be ordering ours by Monday – very good deal. We’ve used shutterfly for our holiday cards for years and have been very happy. We like foldover cards (rather than flat) and they’re harder to find so many other vendors don’t work for us.</p>

<p>I have ordered on-line from Walgreens photo and then picked up completed cards in their local store probably for the past 15 years. No complaints.</p>

<p>Thanks to a tip from CC last year, I ordered my Christmas photo cards from cardstore dot com. They were 75% off on black Friday. The cards came quickly and turned out really well.</p>

<p>Minted.com
They are a little more expensive but the quality is wonderful.</p>

<p>Costco - new coupon starts 10/30…</p>

<p>Costco. The son is in town, plan to get family photo for card tonight. :)</p>

<p>Have used Shutterfly for several years, with good results.</p>

<p>Here’s a second vote for Minted. Beautiful cards, like nothing else out there.</p>

<p>Always Costco. They also convert videos to DVD (just dropped off 2 tapes yesterday; I have no idea what is on the 1 except it said family video 5/94-? which coincides with our first video camera purchase.)</p>
