It is that time of year again…. time to pull out your good camera and dust off the lens, or book a family photo session with your favorite photographer. We are all in search of that elusive, one in a thousand picture, that needle in a haystack, where all of our children are smiling AT THE SAME TIME.
It is the season of the Christmas card.
The task seems simple enough, but as anyone with more than one child knows, it is anything but easy. Trying to snap a picture with all of your children putting their best smile forward, dressed in their Sunday best is next to impossible. Frankly, just getting them all ready for the photo session (whether with a professional or with your own camera) is enough to make most moms want to pull their hair out.
While we cannot help you style their hair or line them up for that perfect shot, we can help you find a fabulous card to say Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanza, or even Happy New Year (for all those that took a little longer getting that perfect shot). Over the last few weeks, Bagsy has scoured the internet and local paper boutiques to scout the best holiday card vendors, based on quality, price and of course aesthetic.
Today we are going to share one of our favorite sites, Minted.com. Minted sites three reasons to love their company, but at Bagsy, we have three reasons of our own. We love Minted for their thick quality paper, endless choices of simple yet creative designs and the ease of use in navigating the site.
New this year on Minted.com are the completely custom holiday cards - If you don’t happen to get that one in a million shot of your family for 2015, Minted has you back. You can upload a photo or scan of your child’s drawing and Minted will create a unique foil or letter pressed holiday card just for you. Not only does the custom card allow your children to get involved, but it also ensures you will not pick the same design as any of your friends. You can still add a family photo on the inside if you choose (you know everyone wants a picture).
