Frame-Worthy Holiday Cards
E-greetings are easy, inexpensive and just right for procrastinators who can't make it to the post office. But they lack a certain something that paper greeting cards provide (besides, there will be people who are eagerly awaiting for your card to complete
their holiday decorations).
The solution: If you are adept with scissors and a stencil, you may choose to make your own cards, but the rest of us might consider sending postcards this year.
Stamps for 100 postcards will cost $34, compared with the $49 you'd need to mail the same number of standard-size cards in envelopes. You won't feel like you're skimping if you choose something like these personalized photo cards from
Minted or
this relatably funny card from
HenPen Designs.
