Send the Best: Holiday Cards from SanLori Review + Giveaway

by Kate on November 18th, 2010 | 77 Comments » | In For Mama, Giveaways, Reviews

With the holidays just around the corner, it’s definitely time to think about holiday cards. As much as I rely on email day to day and recognize the environmental benefits of sending e-cards, there is just something wonderful about sending beautiful paper cards to celebrate the holidays. SanLori has a wonderful collection of holiday photo cards that will actually do your adorable family photo justice.

Send The Best

I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing SanLori paper products before and was thrilled to have the opportunity to personalize photo cards for the holidays. By far, the hardest part of this process was deciding which cards to send! I swear I spent three nights with a gazillion tabs open in my internet browser, a different card on every tab, flipping back and forth between them, trying to narrow down to my very favorite card. But, picking just the right card is important to me. Truthfully, the holiday card is the only mail I send to lots of friends and family all year long so the card has to be a good representation of my style, my family and the holiday sentiment.

Our Holiday Photo Card

After lots of internal debate, I picked the Prep in Time Photo Card with Ribbon. I liked the traditional patterns with a modern color palette. I opted for the version of this card that includes printed photos I attach to the card rather than photos digitally printed into the card. I also really liked this card because of the ribbon – adds a lovely touch, I think.

I chose a printed greeting, “Wishing you peace, love and laughter this holiday season” and included our names. My holiday cards arrived safely packed in a lovely SanLori box. The cards, envelopes and ribbon were wrapped separately and there was also adhesive to attach my photos to each card. There was also an assembled sample so I could see how to recreate the cards.

I love the final result! The cards look amazing and I am very pleased to be putting these in the mail to friends and family this holiday season.

But, that’s not all! I also received some coordinating address labels – and they are the perfect way to finish off my beautiful card. I appreciate that it saves me time from having to write our address over and over again, and, of course, that it creates a more finished look to the envelope.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… SanLori has a really fun selection of photo holiday cards, with personalization options including printed photo or attaching a photo, blank inside on folded card or printed message. I am very pleased with the quality of the cards – they turned out so, so well. And I can’t wait to hear what my friends and family think of our gorgeous cards.

Or Not to Buy… There’s really no reason not to buy from SanLori unless they don’t have a card you like. Which is kind of crazy because there’s so much to pick from!

Shop! The prices for cards at SanLori vary depending on personalization and printing options, but the Prep in Time Photo Cards in this review start at $15.75 for a set of 10 cards.
