When my daughter was born, I was very late in sending out her baby photo along with an announcement of her birth. I  never actually sent out a formal announcement per say; I opted to do that via email. I sort of just sent out her photo to close friends and family with a small note. I still kick myself for not doing so. If we ever have another baby, I will definitely take one of the nicest photos and create a little photo announcement to send out.

In the meantime, I really want to get into the habit of sending out cards more often to our loved ones at different times of the year: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Back-to-School, etc. Of course, a picture of our baby girl would definitely brighten up their day when they receive the card. Let’s face it, they don’t care about my husband and I anymore – all the love now goes to our daughter. And that’s fine.

So, when I was recently approached by the owner of Photo Card Creations, I figured it was the perfect opportunity for me to get some ideas going. I no longer have any excuses with sites such as these, where you can order custom photo cards. Photo Card Creations specializes in wedding thank you cards and invitations, birth announcements, and holiday cards, just to name a few. They have tons of card designs and a variety of different paper. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s a good time to order any personalized Valentine’s Day cards for sending to your family. Thanks to Photo Card Creations, you have the chance to create your own cards for Valentine’s Day or any upcoming occasion you have.
