I've used them the past few years and have always been happy.

I have used them in the past and have been happy too.

We've done them there and been happy. However, I notice that more of our friends/family are doing their cards there and we tend to receive the same card design (different pics of course) from a couple of different people. Not a huge deal but it was one thing that prompted me to get a Groupon for a different site this year.

We've done them here the last few years also. In fact, they always seem to have a coupon for an additional $5 off that expires Thanksgiving weekend. This gets me moving, so I don't miss out on the deal!

Cards are fine (agree with pp that they are popular) but the calendars we did last year at costco were awful.

We've used Costco for years. It's hard to beat the price. I agree though that in our circle of friends, everyone and their brother uses Costco too. I'm noticing many of my trendier friends & relatives moving towards other things like Tiny Prints. Since I'm short on time and money, I'm going with the old standby: Costco.

Have done Costco for years.....did Tiny Prints last year just b/c it was last minute and wanted a "fancier" card stock type of card....spent over $80. This year we took advantage of the $5 coupon and got 50 photo cards for $10. Just can't beat that prices....we are happy with them.

Cardstore.com has holiday photo cards for 49 cents printed on cardstock and it includes shipping/stamps. Coupon code CCP2439 - deal ends today though.

I use that $5 coupon as a motivator to get mine done before Thanksgiving. You just can't beat the price. I do 175-200 cards and while I do appreciate some of the nicer ones, I just can't justify that kind of money.

Usually I've been able to pick them up the next day - not the 1 hour of most on-line orders but within 24 hours. This year I ordered late on a Sunday and they were not available until Wednesday at noon. That was made clear from the beginning, but not the same as in past years.

We, too, ordered at Costco during the $5 off promo ($10 for 50 cards). We ended up ordering another 100 from Sam's Club bc they were running $15 for 100 cards. We normally order about 150 cards each year, so Tiny Prints/In a Baby Carriage is def out of our budget. Quality for Costco is fine and so is Sam's Club (I feel like Sam's had more theme selection).

You can do Tiny Prints through Costco now. Just an FYI. We ordered the regular ones, but they have some of partnership with Tiny Prints now.

We send 75 cards. We really can't afford the more expensive cards for that many. I am always satisfied with the Costco cards overall.

I do my own design in PSE & use that for Costco. You can use the blank card template & upload any design you want. If you aren't PS savvy, you can usually find someone on etsy to do it affordably.

I usually browse minted or tinyprints for ideas & have had created some cute cards over the years that don't look like every Tom, Dick, or Harriette's cards.
