I was looking at my list today, I think I have to order like 80. I hate that! Sean has such a huge family. I have to get so many that I can afford to order the really cool ones, I just get 4x6. Ugh.
 
I haven't really made my list yet. But I may be scaling back a bit. I ordered 50 and that's going to have to be enough.
 
I didn't sign up for all my online exchanges this year, so not nearly as many as usual. I think I have around 60. The last few years, with my online boards and friends, I had over 125 each year, but it's just too expensive anymore.
 
I ordered 50 from Vistaprint this weekend, so that's my max!

Jeff doesn't care AT ALL abt cards, so I'll send out to whomever I like, incl his immed family & three aunts, and call it good. :)
 
I'm bad. I haven't sent any in a long time. I call people instead. So that's a whole bunch of phone conversations LOL
 
I ordered 40 this year. I'm doing a major major scale back on my list this year. If I haven't received a card from them in the last 5 years or so, they aren't getting one from me this year. I hate to do that, but it's just too expensive.
 
I think I am around 65-70 this year...not too bad I guess. I had deliver most of them so I save $$$ on stamps :)
 
I order 100 of the photo cards every year and then I send about 25 handmade cards to my scrappy friends that don't really need photos of my kids! ;)
 
I ordered and am sending out 125 this year - that includes a small adoption online community, our friends and family, and our church family.
 
I ordered 50 - thank goodness I had 50 free 5x7s through Artscow. But I still have to buy envelopes and stamps. Its expensive!
 
I ordered 75. Last year I ordered 100 and had leftovers, so I'm thinking 75 should be good enough. If it's not, I don't care. I refuse to stress about it. I'll spend the weekend writing notes in them and addressing them, and then that's that.
 
I am going to do 4x6 this year and probably around 100. I usually send them to the people at the church where my husband used to pastor. They were like a big family to us so I like to keep them updated with how our kids are growing. I do send a few to family but not many cause we usually see them all at Christmas.

This is what I do. I usually have around 50 to send out.
 
We do about 50 I think. I don't send any to online people. It's all just family and long time friends that we don't really ever see or talk to.
 
About 150-200 between all of DH's co-workers, mine, and both of our families and extended group of friends.

Too darn many if you ask me.
 
We usually do between 125-150! But, this year, I ordered 100 and that's all we're sending out! Not one single more!
 
Usually 50-65 -- this year I'm doing a Christmas card exchange on another forum, so that is an extra 15 cards.
 
I'm scaling back this year too. I think we'll be sending between 50-75 cards. Last year we sent out over 100 cards--eep! I'm a Christmas card crazy and love sending Christmas cards. I always end up doing an exchange or two on top of my list.

The artscow cards come w/ envelopes hon. At least mine did. LOL


I ordered 40 and that is what is getting sent out. LOL
 
It's around 150. I send away to friends & family about 50. Then, at church we do a card exchange/drop at the Christmas Party, so there is another 50. Plus, we have to give cards to DH's ward (parish) that he grew up attending and so that is another 50. However, both church exchanges have the youth sort and deliver them, so I don't have to pay postage. I only pay postage on about 50 of them. Good thing! By next Christmas it'll be $1 just to send a letter! It's getting ridiculous!
 
around 175-200 normally. both of us have our own businesses and them family. this year though we are not sending them out through the mail we did an e-mail sign up for both and since we did family pics this year family will be getting pics. family will get cards next year bc we only do family pics every other year
 
Ok, so I don't have a huge number compared to some of them.

BTW, Jamie, I'm still sending you a card whether you like it or not. :)
