As eco-friendly as I try to be, I just can't seem to give up on sending a real life holiday photo card to my friends and family. Sure, e-cards are waste-free but there's something about getting a real card in the mail that just seems more personal - don't you think?
This year, I'm using Minted for my holiday cards. They have so many unique designs to pick from and you can choose to have any of them printed on high quality, 100% recycled paper. Better yet, the paper is made from 100% post consumer waste, is FSC-certified and is manufactured using wind-power. Nice!
Giveaway!
Which style of Minted cards would you choose? Use the Rafflecopter form below to enter to win a $50 gift certificate to Minted to use on your own eco-friendly holiday cards! The giveaway will run through midnight on Friday, November 9th and then I will randomly pick a winner. Hope it's YOU!

I love this one: making spirits bright holiday postcards

Be Merry would be my first choice, too. Second = Happiest of Holidays because there are multiple photos and it's always nice to get a little snapshot of various events that people attended throughout the year. Great tip! I'm definitely going to check out this website. I do enjoy snail mail. It's fun getting all the cards from people. We put them around our mantle area. It reminds me of how many loved ones I have.

It would depend on the photo, but I love the Modern Headline Holiday Postcard style.
