These are all great ideas. Here’s one additional idea, recycle old greeting cards. Yes, it helps the environment, but it can also save you money! One way is to cut off the colorful front of an old card, and use it as a postcard.

Not only do you not have to buy a card, but also postcards are cheaper to mail!

Thanks for the post.

We used the free Picasa software (picasa.google.com) last year to make a fun 4×6″ collage print. I think we ended up having them printed at Costco since their prices are reasonable and there’s no shipping.
Since the photo was already digital, we cut back on costs by sending out an e-version of our letter & photo to those friends and family that we see on a regular basis. We have lots of family and friends overseas, and at $0.98/stamp we have to make sure we’re sending paper only to the ones who will truly appreciate it

Melissa, it is not quite free, but have you tried http://www.Picnik.com? The regular membership is free, but the premium (about $2.00 per month) include a super cool collage feature. I highly recommend it!

Does anyone have suggestions for free software to create photo collages, that I could then use to print my own photos with several images? I like to include several shots of my husband and I, the kids, etc.

I really want to get a nice shot of me and my children for a nice Christmas card, but with one away at college time is running out. I’m going to have to take advantage of that deal – hopefully I haven’t missed it.

I like to use family shots from vacations, showing the family doing something together, like biking, hiking or at an amusement park or something!

I totally agree. I love receiving the cards from our friends and family. They always have photos of the kids inside (or the photo is the card itself), and I look forward to them all year.

Thanks for the great tips!

We take our own photo with the tripod and then manipulate it to 4 wallets that fit on a 4×6 and then print them and cut into 4. It saves a ton and is much cheaper than ordering wallets.

We do a letter and use 1/2 off cards from the previous year.
