std with xmas cards or separate ?

Okay...need to figure out how to send my std- ( a small magnet - blue sky background with a sunflower and pretty script )


i was at kolhs and spent 24$ on 50 hallmark christmas cards - they have silver inside of envelope and the front of the card is blue sky with a donkey, sleep and child looking up at the star-filled sky. the inside says 'heavenly peace to you and yours' i figured something like this would go better with the summer sunflower than with frost the snowman..

then i went to michaels and found 10 packs of cards for a dollar each! i spent 6 dollars for 60 cards/ envelopes! these have a pretty blue D -the font of this D has flowers surrounding it and the inside of the card is a sky blue which peeks out and shows a strip of blue on the bottom of the front under the D. the D can stand for DH's last name or 'Date' and I can either cut slits into the card or double sided tape inside.

I usually send christmas cards although not 50 of them... and i think i'd rather send out the stds separate ...i really should take the time to figure out how to post pictures.. but in the meantime what do u think by what the description says ?

maybe i can return 1/2 the christmas cards... if i send stds too..

.41 cents x 50 christmas cards/std= $ 20.5 once for twice? 40 bucks

although if i only send christmas cards to who i usually do then it would be more like

.41 x 25 = 10.25 plus std -20 = 30 bucks

or just in the christmas cards - 20 bucks

or only std and no christmas cards- 20 bucks

but then again -some people i do not have to mail - maybe save money that way.. can hand deliver them?

in the long run, its not that much money in comparison and then its a matter of what card i like more for my std ?

what do u think??

ugh.

My mom told me to send the std's with the xmas cards but I decided to send them on their own

Im sending mine after xmas only because i worry about them getting lost with all the mail being sent out or people misplacing them in the hecticness of the holidays

Though I think it would be cute to send them with the Christmas cards and it would save money, I would be concerned with people misplacing them during the chaotic holiday season or them getting lost in the overload of holiday mail. That's a tough call...

I actually just printed a nice little note last year and inserted it into the cards of the people I knew I was going to invite. Seems to have worked - - they pretty much all said yes and came and it was Labor Day weekend too. So you could combine and money just flows out from here on so a couple dollars doesn't sound like much but in another couple months you will want that $$ back!! Put it in a tip jar! Now that will need alot of quarters!!!!!!!

We sent out stds out with our Christmas cards last year- it saved us postage, plus our wedding is a Christmas wedding, so we thought it was appropriate.

I would send them out separate...I know when I get xmas cards, sometimes I just throw them in my mail pile...the STD may not be noticed as much as if it were mailed separately.
