Feel Good Friday - product review 'thank you photo cards' by helloBABY designs

When I was contacted by Sallyann from helloBABY all I could think was "what a wonderful product" and "it's been 10 weeks and I still haven't organised thank you cards for the gifts and well wishes we received after India was born!" aargghh!!!

It's funny because I actually enjoy writing thank you's, I don't see it as a chore (usually) and often enjoy either making my own or adding a personal touch.  I had Marley draw (scribble) pictures and stick stickers in the ones I wrote after his last birthday, luckily we did his party two weeks before the actual date as India arrived in time to share a birthday with her big brother and all the thank you's were pretty much done by then.  I made my own thank you cards with him - but then I look back and wonder what I did with all my time when I just had one baby!  This time around the promise of personalised cards using pictures of India which I could order off the internet and would be delivered to my door was a perfect solution........now if only I could get them to write them too....

I went through the whole ordering process from start to finish and found the helloBABY website very easy to use.  It took me a while to choose a template from all of their designs, there are so many super cute ones to decide out of which is great and accounts for all different tastes and preferences.  I then had to pick a couple of photos of India to send through, so the hardest part of this whole process was deciding on the template and the photos - that has to be a good thing.

Once my order had been placed I received a confirmation email and then updates on how my order was progressing and when I should expect them to arrive. They were on my doorstep 2 days later and I was very excited about opening my package.

As you can see from this picture I was certainly not disappointed with the final product and having sent out the cards I have had numerous phone calls from happy friends and relatives telling me how much they love their card.  A cool feature that I like about these cards is that they are printed onto photo paper and mounted onto a card which you can write on, this means that you could put the picture into a photo album or even frame to keep it on show for much longer than a traditional card would last on the shelf.

You are also provided with a magnet for the back - I am always a big fan of sticking things on the fridge so this was a plus for me. Overall I am really happy with my thank you cards and feel excited to send them to my family and friends and I will be keeping one in India's little keepsake box as a memento of her birth.  I would definitely recommend helloBABY designs to you and they also do Christmas cards (the designs are now on their webiste) and birthday invites too.
