I always do a photo Christmas card. This year the card has a Christmas tree on it made out of cupcakes. I have four pictures on it. One of each of my daughters individually and then one of them together. The caption at the top says: Wishing you a sweet Christmas. I am having trouble wording our ending. Should it say:
Love From:
Husband and wife and OUR sweet girls or
Husband and wife and THERE sweet girls
Thanks,
L.
I will be using all of our names but did not want to put all of our names on here for privacy :)
And whoops, yes I know the correct way to use the word THEIR, but I am so tired.
I would put "our". However, I have to say that if you chose "there" you need to use the correct spelling: Their. There is a place {Put the book over there.}. Their is the possessive pronoun, which is what you want in this case. Can you tell I'm a homeschooler? LOL
THEIR or THREE is fine...but not THERE, which indicates direction or placement (and I know, it's probably just a typo - we are ALL tired!:)
Personally, I like "our". It seems sweeter.
Merry Christmas!
use "our."
That is more appropriate.... if you say "their" you are talking about yourself/your Husband in the 2nd or 3rd person... like as if you are an outsider talking about your girls...
MANY people, on family cards, also just list each person with the ages of their kids in parentheses. ie: Love From John & Mary, Sally(1), Jane (4) and Ellen (7)
all the best,
Susan
i wouldn't use either personally, i would just put names. but if i had to choose one or the other, definately go with "our", using "their" would just sound weird and as though someone else had made and sent your cards...
Bill, Jane, Susie, Mary & Tess.
Or "our sweet girls" if you use a phrase.....
How 'bout just Love From "The Smith Family?"
I mean provided you all have the same last name.
Personally I'd use your names:
Love from,
Bob, Lisa and our sweet girls
But definitely go with 'our' - it's more personal :)
How about:
Husband and wife and FOUR very sweet girls
I vote for "our," but if you use the other, please spell it "their."
It sounds so sweet! Please check shutterfly.com sample Christmas cards for great wording ideas. Merry Christmas!
I think either way sounds fine. And of course, you of aware about "their" haha, sorry! Im tired too!
Actually, I lied, I like "our" better. More personal?
I disagree that you have to use all of your names. I think "Our sweet girls" is cute. I just put our last name on ours....
I vote for "our." Much friendlier! Go get some rest.
I would go with our, just MHO! Or you could just state your names Love John Jan, Jean June etc.
Are you limited on lines or characters?
We always sign our cards:
With love from The W.'s
J. & S.
E., S. & T.
with full names of course. If your cards are going out to family and friends, there's no need to be secretive about their names.
Good luck!
That sounds very cute! I like OUR. :)
I would go with our, I think it flows nicer:)
