My Funny Picture

Is it weird to send photo copies of pictures in greeting cards?

You know for Christmas or other occasions people send pictures of themselves or family members inside of cards? What would you think if you received one with photo copies of pictures instead of a real one? So it literally is black and white on regular paper...almost looks like a newspaper article. Would you care? For the record, I am not thinking about doing this. I received one and someone in my home thought it was tacky.

1. Lol that was funny. It is tacky.
2. Its tacky. But maybe that's all they could afford too! I wish someone would send me a real picture. Best wishes.
3. I've gotten a few like that and it didn't seem tacky to me. Sending pics to all the friends and relatives can get expensive, so a photo copy on plain paper is the logical thing to do if you just want to show everyone how much the kids have grown or something like that.
4. I would consider that tacky. If you can't afford to send a picture to everyone, then don't put anything in there....send the picture via e-mail if you want people to see your family or kids or whatever. To me that sounds like "you're not important enough to receive a real picture, so here, you get one off the cutting room floor"....
5. LOL at Tiff's answer.. Yes it is tacky!!! Seriously.....people are stupid.
6. I think the whole sending pictures of your family in a card is just tacky in general , as would be the photocopied version lol
7. I'd consider it to be tacky, yes. I know I'd probably be a little offended if I received a picture like that, just in black and white on printer paper. It's like saying, "I've sent the original copies to the people I thought of first, but I guess you can have this one -- I copied it at FedEx for 5 cents." :/ But if you know that the person who sent it isn't able to afford regular copies, don't be upset.
