We have two graduations at my house this month so I am completely immersed in graduation planning. As a result, I’ve been ordering lots of pictures and I’ve been using online photo processing sites to do it. The pictures I’ve ordered have included the standard fare of senior portraits and cap and gown shots. But I’ve also been using pictures in things like party invitations and collage poster prints (those are really cool, by the way).
Fortunately, online photo processing makes all of this so much easier. Photos are so easy to upload and the selection of products you can order at sites like Snapfish and Shutterfly is amazing. No longer are your photo gift choices limited to coffee mugs and mouse pads. These days you can find photo jewelry, canvas prints, and even fleece blankets with photo collage prints on them. The soft blankets make a creative gift for the high school graduate to take to college.
The quality of the prints and products you get from online sites is really nice too. I’m getting rave reviews for my graduation party invitation with my daughter’s senior picture on it. It looks professionally designed, but it’s actually a template and it took just a few clicks of a mouse to make it happen. The process was a lot of fun too.
Whether you are a regular user of online photo processing sites or would like to try one out for the first time, one of the leading sites, Snapfish, has an offer for you. When you purchase twenty or more 4×6 pictures, you will receive an 8×10 photo for free. The coupon code to use is 8X10FREE. Snapfish is also offering free shipping on orders totaling $20 or more when you use the coupon code FREESHIP2010. Both of these offers are good until May 31, 2010.
