[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 96901, member: 2211"] The first year I was separated and then subsequently divorced I sent out cards from just my girls and me and astonishingly I did not have any negative responses. I sent out cards to exh's family from the girls only and to my family and friends from all three of us. To combined friends of mine and exh's I only sent to the ones who were my friends first and that was that. No one even seemed to notice the change. However, if you really have a phobia about it, then I think I'd skip it altogether. I do not agree with sending out cards signed "From the ______ family" as it appears to be from ALL of you and that's not the case. In fact, I think it may make people wonder if you're really divorcing or not (if they've already heard, which they undoubtedly have). Why do stbx the favor of sending out cards from the family when he's not a part of that family in the true sense of it's meaning anymore? Let him send his own cards if he sees fit - start a new tradition with your own cards this year. Perhaps you and easy child can have your picture taken and send that along with your cards - keep it lite and fun! And of course, Stars suggestion for joining the card swap here at CD is great too!
