The supplies needed are cheap in bulk- available on Amazon for less than 9.00 per 100. Then you'd just have to print the photos which we have done many times through Shutterfly deals without ever paying them a cent.
Now, the thing is I was originally looking for a digital version to post on facebook and instagram, and this wouldn't actually work for that. Whereas you can take a digital image and print 4 on one piece of card stock and throw those in the mail. Then you only have to pay for the paper, envelopes and stamps.
Here is an example of what I was able to find on Shutterfly, and an example of how I could make it myself and have it printed on photo paper- size would be adjustable, just the image would be square.
The proportions are quite different now that I'm looking at them side by side, but that's easy to fix.
To get the look, I used a picture that is similar to the one in the example above. Stacey is already excited to practice her newborn photography on our baby, so that part will be professional and free. They were over here tonight talking about blankets that we have that are perfect and the natural light in the living room. So, I'm thinking we'll go with the digital and print them at walgreens for like 10 cents each for the ones we want to mail, and then post the file online for everyone else.
Post Edit: I think I would change "proud" to either "tickled" or "adoring" or something like that.
