My New Blogger Business Cards
I love my new business cards even if I’m not entirely sold on my own design. Sighhh. I definitely tried to put all of the information I though I needed on here, and I succeeded. But, I also ended up with a QR Code that is way too small and an overall really cluttered card.
I had these printed to bring with me for iRetreat2014 (which I am getting overly excited about! A little over two months away!). As a blogger, business cards are important for networking with other bloggers and the great brands that you will run into at conferences like iRetreat and other events and even in your personal life.
So, I’d love your thoughts. Since I received these cards for free- should I use and keep them (I have 1,000 of them!) or just suck it up, redesign them and place a new order? Feel free to be brutally honest!
Mommy Cards are Fun!
If you’ve ever picked up your child at school and scrambled to find a pen and a piece of paper to exchange numbers with their new bestie’s parent, you might need a Mommy Card! I think this is so cute and fun and a great way to network with fellow moms from school, the park, in the neighborhood, at sport events and anywhere else you might cross paths with a fellow mom!
Mommy cards are great not just for setting up play dates, but also for leaving contact info for your babysitter, giving to neighbors, sharing with friends and family, keeping in diaper bags and other items in case they are lost, when you drop your child off at a birthday party, just for fun and for safety. Add a photo of your child and your contact info- if they were ever to get lost you could hand the cards out quickly.
ePrintFast Business Cards
The ordering process was really easy and I was able to get the dimensions for printing just right thanks to their custom template. I will definitely reorder from ePrint Fast again!

I used PicMonkey to design my business cards and my mommy cards.
I also use PicMonkey to edit most of the images you see on this site.
Those business cards came out awesome. Back when I ordered mine, the company I got them from had a special – buy 1000 and get 1000 free, so I am set for….the rest of my life.
That sure is a lot of business cards! I think you are right- they will last forever!
I’ve never thought of the idea of a mommy card, it really is a great idea. I have blogger business cards but I like the idea of just having important information on a card that isn’t focused on my blog
I agree. Sometimes we need to identify as people, women, moms and then bloggers!
I’m of the thought that no one should call you Mommy but who you have MADE! I do have business cards for my son, with my phone number and a cute fact about him – we include them in gifts and cards!
Awesome business cards! Mommy cards are a really neat idea!
Mommy cards sound great – though, I don’t think I’d need 1000+1000 of those! 🙂
Sounds like a great company for business cards! I love your idea of a mommy card!
The company is really great. And, thanks, I think mommy cards are fun!
Love the mommy cards! I will be needing some new cards in the near future!
These are great business card and i adore yours. Will have to check them out when it’s time fro me to replace mine.
I like your card design. You should definitely use them up. My daughter could probably use some mommy cards. I will pass your link on to her.
Oh wow, I can’t believe how affordable they are. I just got business cards done for my hubs and they cost about 4 times that price. Yikes! I’ll be ordering mine soon, will DEF be checking them out!
Those are great, I love how they came out. I created a blogger cards a while ago and need to make more!
I need to order some new business cards. I have some for my personal chef business but not for my blog. I wonder if I should combine the two or would that be TMI.
That’s a great question. I think you might be able to combine the two if your blog is closely related to your business.
Both my business and my blog are closely related so I think it would be appropriate to combine the two
You will LOVE iRetreat! I’ve attended the past two years (when it was still called Reviewers Retreat) and am sad I won’t be able to make the journey to it this year. The business cards look really good too – perfect for the conference!
Ah! I need to order new cards !! I am off to check these out
Your new business cards look great. I just ordered some new ones for myself too, this past week.
Those came out so nice! I need to order some new cards. Wow, I never thought about mommy cards before. That’s a great idea.
I love having business cards handy. You never know what you might need them for!
I love your card! I have cards for my blog and then I also have Mommy cards for moms I come across at my son’s school.
Mommy cards sound like a fun idea! My kids are homeschooled, but it would be fun for them to have for the friends they make in extracurricular activities!
I’ve thought about going to iRetreat. Have fun! Cute business cards, by the way!
Even if you don’t like them, I would use them. Hate to waste 1,000 mommy cards.
I’m getting ready to order new cards- maybe I’ll try them out. Thank you for the recommendation!
I think they are cute! I would use them for sure!
I haven’t ordered any since I quit my traditional job. I think they’re great though and could be very helpful!
Your mommy cards are really cute. I need to order myself some more before the busy summer season starts up again.
This just reminded me I need to get business cards made for my new site! Yours came out great.
Your blogger card wouldn’t load for me! I love the mommy card though. The teachers all know me at my sibs school…… Not necessarily for the best reason. Lol. Let’s just say we have conferences a lot
These are really nice! Plus it reminds me that I need to get some business cards before I go to a conference in a couple of weeks.
Very nice. Business cards are a “must” for anyone who blogs!
Mommy cards are a really neat idea! Your business cards turned out GREAT! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Those are awesome cards! I do need to get some.
These are great to tuck in the kids backpacks for school, camp, or friends homes. I need some new business cards.
I have never seen mommy cards before, that is so cute. How often are we at the park and do not have a way to write down our information. We could put those in our phone cases and just hand it out. I need new business cards so I will check them out for that as well.
Mommy cards! I haven’t heard of them. Too cool. I bet Grandma cards would be even more popular! LOL
Your cards turned out perfectly. I think it is about time that I order some new business cards. so I will definitely have to check out their selection.
Your cards are so cute! I love how you out the kids on them! Sweet!
I would continue to use them. I have a few hundred blogger cards and even used one tonight when I was out with friends (a stranger started talking to us and wanted to know more about my blog.) I love my cards!
Oh no I can’t see the pictures. I checked the site out though, wow, I may get some cards from them.
I have blog cards. But I also have Mommy Cards. They are great t leave with my kids at a birthday party or playdate so I can be reached easily.
Beautiful cards, and I love that they feature your kids! I think I need to update mine
I have been thinking about ordering business cards so I’ll check these out. I don’t have a need for mommy cards since my kids are much older but I love the idea for younger families.
I have a friend that made these for her family. It’s a great idea for Military families too. 🙂
Those cards are so cute! I really need to make new business cards soon.
These kind of cards would be great for introducing yourself to the other parents in your childs school. They really look well done.
You wanted brutally honest so I’m giving you my real opinion. I think your kids are very cute, but it’s your blog and your picture should be on the card rather than them. I also think you need to make your domain clear, more so than on the email address. Aside from that, love the design!
Thanks, Ronnie I do appreciate your feedback. There are two separate cards here- one, on the top of the post is the blog business card with my site info and all of my social media sites and includes my picture as well as a picture of my family. The second card is a Mommy Card- designed for giving out to family, friends and for exchanging contact info with other parents at parks, birthday parties, school events, etc.
This is a great post Erica! I am thinking of creating my own business and reading this post is a great timing for me. 🙂
Love the pics of your kids on the Mommy Card! I’d totally take these with me on the playground or anywhere else my son and I go to give out to moms I end up chatting with.
I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time! Thank you so much!
Now this is cool – maybe I should have one for myself, too!
I never thought of having mommy cards. they would be great for teachers andneighbors
I didn’t even think about giving them to teachers! Thanks for the great idea!
