Quick Business card question - need opinion on picture.

I know this is kind of stupid to ask,but I was just at vistaprint.com & had a mental argument with myself.The question was pick a picture with a baby on it or a pregnant mom.So what do say? I really wanted a picture with a baby in gentle hands to match my business name : Baby N' Hands Doula Services.

Hey while I'm here do you think I should add Gentle to my business name? Another words it would be like so: Baby N' Gentle Hands Doula Services.

Without having seen the pictures on Vista Print, here's my : You can do whatever you want as far as the picture goes, IMO. I have a line drawing of a baby in a basket with stuffed animals looking in that was modified by a graphic artist especially for my cards, but I had my business cards done at a local printers. It's pretty neat...I had it done with thermography (raised ink). I've seen it both ways, some doulas having a baby, and some having a pregnant belly. My advice is to go with what your heart tells you about what you like and what you want. Just ask yourself if it represents your services or not (and go with something you like that does). I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE little babies, so I couldn't help but to lean that way. You don't have to do everything just like other doulas that you see. That's the beauty of this business; there's a lot of room for individuality!

Oh, my vote is to not have "gentle" in front of hands. To me, it feels more awkward to say.

HEY! I didn't see any option to choose pictures on Vistaprint! Lol

I chose the purple daisy card with purple font...I'm going to get 'real' cards once I'm certified. Which will hopefully be by the end of summer.

There is a place where you can do a search - there is a small fee for customizing the free order or to upgrade to the professional quality ones (don't remember what they call them!) I just received my order today (I selected the slow option - 3 weeks and they came in less than a week) and am very happy! Just want to hand them to everyone!!!!! One caveat I will make .... MAKE SURE THAT YOU CHECK AND RECHECK YOUR PROOF - I almost ordered blank cards!!!!

I have also received a few free offers since my original order - pay for postage and processing but still worthwhile for someone just staring out or wanting some cards while waiting for certification, etc. or wanting to market themselves without paying a fortune! R
