Well, I'm cheap so I've been using Red River 50# Premium Matte, a double 
sided matte paper.  I have been printing a few lines on the back of the 
cards the past few years, telling people where the kids are.  Before Red 
River I used Epson Enhanced Matte (I know, I know, non-archival and all 
that, but there are only a couple of recipients that keep the cards.)  
Basically I'm now doing digitally what I began doing in  about 1978 in a 
wet darkroom (4 exposures per sheet using a multi-print easel and 
appropriate masks - what a pain in retrospect, although I thought it was 
pretty cool when I was doing it.)

Cheers
Kip
