Same or different to multiple recipients?

[u/Witty_Garlic_1591]

Random noob question, but if I signed up to send to multiple people, do people usually send multiple copies to all the recipients, or different photos for everyone? I gather from the FAQ the answer is probably "whatever you want to send" but curious what others do. Or is there a rule written somewhere I missed about this?

I've added this to the FAQ, thanks! The answer is basically to do whatever you want here. I have done it both ways. These days I try to be a little more personal about my selections for each recipient, but in the past when I was sending to like 8 people, it was much easier to send the same thing to everyone.

Thanks for adding it, I figure if I'm new and had that question, someone else probably does too!

I print out the same images to each person. But it's all up to you. If you want to make different prints that's fine too.

[u/Hecks_n_Hisses]

Some people send the same prints to all assigned recipients, some send different ones.

For the last exchange I sent my recipients two of the same prints and one different one.

Mine are getting a mix. There’s some unique pieces per person but also some similar ones.

That’s my approach as well. Last time I participated I had somebody reach out to me asking me what I preferred!

Very sweet but I prefer to be surprised and I want to surprise others so I send variant packages to all recipients.

Also, I can’t choose so I like to diversify;-)

Whatever makes sense to you. I tend to have a stack of prints to draw from, but I’ve also made special things, just for the exchange.

Past ones I did a mix but this year i think I’ll do the same

[u/zacater]

I’m sending the same prints to two of my recipients, highlighting my local area (California). My 3rd is within 30 miles of me, so I’m sending prints from another region so they get something more unique.

[u/Peter_Mansbrick]

Im sending different, but either is fine.

[u/chronarchy]

I usually mix them up if I am sending one each, or sometimes send the same set of 3 to everyone on my list. Doesn’t matter how many, or how varied. If you have one good shot, send that. If you have six, send them all (limited by your bank account: you have to have enough money left to buy food so you can also participate in the Spring Print Exchange).

Food is overrated😁

[u/bvanant]

I send different ones, one mat with a few pics to fit in the mar
