We use a private Facebook group, since most of our older relatives are on FB already. There are some privacy concerns, but frankly, the ease-of-use for us and our relatives just outweighs that.

For relatives who don't have Internet access (just one at the moment), we use NanaGram.co for sending a monthly batch of photos by mail.

Are some of your older relatives not on FB? I've been looking at a way to subscribe people to a digital delivery of photos — we have a loose version of this via a weekly Saturday morning email you can subscribe yourself to (to see what siblings are uploading). It seems like it'd be nice to subscribe additional recipients to emails like these (weekly, monthly) maybe with a way to order their own prints. Do you think that's something you'd sign someone up for?
Sorry, missed this comment somehow!

> Are some of your older relatives not on FB?

Just one right now: my elderly grandfather who's 90-something now and losing his eyesight. He's the one we use NanaGram for. Digital delivery would not really work for him, since he doesn't own a computer.

For relatives that are on FB, that's how they get their photos. They don't request prints too often, but when they do, my wife usually uses Nations Photo Lab.

Thanks for sharing NanaGram. :)
