Kim Kardashian wanted Christmas cards featuring her and ex-husband Kris Humphries to be "perfect".

It has been revealed that the socialite pre-ordered a large amount of holiday cards adorned with images of her and Kris on their wedding day.

The couple were married in August this year, but sadly announced their divorce just 72 days later.

The wasted cards are an expensive mistake for the 31-year-old who asked for a wide range of designs and colours from the high-end stationer.

"Kim is a planner, and is obsessed with details, and a total control freak. She wanted her Christmas cards to be perfect, and she wanted at least 10 different choices of holiday cards, black and white, matted finish, you name it, Kim thought of it," a source close to Kim told RadarOnline.com. "The proofs were delivered to Kim in mid-September, and she conveyed to the owners of the company that she was very pleased with the results. Kim said she would get back to them with a final choice, but alas, she never did, for obvious reasons."

However, Kim is getting back to her normal self with the help of her loved ones.

The brunette beauty took to Twitter on Monday and announced that she was shooting an alternative Christmas card with her high-profile family.

"Shooting our family Christmas card today," she typed. "u guys will love our theme this year. Hanging w the fam is the best! Then off 2 see Rob dance!
