My husband and I are having a difficult time deciding wording for our thank-you notes. I want to say 95% of our gifts were cash. Looking online, it says that we are supposed to mention what we are using the money on in the thank-you cards. However, my husband and I already owned a home and were living together long before we got married. We will not be using any of the gift money on a "down payment for our first home" or for a coffee pot, china, or bed linens. We did not go on a honeymoon either, so we cannot say that we spent it snorkeling or anything. In all honesty, the money we received is going to pay toward what we spent on our wedding.
How exactly should we word these invites without giving specifics on what we spent the money on?? I find "thanks for the generous gift of money" to be too impersonal. Any advice?
