Our wedding has come and gone and it was amazing. Of course, with the day gone, it's time to decide what to do for thank you card, and I'm very curious to see, etiquette-wise, what everyone here thinks of as appropriate?
For more context - we sent all of our invitation information online. Save the dates, actual invitation, bus transfer details - all done online.
A week or so after the wedding we sent out a blanket email to all our guests thanking them for their generosity - both in spending the day with us, and their gifts, and telling them how much we enjoyed ourselves and how important they were to that. We also mentioned that we would reach out again when our photos were ready, with a link to the gallery.
Now, here is where I have a few thoughts. A few couples whose weddings we attended last year have recently given us printed postcards with handwritten thank you notes on the back, making reference to our exact gift. Some also included an envelope with a printed photo or two of us from the wedding which we put on the fridge. I thought this was really nice.
But...is it necessary? These seem to be given out by hand and many of our guests are interstate so this wouldn't be possible for us - especially since, having done all our invitations online, we've never collated addresses. I am also wondering whether you would you do this for all guests, or just those who you are particularly close to and who perhaps gave the most generous or thoughtful of gifts.
I guess I'm wondering how much thanking is necessary, and what would be perceived as rude. I'm aware there will be a range of answers on this, and would prefer that whatever we do sits somewhere in the middle - we'd hate to cause offense unintentionally!
Adding a pic from our thank you card, just to break up this wall of text, lol.
