So my photographer included thank you cards in our photo package and they finally arrived a couple weeks ago. I’ve addressed ones to everyone who attended the wedding, but I’m not sure if I should send a card to the handful of invited guests who could not attend but sent a gift. I absolutely want to thank these people for their generosity in some way, but our cards are printed on photo card stock paper and include a printed message on the inside that says, in part, "thank you for being a part of our wedding.” The nit-picky part of me says this wouldn’t make sense to send to the guests who didn’t attend because they weren’t exactly a part of the wedding itself since they weren’t there.
What should I do? Do I just send the pre-printed card? Do I buy a few generic thank you cards in the store and handwrite a personal message thanking them for their gift? My mother thinks the people would prefer to have the printed version that includes a couple of photos of me and my husband from the wedding, but I’m just hung up on the wording being wrong.
