Thank you card help?

By "certainly don't speak it" I meant that I'm pants at languages and while I have picked up some due to my Italian upbringing... I am no where near capable of writing a single sentence in Spanish

I would have the cards written in Spanish. If DS isn't available to translate, would an in-law or friend? If you can't get a translation in the next few weeks/months, could you get something generic written now and send something more personal later? I'm thinking you can even go to a card store and look at the Spanish cards and copy messages from there. There are also some free translation services on the internet, but they tend to translate verbatum, so the sentence structure is off.

If a guest doesn't speak English, then yes, I think you should have your DS write the note in Spanish--but if they speak English, I think it's better to get the note out quickly than to translate it.

I think your Spanish speaking friends and family would very much appreciate your efforts to communicate with them in their language. However, I think it would be faster and more personalized to write them out, not print them. Thank you cards should be hand written so they appear to come more from the heart.

I'm going to go out on a limb here- since they are spanish speakers, and you are not- I would assume they are FH's guests. He can write the thank you notes for them... Problem solved.
