Thank you cards

So my timeline says to send thank you cards after being married by June 29th. I wanted to wait for the professional pictures as I want to send cards with pictures on then but company says they take 4 to 6 weeks but thinking that may be to long. When should I order and send my thank you cards? Use...

When should I order and send my thank you cards? Use the phone upload photos I have or wait for professional ones to send thank yous.

    Girl I say do whatever it is that you want! Only YOU know your family and friends who attended your wedding. If you know that they aren’t going to care whether it’s handwritten or preprinted then do what you want. They are going to be happy regardless to get a nice thank you from you! Just because it’s rude to some doesn’t mean it’s rude to everybody else. I would care less if I got a preprinted thank you as long as it was meaningful and genuine

    Pretty much. Or go off topic of the question asked. Simple question that always goes a different way. Whatever I am married now that is what most important. If people don’t realize it’s the 21st century and there is technology for reasons like this to make life just a little easier then so be it. I don’t think none of DH family is that stuck up to get offended if it is not hand written. I wrote out all the bridal shower ones with my horrible hand writing.

    Girl, you do you. If you know something is rude and lazy and choose to go ahead with it, you are perfectly entitled to do so.

    I have bad handwriting, it really isn't an excuse. However, I think what's important is that the messages are individual and not a generic thank you to everyone...so if you wish to type out your letter, that should be fine but honestly I would be wary of that because I would feel you just left the name blank and gift blank. I would LOVE to type out my letters but it's not about convenience, its about showing people your gratitude.

    What is unequivocally ungracious is expecting people to come to your wedding and give you a gift and you send everyone the same thank you. And why would you ever risk being rude to any of your guests? Yes, some don't care, that is 100% true but you don't know which ones those are. I am a pretty chilled person, I don't live my life by etiquette and am more about the substance of a person but if I am going to take time out of my life and spend my hard earned money on you, I want a real thank you and I think it shows something about your substance if you're too lazy to take the time to give a personalized thank you. When I say "you" I mean the greater population, because it sounds as if you did write a personalized note for everyone but had it printed.

    Girl I say power to you. All I care about is that I’m married to my husband now. At the end of the day, the people who receive these thank you cards are either going to put them somewhere and misplace them, or look at it, think it’s sweet and then toss them in the trash can. It doesn’t matter if it’s handwritten or preprinted as long as it’s a thoughtful thank you card.

    What’s lazy to you isn’t lazy to others. Not everything has to be well thought out and hand written to show gratitude. My family and friends are going to love them if they are handwritten or preprinted. Everyone has different view points on things.
