Thank you notes- is this idea tacky?

I love this idea. I think its very unique and would be so much more personal than just cookie cutter store bought thank you cards.

I think postcards from your honeymoon is a great idea!

I think the idea is interesting, for sure. As far as being tacky- I think it could go either way depending on the postcard. But since most people forget the handwritten thank you notes- I'd say go for it!

Nice! You may want to use first class stamps on them instead, if you use 2nd class (typical postcard rate) it will take longer, which might be longer than you want people to wait! But that's a wonderful idea!

Can you get the postcards in a package or bundle? Usually postcards don't cost that much, but it might add up depending upon how many guests you have.

I think it is a unique idea though!! I usually just throw away the thank you after I read it, people might keep the postcards longer!

I think its a cosmic idea. What better thank you than something MORE personal... especially from your honeymoon!~ I say go for it... and if you want to send one to me.. Id be tickled pink for a week! I agree with Katy people will probably keep the post card longer!

Great idea!

I think that's a great idea! Whenever I get a postcard, it goes on my fridge for awhile!

I love it! A Hawaiian theme does not sound formal, so I think the postcards would be fine.

I like it!

I love this idea and I may steal it from you and send postcards from the Bahamas and write them out while I'm on the ship.

Sounds like a GREAT idea. Very unique, and I personally would be thrilled to get a postcard thank you note. It would never cross my mind as being "tacky" The thoughtful, handwritten note is the important part anyway.

I think that would be a great idea...i personaly save postcards but throw away most thank you's, unless they are personal...

I think that is a great idea and will steal it as well (for some guests only, other will get thank you notes).

I think what makes this a great idea is that you would get them where you went on your honeymoon. Especially if you pick one with great scenery, it could be really pretty.

Yes, less formal, but almost more personal in a way.

if you have some older and more traditional relatives, it might be nice to do the actual thank you card (or both...thank you card and then a postcard with a short *thinking of you* note)

I think it is a great idea...i think that people will think that is very creative and they will feel more special that you were thinking about them during your honeymoon!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic idea! No matter how 'formal', a personalized note from the heart with some thought and meaning is ALWAYS more appreciated!!

I like it!

I don't know how many postcards you have to write, but don't forget to enjoy your honeymoon! I think this is a great idea, but I can totally see myself trying to get all the thank yous done and not relax at the honeymoon. heheh.

Thanks everyone for the great responses and ideas...I appreciate it! I think we are going to go for it. we are having a decent sized wedding, about 200 people- but this is so much more our personality than formal cards (I'm a graphic designer, so I think most of our friends and family are used to us doing things a little outside of the box). The plan is to pick up a few from each place we visit. Will let you know how it goes!
