Thank Yous!!! -- 19 days to go!

I'm all about a personalized, handwritten thank-you note. It takes about two minutes, and that seems like the least a gift recipient can do. If I spent my time selecting, buying, and wrapping a gift (or choosing a card and writing a check to put in it) and then attending your shower and/or wedding, I think you can make the time to write me a thank-you note. It's just my personal opinion, but a generic printed thank-you note is incredibly tacky, and kind of insulting in my book.

EDT: as the recipient, I don't care about a photo card; I'm perfectly happy with a sweet handwritten note on a basic thank-you card that can be purchased in a box of 50 for $5.

We did the same thing! We sent out handwritten thank you notes as soon as we got back from our honeymoon. We wanted our thank you notes to be post marked either the same day or just before we deposited any checks we received as a gift.

I can't force myself to send out generic "thank yous" even with an enormous wedding in front of me. You can TOTALLY handwrite your thank yous! I think that makes them feel way more personal and grateful.

FH and I planned on waiting until we got our photos back to do a personalized thank you postcard. Black Friday is about three weeks after our wedding, and we should have our photos back by then. I'll hand write them all and send them out as I get them done.

We are going to use the sneak peak photos from our wedding for thank you. It will match our wedding invites. I would try to get them out in 30 days after wedding. Always personalized - even cash. Thanks so much for coming and your generous gift my honey and I are using the money to buy a new couch. Etc.
