Wedding Thank you Cards...HELP!!!

Tara, on September 17, 2012 at 9:10 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13

I want to know suggestions for thank you cards and where i should go. I was thinking about putting one of our pictures on the front of a the thank you cards but don't how that will come off to people and also a generic saying to put inside or outside the card as well. I still plan on writing a personalized message for each card but still want a nice thank you message. Is a picture of us too much as the cover of the card/note or should i just do something like monogrammed initials with a nice background pattern and the date and then a thank you message on the inside. I was also thinking using vista print or kinkos/fedex to have the cards printed

    We used shutterfly to make folding photo cards. On the front there was script saying "Thank you from the new Krisalicious and H Lastname" and then we just wrote our personal message on the inside.

    The quality was great! And people love photos! We even printed snapshots of guests at the wedding and tucked them inside the cards, it was a big hit. Smiley smile

    Everybody loves pictures. Smiley smile

    We had taken a pic with our thank you banner and used those as our thank you notes. People totoally loved it. I think if you want to use a pic u love and personalize it at walmart they have multiple thank you card options people will love it.

    Thank you Angie and Krisalicious. I was nervous about using a photo but now I feel more confident.

    My sister used a pic of her and her DH in a boat on the water. On the back of the card it was the two of them sitting on the dock with their backs to the camera. Wicked cute. I loved it.

    My FH and I are doing the traditional...we had a local copier make up Thank you notes that matched our invitations.

    My sister used Kodak

    Hope this helps Smiley smile

    I plan on using a picture card or at least inserting a photo into the card. My mom recently received a thank you card with a photo on the front and she was impressed (brought it out to show me because I guess she had never seen it before.) I think most guests love to see/have a pro photo of you guys.

    We did a flat card with a photo on the front and back with room on the back for a personalized message. Honestly, it's been 4 months since our wedding and every time I talk to my in laws, they tell me how they still keep hearing comments about how nice our thank you cards were.

    First photo is the front and second is the back.

    Our photographer just emailed us a bunch of choices and designs for our thank you cards. We decided on a nice pic of us on a bench that says "Thank You H & Tiffany-August 8, 2012". It is only costing us $1/card and we are getting 80 of them.

    We did a photo postcard with a pic from the wedding and had thank you printed on the bottom. I ordered mine from Zazzle. I love the postcard because they are cheaper to mail and the note section is smallers = less writing required! Smiley smile People loved them - especially people that sent us gifts but didn't make it to the wedding, they loved seeing/having a picture from our day. I think I paid $35 for 50 postcards.

    Thank you everyone! You were all very helpful. I ordered 3 x 5 folded thank you cards from shutterfly. I put 3 pics on the front with our names and wedding date and had a nice generic message and thank you printed in the inside to go with the personal messages that we write to everyone. I will post a pic when I get them.

    I had the same experiance as MrsO. We used VP postcards with a wedding pic on the front. The back was blank so that we could write our personal thank you's. Everyone appreciated that they received a pro pic from the wedding and loved them.
