    Hey everyone,

    So I want to do thank you cards for everyone after the wedding, and was just wondering what is the norm? Do you tend to buy them or make your own? I'm quite tempted to make some ourselves using our photos...

    Do people tend to do proper folded cards or just postcards? It will save me a lot if I just have postcards as I wouldn't have to buy envelopes or anything then and could just print one side, but does that look cheap?

    help! x

    We are intending on making ours, we are going to get a photo taken with us holding the words thank you on chalk boards (or something similar)
    I dont think its cheap to have postcards at all, just not sure i'd want the postman to see my photo :)

    There are so many people out there who will tell you
    what you can't do.
    What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

    We will be doing something similar to Nicsquared. Whether we do something with the photo ourselves or get the photographer to will be dependant on money once we are back from honeymoon. Photographer has offered to take a pic of us holding a blank sheet and put in individual messages for us

    In love the ones with photos of the bride and groom holding 'thank you' signs. When my friend did hers, she printed a copy of a photo of each person/couple from the wedding and stuck that to the front of a folded card so every person got a very individual thank you card. I got mine for free, got a special offer from vista website and just have folded cards with simple design, saying 'thank you', our names and our wedding date.

    Or another option is a postcard so buy lots when you go on honeymoon or postcodes of the area you got married in and send them out... save you an envolope too xx

    Im making my own thank you's with plain ivory cards, an ink stamp (same as i used for my wish tags) tree with birds on, but i will be adding tiny jewels to the tree.
    Our photograpy package includes 100 black & white prints 5x7" so i will be asking if they can somehow try to get candid shots of the guests, particulartly couples together for us to insert into the cards too as an extra thankyou x

    i was thinking of getting our photographer to add thank you cards into our package, but i'm loving the idea of postcard! might have to run that by h2b and see what he thinks. We might be having a booth type set up thing in the evening so we could hold a chalk board saying thank you on it :) although perhaps taken earlier in the evening before the drinks are flowing too much lol x

    We are having the lady that made our invitations make them, along the same theme as the invitation....and I like the idea of having a picture of each individual person with me and H2B on it...makes it very personal.

    We got a load of copies of our 'Vegas Sign' photo done and made our thank you cards. Everyone loved them and it was by far the cheapest way of doing it - we signed up to a certain photo website and got 40 free 6x4 prints so I did this and hubby did this and we got the number we needed by doing so!

    Aw good ideas very true about everyone seeing picture on postcard! I've looked online and you can buy quite nice cream A6 envelopes so think I'm gonna get some postcards done and put them in the envelope. Don't think the thank you sign is very us lol a bit cheesy maybe haha!

    Heya, we did the same, just had 'Thank You' and our names on the front of the card and then the back was blank (we had postcard thank yous) for us to write our own message.

    We just wrote something like: Thank you so much for celebrating our special day with us and for your generous gift. We had such a ball on the day and we hope you did too. It was wonderful to see you both and we look forward to catching up with you soon.

    For people who gave an actual gift as opposed to money we said something like; Thank you for celebrating our special day with us and for the lovely vase. We have it on our mantlepiece and it looks gorgeous.

    Just keep it simple, you know? And speak from the heart. For us personally we DID have a ball at the wedding and we hoped our guests did too!
    their are thousands of thank you cards designs to choose from, have a look at this
