| I googled it for some suggestions, but I dont like any of them..... what did you guys write? and did you send a Thank you to guests that came, but never gave a gift? we only have 75 thanks you's.... and need at least 100.... we're thinking those that didnt give us a gift, wont get the professional thank you...but a copied photo that we'll get done at blacks or something.
 I have the perfect family!!!!

| We wrote a personal TY for each gift we received and printed a small photo (that was actually taken by a friend). For gifts of cash or gift cards we used an example, i.e. 'Thank you for your generous gift. It will be helpful in completing our dream set of kitchen appliances/china/anything house related/was a wonderful night out on our honeymoon' - depending on where the GC was for. Found GREAT TY cards at Michael's and went for one of the 50% off coupons - nice and simple. We found that writing 10 or so a night was a managable number - otherwise we got bored/lacked creativity.

| Every guest that came should receive a personalized thank you regardless of if they brought a gift or not. Did you specify on the invitation: "presence only welcome if you bring a gift" (I would hope not!) These thank you's should be hand written instead of pre printed "thank you's" with a crappy little thank you message that really convey's you weren't thankful at all.. and couldn't even spend the little effort to write a proper thank you. Finally these thank you's should be sent out within the month of the wedding. No excuses. My husband and I wrote our thank you's on the plane ride home and had them in the mail the next day. To save time I pre printed the address labels before the wedding, so all I had to do was write the thank you and pop it in the already addressed envelope. If I get a thank you note months later after the wedding.. I am more offended than feel thanked.. I couldn't of cared less at that point if they sent one at all.. I know how truly thankful they are at that point. I should also add that we have had comments made to our parents about how wonderful our thank you cards were.. and how people didn't know that this new generation knew how to write a proper thank you card anymore. We wrote at least a page to our guests recalling some special memory with them, and how thankful we were for their presence at the wedding first and foremost, and also for their generous gift. Thank you notes go a long way.. and in my opinion are EXTEMEMLY important.

| we gave everyone a picture thank you card, but made a personal note for everyone too. An example was: We want to thank you very much for coming to share in our special day. It was great to see you again, and we really appreciated the gorgeous quilt that you made for us. We know how much thought and work went into it, and that makes it extra special. It has already found a home on our bed.
Thank you again for your generosity, Jim and Crys

I have to disagree with your point about the thank you's being sent out a month after no excuses... DH and I waited for our thank yous to include one of our professional wedding pictures in it. We were married in Novemebr and the thank you pics were received from the photographer in early July and all mailed out this week. We were waiting for the rpinter to print the pictures, we weren't being rude at all. but everyone is entitled to feel what they want right.
ABC--I just wrote a special note saying thank you for joining us as we started our new life together, and mentioned how appreciative we were for their presence and their generous/thoughtfulness in regards to their gift.

I have the perfect family!!!!
