We opened our gifts today. The wedding was last Sat. We were lightly talking about thank you's. I wanted to do photo thank-you's. They seem to more popular and acceptable. My MIL got rather bitchy about it and said that it's only acceptable to my generation and the older generation wouldn't like it. We had a photo booth at our wedding and it was huge hit. My Granny even rocked the pimp hats and was in the booth many times! My husband and I took a photo holding a "Thank You" sign. I wanted to use that photo and one or two more of us from the booth. I thought it would "fit" in with our wedding and people would enjoy it. My husbands sides with his Mom and insists that someone like his grandma would prefer hand written. And of course who is going to write these? Not him I'm sure! And to be honest I'd put a nice message on the photo card like "Thank you for sharing in our special day . . . " etc. etc. If I had wrote it I'd probably say the same thing. I don't really like listing the gift that was given in the thank you. Or is that something that is expected?? So what is the scoop? Am I wrong here? Would it be tacky to do a photo thank you? We aren't talking like 50 thank-you's, we had 400 people invited, so 150-200 thank-you's maybe. I'm not trying to be lazy here though. I really like receiving photo thank yous myself and it never offends me. I like seeing the photos. What do I need to do?
