Wedding Um... how much do your thank you cards

[xiuying]

Hiya!

So, I got married (yay!) and am trying to tackle this task of writing thank you cards. I''m mostly following the format of...

"Dear Awesome Person @ Wedding,

Thank you for coming!

Thank you for the gift!

Have a great year!

Love, Me."

However... a lot of my thank yous are starting to sound the same. Very much the same. I find myself actually copying almost word for word the first paragraph. There''s only so many wedding memories I can talk about...

How bad is it if all of my thank you cards are exactly the same for parts of it? Do people call each other up and compare these? Gah! Maybe I''m paranoid, but what did you gals / guys do?

Many of mine were similar, but I did try to inject something particular about each guest or gift in them. Like "thanks so much for the coffeemaker! Asher and I will think of you every morning when we are enjoying our coffee!!"

Or a particular memory from the wedding "I.e., it was so funny when Grandpa Joe fell asleep in his soup at your table! Let''s hope next time we all get together we can keep him awake". Just SOMETHING so they sound a bit less generic. But the format was always the same for me.

I''m fairly new at all of this wedding stuff and have never recieved a thank you card. However, if I were to recieve one, i''m positive that I wouldn''t be showing it to anyone. So try not to be too paranoid. Remember, mostly it''s the thought that counts.

I have grandparents that like to sit their cards out on display that they receive in the mail. So I just make sure that my cousins who live in the same town as my grandparents and go to each other''s houses a lot don''t get the exact same cards. Otherwise, my grandparents across the state aren''t going to be calling the other ones to ask about the card, so no big deal. Just make sure they''re personal regardless and the thought comes from your heart.

Each card doesn''t necessarily have to be worded differently at all, especially if they''ll never be seen.

All mine sounded similar. There are only so many ways to say thank you.

Ditto. Mine all started the same and then I tried to put something unique in each one.
