Wedding Thankyou Wording - Urgent Help

[flamebat]

I'm in need of help!

Trying to make my wedding thankyou cards, and we want a standard something written inside that we can just print and stick in.

No inspiration here though

Could do with including an apology for the appalling lateness of the cards (wedding was end of May ).

PLEASE lovely mumsnetters - any ideas?

Our wedding day was made very special by you being there. Also we would like to thank you for the lovely toaster/electric blanket/carving knife (YKWIM).

From Doris & Ethelbert

Do you intend writing something personal on the insert too? I really think you should...

PMSL! You have been told, FB - watch out for that dragon tail too

Flamebat, you have to write your thank yous by hand, you nutcase. Just write the same thing over and over, but don't print it out, FGS!

It was my mum that said we should be printing something!!

Some people do print things and write extra bits too. I wrote all mine - I'm a gobby moo (can you tell?!)

mother, grandmother, great auntie Dot, you've got to write a thank you by hand. no ifs, ands or buts!

Actually I agree with the others about writing it by hand. It is personal and if the rson reading it sees that it's printed, THEY KNOW, that you printed it out and put toaster/electric tin opener etc.

Tis ok, pointed out to my mum that you were all giving me stern looks, and she decided that maybe I'd been right in the first place! I had said I was writing them, she told me I should be printing them, and I decided that she'd been to more weddings to me, so probably knew more

Mothers, eh, FB - what do they know?

I thnk that you could get away with making a printed insert with a phrase printed on it, but then add something underneath in hand writing.

At the top print "With many thanks for the wonderful gift" and then underneath write yourself - "we've use the furry handcuffs every day since, and it was lovely too see you at the weedding, we had a fantastic day. Thanks again, Ethel and Sid"

oh go on, put exactly that

You're obsessed with Ethel and Sid!!!

One that could be a genuine insert (DH's work mates) "Thankyou for the pleasure of your company at our wedding. We were delighted with our set of plates and cutlery that you nicked from the staff canteen over several months for us, it was a welcome addition to our kitchen!" DH has interesting friends...

Actually, the main thing is to get them written and sent! (ahem)

Yes, I'm not one for wedding etiquette but I do think the Thank You cards have to be hand-written. Otherwise you might as well do a mailmerge - or even email your thank yous, surely the worst of the worst

If I could have emailed the bloody things then they would have got em on time!
