i know we (as the brides) don't know when our shower will be, but my mom actually had a great idea. she bought a bunch of thank you cards and had me fill them out now, that way she can attached the to the favor. end result....no need to mail out thank yous later.
just wanted to share

So they aren't personalized like 'Thank you for the blender.' Each card will just be general?

yeah, but i actually found a really cute note:
One thank you for the gift, and another for the thought.
A dozen thank yous couldn't tell you all the happiness they brought.
i actually finished them off today...40 of them and apparently they aren't enough

I think it's kind of tacky to not make a personalized thank you card. No offense!

I agree.
And yes, it was a chore. And it took forever. But people went out of their way to buy something for me they thought we would like (even if it came off the registry), the least I could do is take a few minutes to write them a note thanking them for it and for coming to the shower.
Sorry.

Re: bridal shower idea..
My family is very old fashioned. They would NOT go for this at all
My mom gets insulted when they do the 'please put your address on the envelope' thing at showers now. She feels like she took the time to get a nice gift, drive to the shower and spend the day celebrating with the bride/Mom to be, how hard is it for them to write out a nice thank you without her help.
If you have open-minded family, this would totally work, however my family would talk smack about me if I did that. The were all insulted that my sister in law didn't include a photo with her wedding thank yous!

Its a cute idea, but I feel people like when you personalize things. They went out of the way and bought you a gift and attended a shower, the least I can do is send them a personalized thank you note. I just finished writing 130 thank you notes for my shower. It was worth the time and effort.

yea, although it's an AWESOME idea, i feel that people would get offended....just like some of us don't want to open the gifts b/c it's so boring.....but we kinda 'have to'
