Greek brides Help Please

I have to write a few thank you cards in Greek. Hoping someone can help.

Any ideas what to write???

(I've just realized my 11 years of Greek school was a huge waste..... )

Greek school was not a waiste but when u dont use it then ur mind tends to let go of it and make room for new stuff.
I know the other girls sent u stuff but let me know if u still need ore help

I hope you don't think I'm out of place saying this your idea is fine it's just that in Greek the second person in plural is different than the singular (not like english you - you) and as you would speak to people in the plural (used to show respect), the sentence you wrote would sound rude to a Greek person.

The correct form would be: Sas euxaristw pou hrthate sto gamo mas kai gia to dwro sas.

ronnysbride, if you would like something written in Greek or any other ideas FM me, I'd be pleased to help! I'm getting so many wonderful ideas of this site, I'd be glad to be able to offer some help back!
