My Bridal Shower Thank You cards - with Pics!

Finally took pics of my custom bridal shower Thank You cards!

I ordered a different card for each guest (through Zazzle - they came SUUUUPER quick!) and the design of the cover is meant to mimic the design of the bridal shower invitation.

Each card had a picture of me and the guest, and if there were other pics of that guest or of me opening their gift, I included it/them as a smaller picture.

For the guests that sent a gift but couldn't make it, I made a more general design with me in the center.

This is the poem I shamelessly stole from another LIWer (please remind me who it was so I can give her credit!), but I also hand wrote a personal note for each guest.

Everyone seemed to like them, so I'm happy I put so much time and effort into them

ETA: This is a pic of the shower invitation they sent out. I tried to make the thank you's coordinate with this.

So cute! I love how you did different versions, very efficient!

I basically created the background layer on powerpoint (just a blue background with the brown border and white polka dot border).

I uploaded that as a picture on zazzle.

Then I uploaded all the pictures I wanted to use, resized them, typed up the text, etc. When I was happy with how it looked, I added it to my cart.

Then, I would click on the card in my cart, change out the pictures to make it personal for each guest and keep adding each card to my cart and then choosing a card from my cart to make changes (instead of starting from SCRATCH for each one).

Still took a LOT of time, but it was the fastest way I found to make them the way I wanted.
