I sent mine out last week and already got some really great comments and even some cards BACK thanking me for the quick response!
For those of you with people who sent in gifts but didn't come, I sent some informal thanks to people who sent us gifts before the wedding, and then followed up with a favor (the wedding CD) and the formal thanks. People loved getting something from the wedding and felt apart of the day.
I also used Winkflash (thanks PrincessP) for their 3x5 photos and people have said they love the 'larger' shot as opposed to the wallets. It was so cheap on Winkflash (with discounts it was under 10 cents each) so I totally recommend!
HTH!
Happy Memorial Day!

wait... what pics did you use? Pro shots? I'm confused. Did your photographer link your proshots to Winkflash? Did you save $$ by not getting thank you photos from your photographer? (thanks for the advice, by the way!)

No prob. I used Silverfox, which gives you all your proofs. Instead of having them print it out, I did it myself (and they are cool with that!). But even if you just have your proofs, you could always scan them and print out pics that way.
Winkflash's quality is awesome!

sorry for the late response, but yes, I did with the borders and matte. the ones without borders sometimes weren't cut as well (you could see a little white left over). The borers looked nice!

Thanks Leese!
I just got my thank you cards in (my wedding was 3 weeks ago), I think i am losing my mind writing them out. I am trying to be 'personal' but it's hard with 100 cards!

Re: My Thank You Card Advice!
Great advice Leese. I was thinking about when I should send TY's to people who will not be attending but sent a gift already. So I think I may just send an informal TY followed up with the official TY. I am sending favors home that night with those who live near the gust.
