I have to do the dreaded task of thank you cards and am reading that proper etiquette is to personally write your thank you card which should be handwritten and include the specific gift. However with almost 400 guest I think it will be close to impossible to do this (unless I work on them for a year). If you got a printed thank you card that wasn't personalized to you would you be insulted? Do you think I should actually write them out?
Yeah, I feel like they should be hand-written. 400 guests would mean about 200 ty's. If most people give $$ then 'your (very) generous gift' should suffice.

I know it stinks, but I think they should probably be handwritten. I think I'd be insulted if I received one of those preprinted ones. Maybe DH can help? I havent been able to get my FH to write thank yous, but maybe you'd have better luck than I.
If I got a generic ty card i would be offended. i realize it's a daunting task but ettiquette says you have a year to get them out. Make a plan to do so many in a weekend and you can potentially get them done in a month!
Take the time to personalize them. Just come up with a system: If u have each gift written down with who it was from and have the addresses ready. You can do a good amount each night. Maybe u can ask your BP for help also.

I think the ty cards should be handwritten. But whose says you cannot get a card with pre-printed information on it and you can just add a line or two to personalize each one. That can alleviate some of the pressure of writing a full card for each person.
YES!
