Thank You Cards: Is this tacky?

I was going to make our own design and then get them printed on a post card (Vista Print has it), and on back of it put a message that's already printed on, we'll sign them and send it. Keep in mind majority of my guests don't even expect a thank you card.

Ideally, don't want to put in envelopes...

What do you guys think?

umm.. eh. Kinda impersonal.

Why do your guests not expect thank you cards?

It's just something atleast from our culture (the area I'm from), people don't normally do thank you cards.

What if I did the post cards, and then did a personal message on them for everyone...but still did a postcard?

Maybe... im still kinda iffy on this one...

I totally hear you on the culture thing and that makes a lot of sense but I personally feel for such a big deal, for being part of such a big occasion every one should be writen out.. stamp, envelope - the whole presentation just looks nicer.. but thats just me...

Nay.

ETA: that would be too impersonal, especially for the people who do expect a thank you card.

Got it! Thanks ladies!

i don't think there's anything wrong with a personalized post card (ie: write something to each person) .... i actually like the post card idea

I don't think there's a problem with a postcard but I would write a personal note to each one of your guests.

we're doing thank you magnets, and plan on writing a little personalized message to each guest.

Agreed

i dont have any problem with the postcard (although it is a bit 'informal' if that matters to you), but I'd definitely write a personal note on the back, no matter waht.

Just curious, where are you from that it's not expected?

My bestie did a postcard for her thank yous...

Photo on one side, space for the note and the address on the other side - however, she did include a personal note and wrote 'love, katie & joe' in the address space... she put her postcards in envelopes since she didn't want the photo to get ruined in the mail, but it was really cute nonetheless.

She did a postcard STD also so it fit her style.

Yeah, I forgot about the whole postcard could get ruined in the mail. I think I might just go ahead and do a regular thank you card, get a nice envelope for them and voila. This way we can write specific messages to people.

I'm Albanian --- I'm sure certain regions it is expected, but atleast where my family and hubby's family are from, it's an unheard thing.
