Thank you card and photos after wedding

I like the idea of using your wedding photos on your thank-you cards! And I agree with Tyanna that it's better late than never to send out thank-you cards (since they need to go out!).

Timing doesn't matter for them, but sending them is important!! I would choose just 1 or 2 photos to send, maybe a few extras for immediate family

It is not too late to send a thank you card. ever. I get more mad that thank you cards don't get sent out vs late (I just think its rude not to send out a thank you after the wedding).

i recommend vista print. my friend took a photo. and did the postcard option (under marketing/business materials) because it was cheaper than a photo thank you card. and she wrote on the back her thank you. so then she didn't have to deal with envelopes.

Our photographer is doing the cards for us! But it's a combo with the photo we choose on the cover of the cards along with a thank you message printed on them!

We selected a favourite photo and used it for a photo thank you card to all our guests, plus we ordered our parents' favourites as an 8 x 10 for each of them. I didn't send anything to the vendors - we were pleased with most of them and conveyed our thanks on our wedding day, but beyond that I think payment for services and gratuity on top of the verbal thanks was enough

2 methods i have seen as recieved:

1. Photo card with a persinal message to the guest. This being provided by the photographer part of the contract.

2. Photos sent in the card to keep in a frame after rather than throwing it. My cousin sent group pictures to each family ensuring every household got one.

It's totally up to you if you want to use thank you notes with a wedding picture, or without one. It's never too late to send a thank you note, so if you have not sent them yet I'd absolutely go for it, and including a photo is a nice personal touch

Would you like our help in deciding what photo to use?

I'm not sure I will be asking my photographer to go around with us to get group pictures, it would probably take too much time when our guest list is set for 250. So since the photographer we are going to use is a friend of mine I will probably just spend a couple hours going through the unedited ones and tell her which one I look best in and send out that one

Thanks so much for your advice! Did you also print out guests' photos or group pictures and sent back to your guests?

For my wedding we are going to ask that our photographer gets a good picture of us edited asap so we can send the thank you cards out within the month - but if I wasn't doing that.... I would say that sending out the thank you cards could wait till for Christmas for me as well. I don't see people being upset about a late thank you card especially because of the Canada Post strike that we had.

It's too late for you to do this now, but I'll be requesting one "Next Day Edit" photo from my photographer, and ordering the thank you cards, with a wedding photo on the front, before we leave for our honeymoon the next day... that way they will be arriving just after we get back... (And still within the Vistaprint sale window)...

However, now that you have your photos, I would say first: It's never too late to send a thank you card... and not sending them, in my opinion, would be very rude... Since you are considering including a wedding photo, people will understand you needed to wait for those.

I suggest looking into Vistaprint... they have up to 50% off Christmas cards right now... but as you can see by the mock-up I did, you can edit/change text/photos, etc, so you'd never know it was originally a Christmas card... I used one of my engagement photos as an example, but that's where you'd include your favourite wedding photo of the two of you (preferably more close-up).

So like I said, currently 50% off, so 75 of these would be $68.50! A great deal. You can also have that inside text, a generic comment that will be on everyone's card, then leave space to write your hand-written portion that thanks the specific guest for the gift they gave you.

Thank You Card

I've been to a wedding where the couple got married in August and their thank you cards came out around Christmas/New Year's.

Most people will probably expect a delay in the thank you cards since it takes time to get photos back/go through gifts/go on honeymoon, etc.
