Answer 1

While I don't think it'd be considered rude, I think personal thank you card's would be more appreciated.

Answer 2

no...

Answer 3

They are nice, but I would write a personal note on the back of them.  

Answer 4

Most guests like to receive a personal handwritten Thank You for the gift they took the time to select, wrap and give you on your special day.

Best wishes.

Answer 5

Not at all. I think I like those because its a little different than the typical thank you.

  

Answer 6

I got married 3 weeks ago and I am going to send out the thank yous with our picture on them.  I don't think it's rude at all.  Actually I think most people will appreciate it because then they have a nice picture of you done by the photographer.  I plan on doing formal thank yous to certain people, like the parents, attendants, grandparents, etc.  Also, writing thank yous is a waste because most people will throw them out after a while.  

The thank yous on the website are beautiful!! Those are better than what I wanted, good idea!!

Answer 7

you dont have to say thank you for a thank you

Answer 8

It's a thank you send them,  

Answer 9

i honestly do not think its rude because after your wedding ur not really going to have time to sit down and write thank you cards to 300 people. Or i think you can write thank you cards to the relatives that you think will get upset if they dont get a PERSONAL thank you card.  

Answer 10

I don't like it. How will people know you received their gift. I had a close friend give me a glass bowl for a gift. It was kind of cheap but I appreciated it, sent her a thank you and forgot about it. A week later she calls up and asks if I got the $100 check in a separate envelope. I didn't. It was lost or stolen. She only knew this because she didn't see it mentioned in the thank you note. Just something to consider.  

Answer 11

No I dont think so--the cards are pretty!

Answer 12

those are awesome...you're cool with it. If you think there is some that may be "offended" then write a little note on their cards.

Answer 13

As some others have said - yes, this would be rude. These are your guests at one of the biggest days in your life. The very LEAST you can do is sit down and write them a brief note on a thank you card, thanking them for sharing your day. Anyone who gave you a gift also deserves a personal thank you, mentioning the gift received and how much you are looking forward to using it or what you plan to do with it.

I get annoyed after showers when I receive thank you cards in an envelope that I addressed (under the guise of some silly gift game). This is just another silly timesaver to convince a bride that the basics of proper social etiquette are no longer needed.

Answer 14

those are sweet. is it something you can write a personal note in/on the back? that's the only thing that may be missing.  I included a wedding photo in my thank-you notes though.  

Answer 15

Depends on who you're sending them to. I received one from my best friend who I helped out with various things throughout the day that didn't have a personalized not or anything. I wasn't impressed. It would have been different if something would have been written on the back of the card, but there was nothing.

Answer 16

Man if only I could've found this after my wedding.  I dont think it's rude.  Im sure people will understand you have alot on your plate and wont take it personal.

Answer 17

i dont think it it would be but people might prefer if you did personal

Answer 18

No it's not rude... unless it's instead of sending a personal thank you note for gifts received. In that case, yeah, it's rude. People take the time to figure out what to give you, wrap it, send it... they should have a little bit of your time in return for a personal thank you. If you write thank you notes the same day you open presents, it goes a lot faster and you'll be done in no time. Plus, the groom can always help!

Best wishes!

Answer 19

I think that those are darling, those are perfect and they will be just fine

Answer 20

Actually, I think these are perfect! Think about it, they are your family and friends. They know who you are, and they know that you love them and truly appreciate their gifts. If someone you are very close with gave you something very special then you can make an exception for them and write a personal thank you. Just because Martha Stewart has time to write out a TON of thank you notes, doesn't mean you have to. You shouldn't feel bad about it. It is a very sweet thank you card and they won't know that everyone had the same one. Besides, the best thank you I have ever gotten was in person. So send them this card and when you see them tell them how much you are enjoying your gift. It will mean more.

I hope that helps!! :)    

Answer 21

Think about it, you drive 100 miles to a wedding, spend $75 on a room for the night, plus the cost of the gift, that you spent weeks trying to find, and all you get it a picture. Rude. You don't need to be wordy, a simple "The thingy you gave us is perfect, thanks again."  is all you need to do, yes it is a pain, yes it is time consuming, but it's the right thing to do, and you won't alienate your loved ones.

Answer 22

Not rude, but lackluster. And you don't want to be that girl, do you? Send personal thank-you letters. People don't mind if they're not diligently personalized, it's the fact that you sat down with a pen and wrote to them that will make them smile. It'll make you smile, too, to write them. Writing some of them will make you grimace, of course, but that's half the fun of the thing. Remembering everyone in turn, warts and all. Also, you don't have to write them all at once. Just do a handful every couple of days and drop that handful in the mail. It's good of you to question sending pre-printed cards. It also makes it clear that you aren't going to go that route, anyways. Cheers, sister, and have fun (and un-fun, but that's part of the excellence of the thing) with the coolest relationship ever invented!

Answer 23

This is basically a form letter, except with photos and a prettier typeface.  It's shocking that any couple would be such egomaniacs to think that a picture of themselves is an adequate substitute for a written thank you note.

Answer 24

no. nobody likes writing out indiviual thank yous so i think they'll understand

Answer 25

Those are lovely cards, but yes, I do think it is impolite to send out generic, pre-printed thank you's.  At the least, write a little something on the back.  Guests want to know you not only appreciate their gift, but that you actually received it - which is why you need to specify the gift in the thank you.  

I love getting wedding thank you's that are a simple card, handwritten message with a photo inside.  That makes it much more personal.

Answer 26

I am in my 20's and newly married...I would be completely offended if I took my time and used my hard earned cash to gift someone...and they could not even take two minutes to write out a short, personal thank you.
