Hello Everyone (once again).I am going to make favors for my wedding reception, and put generalized thank you cards along with them (thanking them for their presence). I am going to send the personalized thank you cards of course, after.. like a week later. But since there are going to be ALOT (and enough) of empty thank you cards left, I was wondering if this was okay.. to you know, send out the same thank you cards? Just personally thanking everyone for the gifts.

yes, even if people notice they won't care. And there's no reason to throw them away, that would just be wasteful . but most will probably think there just a matching set.

Sorry but a bad idea. You should profusely thank them at the reception when you speak but save the cards for personalized communications. Hopefully, you can use them in a few years with friends and family.

Of course it's okay. No one ever minds hearing 'thank you'. But if you wanna minimize the card-sending, you can just give them their generalized thank-yous the reception, and then mail them a thank-you card for their gift. There is really no need to send personalized-thank-you cards for their presence after they have received a general thank-you at the reception. Don't worry, saying thank-you just once is adequate. No one will think you are rude. They will be happy just to get the first thank-you. Hope this helped! Smile Congratulations on the wedding!

Nobody would really notice, and if they did, then at least they would notice they match. No big deal, just good coordination ; )

Yes, I am not a card person, I have no desire to keep them forever, so I would just read it and toss it. There are others out there like me. Save yourself the money.

As long as you are writing a personal thank you also that is perfectly fine.

I don't think the generic thank you cards are necessary, but if you must have them, then yes, it's fine to send your personalized thank you cards on the same stationary. Just be sure to send them!And it doesn't have to be within a week. I'd say you have a good month to get those cards in the mail, especially if you're going on your honeymoon right after the wedding.

I think you should be fine! I doubt anyone would notice that its the same cards honestly. There's no need to spend extra money on something like stationery. And as previously stated, dont worry about getting the thank you cards out so soon. Most thank you cards get sent out up to 6months after the wedding, so dont go crazy trying to write those cards out the 1st week of your marriage when you should be enjoying the new married life! Congrats!
