We’re still waiting for our photos and since I wanted to send everyone a thank you with a picture of us at the wedding, our thank you notes are also overdue. This is definitely a lesson learned. Remember to be careful when reading your vendor contracts. I had no idea that it would take 2 months to receive our pictures! Anyway, I decided to use the time to figure out what we should do about our thank yous.

Because so many guests complimented us about our wedding music, I thought of making CD’s for them. Packaging for CD’s can be found online and several companies such as Beau-coup allow you to customize your own wedding labels.

In addition, there are a lot of gorgeous thank you cards that you can send with the CD’s. And if you’re going to use your website as a thank you website like I mentioned in my last entry, having a thank you card you can personalize is a great way to tell guests to revisit the website to view pictures from the wedding. Here is a sweet and modern thank you card that would match well with our wedding colors.

If you choose this card, it will perfectly match your wedding website, invitations and the rest of your stationery.
