let's say you're a bride
one of your BMs is a fabulous invitation vendor 
who's doing your wedding invitations and already completed the ones for your bridal shower. you love the design and motif used in said invitations a LOT. heh.
FF to the shower. you open the gift from this BM, and along with something frilly and crotchless and totally embarrassing but funny as hell, there's a pretty little package of matching thank-you notes all tied up in a pink ribbon.

Re: let's say you're a bride
Special snowflake. What if the bride already had plans to do a photo TY card? She might feel awkward since she wouldn't want to offend her friend by not using the cards.
Is the design something that could be used for non-wedding purposes?
i guarantee you 1000% that this is not the case. but to answer the other question, yes, they could definitely be used for other purposes. it's a vague enough design that could be carried over into other occasions warranting thank-you notes. hell, they probably won't say "thank you" anyway - that makes it better, yes?
Even if I had been planning on photo TY cards, if I got free TY cards in a beautiful design, I would chuck the idea of photo cards in a second. Free always wins.
I voted #1
In that case, definitely A.
This. I feel like it'd spoil the "surprise" factor or whatever if the other guests have seen the ty cards.
Ditto this.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
If I were a person at the shower (obviously not the bride) I doubt I would actually pay attention to the TY cards. So, when I would receive the TY later on, I probably would have completely forgot about seeing them already.
I voted for the first one. They're free. You know she already likes the design. And she doesn't have to go pick out TY card. Less hassle for the bride.
I am big into stationary so it probably would not excite me that much though it would be appreciated because someone put so much time and effort into it. However it would not be a gift I would be able to appreciate that long because it would be gone once I sent out my thank you notes. There would be other things I would be more excited about. I was appreciative of everything everyone got me for my shower and did not expect anything.
A~ absolutely!
From the moment we announced our engagement...we began receiving cards, and gifts. I immersed myself so deep into the realm of stationary...I couldn't put an end to buying the stuff....$$$
I have gifted a few of my newly-engaged friends with my fav Ty sets. hopefully they don't take offense to this. privately, though. regardless, they have to write 'em. so i have no regrets. At my shower, my guests had 0 attention span, i doubt they would have even noticed. or remembered it.
