Wedding Thank you cards!
So I sent the dareful and long task of hand written thank you cards to my guests within the first two months of the wedding. However I have gotten some complaints from some of the guests because I did not add a picture in the thank you card.
I did not added a picture because I did not see it as a big deal... but looks like for some people it is... What should I do? I wonder if other guests feel the same way...
Should I print a picture from the professional album and send them to the whole guests list?
I need opinios and recommendations
Thanks all
Re: Wedding Thank you cards!
People want thank you cards promptly and they want a picture? I thought it took a while to go through the albums, pick out pictures and order them. Then thank you cards would be out later than they'd like. Do you do Christmas cards? I don't think I put them in the Thank you cards, but I put them in the Christmas card. Or I would just hand them out at a family party over the summer
Did they actually complain, or did they just say that they'd like a picture? People have no right to complain about a prompt, thoughtful thank you card.
And personally, I think pictures in thank you cards are a waste. Close family and friends will probably be sent links to your pro pics, and/or may get prints from you. The other people at your wedding probably don't need your picture. We've gotten lots of pictures in thank you cards from people we're not really close to and I've thought to myself "Um, what am I expected to do with this?" I don't think that my entire wedding guest list would want a photo of me for posterity...
So I'd just let it be.
If they complain about a thank you card, I would quickly strike them out of my address book and never send them anything else. Ever.
"Requiring" pictures with thank you's is a very old school New York thing. My parents are like your guests - they get mad if they don't get a picture. Not that they do anything with the picture except put it on their fridge for a few months and then toss it. But if they don't get a picture, they complain -
"Did you get so and so's thank you? Can you BELIEVE there was no picture?? What is wrong with them? That is so tacky!" I don't know that they would go so far as to complain to the person's face, but they will certainly complain behind their backs.....
IMO, if you send pictures your guests will need to wait longer than 2 months. Our last thank you's went out 6 months after the wedding - it took us two months just to get the pictures and pick our faves, then we had to order the cards (we did photo cards) and write them all.....So, people will either complain that your thank you's were late, or complain that there was no picture :-)
Do a photo card for your Christmas card and that will shut people up.
