I had my shower yesterday and had such a great time, then when I checked my mail today, we had already received several response cards back! I'm so excited that through all the little frustrations I've had with planning and invitation wording and all the little things that go into weddings, it looks like it's all about to pay off and we're going to have an amazing day!!
I do have a TY question though - I got a lot of gift cards, and we're moving two weeks after the wedding so we're saving them all to see what we'll need in the new house. We rent, so we don't know exactly what space we'll be getting. Is it appropriate to write that we'll use the GC to decorate/outfit our new house instead of thanks for the card, we're going to get a new vacuum (or something else specific). I've always been told to thank the giver for a GC and then tell them what you're going to buy with it.
