Thank You Notes Question

I might be over thinking this a little. We already have thank you cards printed up that we are using for our wedding gifts. They are from our engagement session. Is it ok to use these for shower gifts too or should those be separate looking thank you cards? The Wedding ones do not specifically say thanks for attending the wedding or anything.

    As long as they aren't pre-printed with "Mr. and Mrs." then you should be fine to use them.

    The bolded part makes me think you aren't handwriting your thank you cards, but rather printing them off so they all say the same thing. Please tell me this is wrong. Please?

    no no no, i think she means the outside of the card.

    personally, i used seperate ones for the shower then from the wedding, i got generic 'thank you' cards for the shower, then we did a photo where we held a 'thank you' sign and got thank you cards with the photo on them. it was a fun thing to send out after the wedding :)

    I personally think it would be weird to get two of the same picture thank you cards.  I display/save cards for a while, especially if they have a photo on them, so I would probably still have your shower TY note when I received your wedding TY note.  I would use a generic TY note for your shower gifts and save the e-photo ones for wedding gifts. 

    My shower hostess got me TY notes that matched the shower invites, so I used those for shower gifts, and we have TY notes that match our invites for wedding presents (before we received the printed notes, we just used generic TY cards for early wedding gifts).

    No, by printed i mean they say Our first names and our wedding date at the top and we bought some wood letters at Michaels that spell out thank you and there is a picture of the words thank you with us off to the side. The actually thank you writing part is blank.

    @jessicabessica - That is what I was thinking, I just was not sure what was the norm,
