Good morning,
So i'm trying to figure out how to word our thank you cards. I wanted something short and sweet on the inside but i'm not sure what to write especially when i'll be sending thank cards to people that couldn't make it and sent gifts/$, like i couldn't put thanks for coming to our wedding (not in those words of course). We will also be writing some more personal for each individual. Any sugguestions?
TIA

Yes.
A lot of girls say handwritten on this board. i think it does give it a better feel. But I agree my handwriting is crappy. So i think I will put a 1 liner in the middle of each thank you and the write something short in each to personalize. Hopefully my handwriting for 1 sentence will be legible.

Unless you also put something personal, yes.
OP- I had the same dilemma. I opted (thanks to advise on here) to leave it blank. It's much more personal to write something in each, even if you were planning on writing in addition to the pre-printed note.
Yes, ONLY having a pre-printed message (even if you handwrite their names and your signatures) is very tacky. Always handwrite a personal note.
For the people who attended the wedding, I usually wrote, "Thank you for coming to our wedding! We were really glad to see you and we hope you had a nice time. [new paragraph] Thank you so much for the generous gift. We're saving up to buy a home in the next year or so, and we really appreciate your kindness. Love, M and D."
For the people who didn't attend but sent us a gift, I usually wrote, "Thank you for sending us the generous wedding gift, and for thinking of us on our special day. We're saving up to buy a home in the next year or so, and we really appreciate your kindness. We hope you're doing well and we hope to see you soon!"
