Send identical thank-you cards?

We sent thank-you cards to everyone before the wedding for all the pre-wedding gifts we received (from showers, etc.). We used a simple thank-you card we purchased in a box of 40 - they just say "Thank you" on the outside and are blank on the inside. There are some flourishes on the front. We wrote our own personalized thank-yous inside each card.

I still have some of those cards left from the boxes we bought before the wedding, but I am hesitant to write thank-yous using the same cards we sent before the wedding. Obviously, each would be personal, and we'd write thank-yous for coming to the wedding, etc. (they'll be different than the cards they may have received from us before) but we're not sure if this would be seen as cheap or inconsiderate because they're the same standard cards.

What do you think? Should we buy different thank-you cards to write our thank-yous, or can we use the ones we've already sent before since we still have some left? Thanks! Laughing

  • I'd use different cards, and save the rest of your boxed thank you cards for another event (if they're just stock-standard thank you cards and not wedding specific).
  • Thanks, Sun! That's what I was thinking. Just seems a bit impersonal to me, but I didn't know if I was just overthinking.

  • You could make some cute personalised cards online with very little expense. I'd just do something like that if I were you.

    That's a cute idea! Do you have a suggestion for an online site to do that?

    We used shutterfly for our wedding thank-yous - just did a picture on the front (this one) and wrote our personal message inside.  We got so many compliments on them.

    If I had money to burn, I might buy new thank you cards.  But since I don't have excess cash, and the notes would be going to different people, I would definitely use the cards already purchased.
