Thank You DVD

amberlynned · August 2010

I know... If you have to ask....

I may get flamed for this but:

I started looking into other options. What do you ladies think about a Thank You DVD?

One personalized verbal thank you. DH and I would have their gift with us & say a heart felt thank you and something special about that person/family? We could even put our top 40 pro wedding pics on there after their thank you....

How would you feel if you got this?

TIA

Pttthhhhhhh. Big thumbs down.

I might think it's neat... but that sounds like an awful lot of unnecessary work. Maybe do a normal card and include a photo or two of you from the wedding.

Perhaps do the DVD as something "special" you put together.... maybe just for your parents?

That would probably be really expensive too.. if you made a personalized one and sent it to each of your guests.

Don't think it could be very personal unless you made one specifically for each guest. I would say no. Just write the paper TY's and be done with it.

This is going to sound crazy, but I feel that the DVD is too impersonal. In the time that it takes to create these DVD's you could simply call the person to thank them.

It's no different that picking up the phone and calling to thank someone rather than right a proper thank you card. To me that would say you are either lazy or have no manners.

OP I think you are totally overthinking the importance of neat handwriting on a TY note. i can understand on the invitation envelopes and things, but a TY is just a TY. Your sloppy handwriting is part of what makes it so personal. One of my closest friends writes like a 12 y/o boy and thats part of what I love about getting cards and notes from her.

I don't think the DVD idea sounds that horrible if you are making it personalized for everyone, but it does sounds very time consuming and expensive.

OP, are you saying that people can't even read what you write or that it's just not "neat"?

As long as I can figure out what you're saying, I'd still prefer a simple handwritten note. It's also your cheapest option.

Honestly, I'd be a little confused. And it sounds like a lot of work and probably a lot of money for something that someone is going to either throw away or jam into the bottom of a desk drawer and never look at again.

Thank-you notes are relatively cheap.

That sounds like an awful lot of time and work to create. As a guest, I would probably think it was pretty cool, but as a bride, I think you're nuts for even considering it.

If you can't write them, how about your FH doing them? Or at the very least, split them so you have the time to make sure yours are legible.

Yeah, not a fan. Notes are still the best. You're talking about a high cost, and a long time for people to receive something, ideally they should receive within 2-4 weeks of you getting the gift.

thumbs down.

do you konw all of yoru elderly guests/relatives have DVD players? my mom is 65 and she doenst have one.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · August 2010

It seems really expensive, time consuming, and insincere. And honestly, it would take me a while to get around to watch it. And then what would I do with it after that? I wouldn't be a fan.

I would think you were either really weird or really full of yourself. Sorry. Handwritten notes are the best.
