Wedding Thank You Notes

People are doing some pretty creative stuff these days for their thank yous. I saw a bunch where people were holding a sign that said Thank You... or even a blank cardboard sign that they later wrote "Thank You" in either by hand of with photoshop. I decided to skip all that and just use photoshop for ours.

Here's the end result:


Steps:

1. Purchased plain white 4x6 folded cards from www.ActionEnvelope.com - http://www.actionenvelope.com/ae/control/product/~category_id=NOTECARDS/~product_id=A6_FOLDED_CARD $8.95/50
   Oh! The nice thing about ordering these early is that you can write them as you get your gifts. You don't have to wait until after the wedding when you finally have your photo. All you have to have are the cards and then put the photo on later.
   
2. Purchase 4x6 colored envelopes to match the wedding colors. Again from Action Envelopes (couldn't beat their price and quality during my exhaustive search) - http://www.actionenvelope.com/ae/control/product/~category_id=SQUARE_FLAP/~product_id=5375-25 $20.95/50
3. Took a photo from our photographer and used Photoshop to add some custom text: "Thank you! Lisa & Steve DeLuca". We actually used a different photo for people in the wedding party (the flower girl got her own, the officiant, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and ushers).
4. Printed the photos from Snapfish.... 9 cents a photo
5. Bought some double sided tape ~ $4 (no idea how much double sided tape costs... probably around that... i actually happened to already have the tape)
6. put a small piece of tape on the top and bottom of each photo and stuck it to the folded card stock.
7. Purchased a custom return address stamp from Etsy (see my other post)
8. Stamped and Embossed each envelope with our return address
9. Mailed 'em

For 50 thank you's the total price was.... dun dun dun... 69 cents each not including postage. Pretty cheap! And it was kinda fun doing them myself after the wedding... especially with all the creative juices that went into the wedding planning it was fun to continue with the personal touches. Of course the 69 cents doesn't include the cost of the etsy stamp ~$25 or the embossing powder and stamp... those were just for fun but we'll get to keep it forever!
