Originally, I was going to wait until after the wedding to make our thank you cards. Maybe I could use a nice picture of us in wedding garb, or something.

However, with the advent of the humongous-second-reception and the fact that we’ve already started receiving a few gifts, I don’t think it’s something that should wait.

I played around with a couple different ideas - one of my favorites included a three panel comic with Mr. Sew yelling at the end, “No, we do not intend on having kids yet!” But ultimately I drew up this option instead:

Get it? Leveling?

Passing the stage, powering up, etc.? I liked it, and wanted to write “thanks for helping us defeat the final boss!” inside. Except I’m not exactly sure what the final boss would be, and Mr. Sew wasn’t too enthused about the whole idea. So while I may print a couple out just to use for our gamer friends, I ended up with a completely different design for the final print.

I ordered 100 cards with free envelopes from Vistaprint, using an awesome 50% off coupon I found. And just like magic, they arrived a week or so later.

Much more versatile now, right?

I liked that you could also print on the inside for free (in black and white), but since we couldn’t think of anything good to say, I left it blank with just a simple design.

With a happy face, of course.

Since we have so much leftover red wrapping paper from the invites, given the time(yeah, right), I might line the envelopes again. I really love the look of a good liner, but it’s definitely not critical!

I told Mr. Sew that since I made the thank you cards, he’s responsible for writing them all. I like to watch his eyes bug out every now and then.

Did you prepare your thank you notes before your wedding? Or did you save it for one of those coveted post-wedding projects?
