Creating the thank you notes was bittersweet. For a wedding loving girl it was sad, because I knew it was the end of my wedding planning. Thank God I have Weddingbee to relive every detail of the day! To be honest though, it also felt great, because DIY projects and wedding planning is time consuming!

Since the wedding is over and projects are complete, I’ve had much more time for friends and family. Including these lovely girls. Can you guess who they are?

But back to the project at hand. By the time the wedding was over, I was pretty burned out. I had originally bought 6 navy thank you note sets from HomeGoods for $2 each. They fit our theme perfectly, but were a bit boring. I planned to use these, but a few guests commented that they loved opening the save the dates and invites we sent. So, I felt pressure to come up with something more unique.

Enter the envelopes. I wanted easy and cheap. I printed two wedding photos and used my Paper-Source envelope liner kit to create the liners. It was super easy. I had printing paper, I had ink, and I had envelopes. This was the big “detail”.

Then for the actual card, I embossed “Thank you” on note cards. Again, it was super easy! I would go into detail on how to actually create the envelope liners or emboss, but both have been covered on Weddingbee.

I know many people have mentioned they don’t think people notice envelope liners, but I’ve already had two people tell me they were upset they ripped their card open. One told me I should have wrote “Do not rip open” on the outside of the card. People do (sometimes) notice details!

Were you happy when you completed your final wedding project? Was it a bit sad?
