Suggestions on LG Quantity of Wedding Thank yous...
I offered to do a Thank You set for someone I really don't know very well, but was invited to the bridal shower...and I do know the girl well who is doing it. She said they need 40 envies for people to write on at the shower, and I said I would just do 40 cards! Ahh!! Anyway...I rarely do doubles of a card let alone 40!! So I wanted it to be simple enough to not flip out about it, but still really special. My parents had one of their wedding invites that was home-made...nothing special...some shimmer paper with computer printed white paper slapped on. So it's not that they are going to be too picky I don't think?? I pulled the colors from items in her gift registry...the towels and other stuff was ALL Baja Breeze and Cream. I heard the bridesmaid dresses are funky bright colors...so skipped that idea. LOL
The couple is young...maybe 19 and 20...
This is my sample of what I came up with...
Now do you think it's too cutesy? Too scallopy? Wrong folders?
And my big question...do I leave them entirely blank, or stamp a nice THANK YOU sentiment inside?
This is a heck of a lot of work to put into it if it doesn't really appeal to all audiences...KWIM?

I think it's gorgeous, but would point one thing out.....that bow will likely need extra postage because of the bump. That may or may not be an issue for you. You might want to just lay a flat piece ribbon there instead, fastened under that embossed layer. And I'd leave them blank inside. I think your card is really classy looking!
I think it is really beautiful. I'd agree about making the ribbon flat or maybe just a knot (those go through sometimes, but not always without extra postage).

I'd leave it blank. If by chance less people show up than they are anticipating for the shower, they could use the cards for something else too that way. I love having generic monogram cards around to send people a quick note or use as thank yous or whatever else. They are so versatile that way.

These are really cute! My only suggestion is in regards to the monogram. Traditional etiquette guards against using a married monogram until after the wedding (it's viewed as "presumptuous"). If this is just the bride's monogram then no worries, but if this is the couple's monogram I might suggest going a different route. Perhaps just stamping "thank you" in the circle. It would save you die cutting and assembly time and you would then be including the sentiment that you would have liked to put inside. Good luck with the cards. You've done a really nice job so far!

These are thank you cards for the actual wedding gifts...not bridal shower gift thank yous....does that matter?

Then you're on the right track! If they were for bridal shower gifts the monogram thing applies, but since they're for wedding gifts you're absolutely fine.
Hi Cher! I'd definetly leave the insides blank in case they don't need all of them or they are the type of people who want to write a book to some of their guests, LOL! I think the striped ribbon is also definetly the way to go for a younger couple! More youthful, non traditional and it will save you time! Good luck! They are beautiful! I would have loved to have received them for my thank yous!
