Besides being cheap, making your own note cards is easy and the results are beautiful. You can make them as modern or as elegant as you like. You can make individual sets based on personality or use the colors that were used in the wedding.

All supplies can be found at any craft or department store such as Target and Michaels. Many stores sell decorative paper by the sheet for less than $1.00. Purchase your items and score the internet or magazines for inspiration. Tie the set together with decorative ribbon or twine for a great gift or throw in for a mother or grandmother gift.

You can just as easily create your own custom thank you notes! Buy a pretty stamp that says “thank you” and use a custom monogram stamp for all your own cards. If you splurge on a monogram stamp, you can incorporate the stamp in other areas of your wedding such as your wedding invitations and out of town boxes. The possibilities are endless! Etsy sellers such as D.Paulette and Tickled Pink will work with you to create a custom stamp that is perfect for your crafting needs!

A fun way to say ‘Thank You’!
When planning your wedding, don’t forget to think about the little details that come after all the festivities and the amazing honeymoon are over … the thank you cards! ‘What?’ you say! Not only do you have to plan your wedding, but you also have to think about what comes after it?? Trust me, it will be a decision you won’t regret!
Since I was, and still am the queen of acronyms, we decided to take a picture that appropriately displayed our appreciation and our personalities for our thank you cards! And we did this during our engagement shoot. I was so glad we thought ahead because making our thank you cards became a relatively easy process even though we were so exhausted from all the wedding festivities.
We chose to make our cards at cardstore.com where you can customize your cards with your own personal pictures. The result was unique, fun, and affordable thank you cards!
