    So we want to do photo thank you cards but watnt o keep costs down. Its ok to use a flat note card w/image adn "Thank you!" on one side, and our hand written note on teh other, or should we spend more money and get folded cards? (its already been about 5 weeks since the wedding, we really need to get the thank you's out!)

    I think its the thank you itself that counts so I dont think there is anything wrong with a double sided thank you card!  Id be happy just to get one :)  Have you checked out places like Shutterfly to do the thank you cards?  They usually have good deals and prices.

    I am looking at vista print, shutterfly is a bit pricey in Australia. And regualr plain "Thank you" cards are like $10 for a pack of 10! So we might as well personalize them for not much more!

     thanks for the response

    I agree, it's the thought that counts. As long as you have a note that says "thank you" I don't think it should matter the form of it. Have you thought about going DIY? I did mine using cardstock and a "thank you" stamp from the dollar store, prettied them up with fancy scissors and they only cost about $6 for 70 cards.

    Sorry thats what I meant by double sided card - using your picture on one side and writing the thank you on the other side sounds like a good idea.

    I think it's a really cute idea.  If I wasn't so attached to the idea of all my wedding stationery matching/coordinating, I would do a photo postcard!  Could you also do a plain thank you card and purchase photo stamps from zazzle?  I'm not sure if that would work for Australian postage!

    I think it's a really cute idea!  I agree with the other bees -- it's the "thank you" that counts.

    I think that's a cute idea! Flat (non-folded) cards are totally fine.  It's the sentiment that matters :-)

    I think that sounds cute, and maybe they would be more likely not to throw it out since it would be more like saving a picture instead of a card.
