I read about it on here and downloaded it. You can take a pic on your phone and put it on a postcard then write a little message and the app prints and mails it for you! I don't think the postcards are very expensive. I'm planning to make each one different and have a pic of LO playing with the gift as the picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frist-birthday-thank-you-cards#post-1588678 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:23:15 +0000 Ra 1588678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, most people are just going to throw them away so I don't see the point in spending a bunch of extra money for photo cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frist-birthday-thank-you-cards#post-1588669 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:21:06 +0000 dolphin 1588669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target! I figure since DD's first birthday invitation had her picture on it I didn't think it was necessary to have her picture again on the Thank You cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frist-birthday-thank-you-cards#post-1588623 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:10:48 +0000 blackbird 1588623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16, i actually made them in photoshop </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frist-birthday-thank-you-cards#post-1588607 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:07:25 +0000 cheert16 1588607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Where did you get those? that is a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frist-birthday-thank-you-cards#post-1588601 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:05:16 +0000 Smurfette 1588601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought thank you cards on clearance at Target </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frist-birthday-thank-you-cards#post-1588586 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:01:05 +0000 Radish 1588586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had LO color on blank cards and wrote a thank you note over her scribbles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frist-birthday-thank-you-cards#post-1588573 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:58:12 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1588573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Same!

Just using up thank you cards I already have.

They were 24 cents because I ordered "photos" instead of cards. I had archival ink pens that i used to write on the back. </p> [attach=618/14/n4jivr.450x600.card.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frist-birthday-thank-you-cards#post-1588562 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:55:14 +0000 autumnlove 1588562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just used cards from Target! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frist-birthday-thank-you-cards#post-1588559 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:54:40 +0000 Adira 1588559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a bunch of party printables for Xander's birthday off Etsy and they came with thank you cards.

I really want to get something with a picture of LO on it- but an having a hard time justifying spending $60.00 on Thank you cards....before I have even mailed them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-thank-you-cards#post-511102 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:04:54 +0000 birdofafeather 511102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I care more about the message as well! No one compares their thank you cards with someone else's and this is coming from a paper person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-thank-you-cards#post-510939 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 17:51:43 +0000 spaniellove 510939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't care about the card as much as I do about what's inside. As much as I like pretty things, it kind of irritates me when I feel like someone put more thought into choosing design-y cards than conveying meaning or maintaining a relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-thank-you-cards#post-510469 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:42:37 +0000 ladyfingers 510469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't care and usually throw them out as soon as I receive/read them. So I always buy the cheapo ones to send out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-thank-you-cards#post-509981 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:47:49 +0000 shopaholic 509981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies for all the convincing that it's the message and thought that counts! </p> <p>@me0wmeeh: That sounds like such a nice after gift!</p> <p>@Amelieisme: I always keep the fancy cards too seems like such a waste to toss them. I'm not from the South, but I like the etiquette.</p> <p>@adnama: Oh I LOVEthe flower idea! I think that mightbe the perfect boost to add to my hostess gifts! Orchids from Trader Joe's! Thanks for the tip!</p> <p>@Boogs: No we don't have a Dollar Tree near us, but I think I'll check out some stamps today. I like handmade ones sometimes. </p> <p>Thanks again for all the assurances ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-thank-you-cards#post-509943 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:36:16 +0000 heffalump 509943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont think it matters. Personally I always make my own cards, just need card stock and stamps. I already have those things so its free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-thank-you-cards#post-509887 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:22:39 +0000 Alivoo01 509887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also in the camp with what's written in the card is more important than the card itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-thank-you-cards#post-509867 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:14:01 +0000 Amelieisme 509867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a little strange, but I feel a little guilty when I receive a really nice card. Like, "should I keep this because it is so nice?" and I feel bad about the waste of resources in just throwing it away (all that nice beading! the cute little pin!) BUT I can't stand clutter so they usually get trashed :(</p> <p>That said, I'd prefer a stamped card any day. Its the message that counts. I'm from the South and we usually buy a Thank You gift for the hosteses at the shower and then send a thank you card to thank them for the gift they gave and reiterate the thank you for hosting the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-thank-you-cards#post-509857 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:11:11 +0000 Bao 509857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could care less if my thank you card was a piece of construction paper folded in half, it's really the thought of even giving one, and the message inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-thank-you-cards#post-509818 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:53:07 +0000 tororojo 509818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree that there's nothing wrong with packaged cards--I have never thought about card quality! As long as you actually write a thank you note, that's what counts. And a lot of people throw them away anyhow. </p>
