Using the same thank-yous from the wedding?

CourtneyR2N · June 2010

I have a ton of thank you cards left over from my wedding and i was wondering if it was ok to use those for baby shower thanks yous.

They are generic, white with silver toile around the edges and Thank You written in silver.

We were married in June of 2006 and thank-yous won't be going out until the end of August 2010. I think that is enough time that no one will remember.

So, completely bad form, or ok?

I can't imagine people would remember and if even if they did I think that you've written a timely and sincere note is the most important part.

Ditto. They sound pretty.

If people remember and (more importantly) have issue w/ it - then they need a life!

I have stationary that I use for EVERYTHING, other than the invitation being different my Thank You's and Thinking of you's and sending a little note cards are all the same. So I dont see an issue at all with it (and by the same I mean same colors and font)

I had the same situation! I had silver and white simple thank yous left over from our 2007 wedding. I used them up for some of my baby shower thank yous. Then I had to buy more (went to buy the same ones, but they were no longer available so I got to pick new ones!!!).

Agreed.

I don't see a problem with it at all. If you want to "baby" them up you could purchase a baby-type stamp and a stamp pad and add that to the inside of each one.

This - or add a stamp or baby sticker as a seal on the envelope.

I can't imagine anyone remembering that these were also your wedding thank you cards. And I can't see many people caring, even if they did remember. This is a good way to save money and paper.

And, as others suggested, you could always add some sort of baby themed something to them, which could be really cute.
