The Photographer's Wife Parenting, Disney, Travel, Reviews & Other Randomness
We had a wonderful baby shower, with plenty of creative touches, so we just had to keep the creativity going somehow with our thank you cards to everyone. We just like being a little different!
After all, the gifts were for Trent, so we felt Trent should be able to say “Thank you” too!
We used one of our photos from our 3D/4D Ultrasound session where he had his mouth completely open. Brett used Photoshop to add the extras. He put his full name up top in colorful letters using a crayon-like font…as if Trent was writing it (well, maybe if he was a few years old, but still, you get the point)!
He then added a word bubble (we kinda have a thing for word bubbles, don’t we?) and put “Thank you _____” and inserted each person’s name for each photo. That’s right, each photo was personalized for each person. Trent is so thoughtful already!
Brett then placed the order through his site, fulfilled by mpix, and we received personalized, glossy prints in just a couple of days, which was how long it took me to think of what to write in each thank you card!
We then went to Target and found thank you cards that were for baby showers and large enough to fit the photo (4×5). Looking back, we probably should have done this the other way around, as most thank you cards are 3.5×5, but luckily we found these and we really liked them.
I inserted the traditional thank you messages from all of us into each card, which may or may not have been corny. Thank you cards for gift receiving events have always seemed a little awkward to me, both receiving and giving, but I must obey the etiquette gods nonetheless.
Our family and friends now have their first photo of Trent!
