Spelling mistake in Thank You cards - send or not?

If someone had sent me a thoughtful gift, I'd expect a thoughtful thank you.

Also, you mention people gave you cheques, presumably although welcome these weren't particularly thoughtful.

I was always taught that with thank you letters for gifts, you should refer to the gift itself and say something about it, eg. Thank you for the saucepan you very kindly gave us to celebrate our marriage, I'm looking forward to using it for many years to come and it's the perfect size for cooking our favourite chicken dish'.

You might also want to consider personalising the message itself so if people travelled a long way then mention how grateful you are that they did.

Thanks everyone. I have rung Bride & Groom Direct and they're re-printing the inserts.

To everyone thinking it won't be a personal thank you - don't panic, I wouldn't just send out a stock message card. Everyone is getting a handwritten note on one half of the insert, and the printed part is on the other half.

I think if someone has taken the time to give aa gift a Thank You should be personal. If people gave us a frame we mentioned where it would go, if people gave us £20 we said it would go towards a meal on our honeymoon etc. We got lots of bottles of wine and had many champers BBQs on the beach and we messaged everyone with a photo of us enjoying it.

I feel a printed 'thanks for the gift' whether spelt right or not, is very impersonal and doesn't really show a lot of thanks - just something you feel you have to do.

It is just my opinion though, like everything else, go with how you feel and what's important to you both.

I definitely couldn't send them. As a teacher things like that drive me mad lol, and I know my family would notice and then be surprised that I'd sent them out! If you can laugh it off and don't want to spend money on replacements then just do it! I wonder how many people even keep the cards, and look at them again
