My husband and I got married about two weeks before the start of another college semester. We went on our honeymoon for a week. That left us with only one week before school started. I remember making it a point to get out our thank you cards before starting school so that stress wasn’t lurking in our minds.

I decided to take the hand-written route. I divvied the gift list between me and my husband. We divided and conquered. BUT BOY DID THAT TAKE FOREVER. We were in 2016 people – technology was alive and thriving just like today. But, I went old school. And getting all those cards done in a week was intense.

Maybe handwritten cards fits your personality. If that’s your jam, roll with it. You will touch many people with your handwritten notes – like I’m sure mine did.

Needless to say, I have some easier alternatives that will definitely help make your life easier post-wedding stress. Yes, a way to send out thank you’s without having to hand write your cards.
