Short answer
Use a plain card with a printed message, a photo of you both, and a handwritten signature. Keep the wording short and warm, such as "Thank you for being part of our day". This is quick, elegant and affordable.
Simple does not mean boring. Start with a blank card in a neutral colour, like cream or white, and print a single photo of you two on the front. Inside, print a short thank you message in a classic font, leaving space for you to sign your names by hand. For example: "Thank you for celebrating with us. We had the best day because you were there. Love, [names]". If you want to mention gifts, you can add a line like "We are so grateful for your generous gift", but keep it generic if you are sending the same card to everyone. For a more personal touch, write one sentence by hand under the printed message, such as "It meant the world to us that you travelled so far". This works for any budget and any wedding style. You can also use a postcard instead of a folded card, which saves paper and postage. Another simple idea is to use a card that doubles as a bookmark or a fridge magnet, so guests can keep it. If you have a lot of guests, set aside an evening with your partner to write them together, with a cup of tea and some music. Send them within two to three months of the wedding, or sooner if you can. The most important thing is that the card feels genuine, so do not overthink the design. A simple, heartfelt card is always appreciated.
