What cool cards!<br />For our "Thank You" cards, what we had planned on doing is to have our photographer take a wide-angle shot of the entire room at the reception, maybe while we're dancing or something. We'll then take that shot, print it out in black and white (unless the colors are great!) from our local Walgreen's for cheap, and attach them to blank cards. Martha Stewart has a transfer that says "Thank You", and I had planned on using that on the front at the bottom of the photo. But from seeing it here - a stamp would work too! This is a great idea!!

I thought about getting vintage postcards of our location (a national shrine... it is weird saying that) and just gocco'ing or even hand writing "save the date" on the back. They are hard to track down... so we may just take a picture of it and photoshop it to look vintage :) Such a great idea!
