When did it become acceptable for a bride and groom to send a cheesy photo of themselves holding signs that say "thank you" instead of writing thank you notes? I recently saw one of these photos and was disgusted by the lack of good manners.
Were I to ask either the bride or the groom (neither of whom I know) why they couldn't be bothered to write thank you notes, I probably would have been told they are just "too busy". Too busy? Seriously?
Were the people who received the invitations to your wedding "too busy" to open them?
Were the people who sent RSVPs "too busy" to put them in the mail?
Were the people who bought gifts or wrote a check "too busy" to do this for you?
Were the people who came from out of town "too busy" to travel to your wedding?
Everyone who attended your wedding has a life. They have jobs, routines, responsibilities, and things to do - and yet, they set aside time out of their lives to attend your wedding. They could have been doing other things or even just enjoying downtime; but they got dressed up, left their homes, and went to your wedding.
And you repay them by sending a "thank you" photo. You should be ashamed of yourselves. While sending these pictures may be considered "cute" or "trendy" by some, the majority of people who receive them think you are just lazy. And they wonder, do you even know what they gave to you? And they also may wonder why they wasted the time and money to attend your wedding when you obviously thought so little of them you couldn't even be bothered to write a thank you note.
Shame. On. You.
