First Birthday Thank You Postcard {cute & cheap}

In our family thank you cards are a must. I know a lot of people could care less about getting a thank you card and to tell you the truth it doesn't bother me one bit if we don't get one.

Maybe I just have a guilty conscious. I always feel like I'm unappreciative if I don't send a thank you to someone.

About a week after I graduated High School I started fighting fire, was unbelievably busy and forgot to send thank you's. I still feel bad about that! So I make an honest effort to send a thank you.

For Whitney's first birthday I wanted to make a cute thank you with a couple pictures. We dressed her up and took her to a field just down the street from our house. I wrote "Thank You, Love Whintey" on a chalk board and took some pictures.

I made a little collage, saved it as a JPEG and uploaded it to Vistaprint. I just did postcards to save on postage and it literally cost me 8 bucks for 50 of them. Vistaprint is a super cheap way to go...just keep your eye out for coupon codes.

Here is the front of the postcard.

I don't have one of the back, but I just used their template. You could also make your own.

That picture of her crying is a classic Whitney picture. She is a very sensitive sole. She was trying to stand up and all we said was, "no, no"! Everyone that knows her should appreciate it!

Here are some of the pictures we got that day.

And of course the three pictures we used!
