Default Thank you cards

My girlfriend and I are getting married in a fortnight and we have received a few presents. Since we sent announcement cards to people with a photo of us on them, we decided to send thank you cards with photos of us and the objects they bought us. So here they are. We went for a very saturated look instead of realistic colours and we tried to make them amusing.

An armadillo bread bin.



A giant toaster.


A small vacuum cleaner.


A cutlery set.

The last one (with that 70ish style) is very funny

Its a breadbox. I considered one like it for a minute, but passed since I keep the bread in the fridge.

Cedric, these are hysterical. I like your fiance without even knowing her. Really, really funny stuff. Congrats, and enjoy your day. Marriage is tough, but fun and rewarding.

These are so creative! What a great idea and way of personalizing each card. You must be having a ton of fun posing for them.

A neat idea for sure. But, will they like it? I mean like the first one (armadillo bread box). Probably designed for the counter, and you got it on the floor. Small chance they might take offense, unless you know them...

And your giant toaster is in the first one too...

Nice idea, yes. I wondered the same thing. Like the toaster shot. It almost makes it look like you are making fun of the folks who got you the toaster. BUT if you registered for these things and they came, then the humor will be appreciated.

LOL! Your guests are going to love these. The idea that you took the time to set up shots with your gifts speaks volumes! But of course that means you can't leave anyone out.... because you know how quickly news of these types of events travels. Very ambitious project! I love it!

Thanks all.
The break bin come from my parents and they found it funny. We registered for them all, so people will understand that we're trying to be funny.

Thanks for making my day a little nicer. These are wonderful. Awesome idea and much more meaningful than the standard generic thank you notes. Have some Vitamin K.
