Because y’all are the best at ideas
Hello, hive! I need some creative suggestions, pretty please.
We’ll be placing a handwritten note of appreciation at each guest’s seat. Since I didn’t hand-write our invitations as I’d once imagined, I’m really looking forward to getting a chance to express how much I (ahem, “we”) love and appreciate each person in our lives. The letter writing I can handle (I’m a well-practiced letter writer) but I need some help deciding how to jazz up the plain white envelopes.
I considered putting our monogram on the outside, but that seemed a little, I don’t know, narcissistic. I mean, if I write a thank you note to a friend, I don’t put my initials on the outside. I could just write their names nicely, but that’s a little boring.
Will you help me choose?
A: the guest’s monogram or initial
B: a tiny picture of the guest with one of us (this is harder and more time-consuming, but I’d love it if I was a guest)
c: something else (tell me more in your comment!)
This may be “cheese-y” (ha ha) but what if you do a variation of the picture idea and draw little stick people with their characteristics? If you’re really feeling adventurous, you could have them be doing something that they would be doing, like reading a book, swimming, shopping with a bunch of bags in their hand, etc. It’d probably be a little quicker than searching through all of your pictures, although I think that’s a really cute idea too.
Good luck! Looking forward to hearing what you decide.

I like it! Except that I’d have to Google the appropriate stick figure in order to copy it by hand (I really am that big of an artard), and then I may as well print the thingy? You’ve got me thinking, though, so I’m going to Google now.
And we like cheese around here. And bacon, but that’s a story for another day. (Seriously, have you ever eaten anything that wasn’t improved with the addition of cheese or bacon?)

I love option B – it is in my idea folder (Well her whole wedding is since she was a “at home” bride)
Honestly – option 1 is the most personal, but do you have the time??
