Sending wedding thank you cards along withholiday cards
Would it be improper to send out thank you cards for wedding gifts along with winter holiday greetings? My understanding is that it is considered fine to send save-the-dates with holiday cards to save on postage. I'm wondering if I can save a little postage here as well.
Also, do the holiday and thank you cards have to actually be 2 different cards? I would expect so, but since I make all my cards handmade I'm not sure. I'm considering whether 1 handmade card can suffice for both intents? I have begun the cards but really need to buckle down and get them finished up and I fear I'm well behind the ideal timeframe, because I've been traveling heavily since my wedding date in early November. If I plan to make each person 2 cards, then the thank you cards will be delayed into the New Year.
Thank you for your help.

Dear Thanking,
No and no. Please remember that a thank you is given because someone was generous enough to give. So, this should be special, handwritten, and mailed separately from all other correspondences.
Save the dates should be also. I don't know who said that it was all right to include these with other cards. But, that would be considered tacky. It is like mass mailings.
Your thank you cards should have been mailed as soon as you received the gifts. These are the most important cards to send. Your husband should be helping with these so you can mail these as soon as possible.

Well, my husband and I both travel alot and were not able to open gifts until Thansgiving Sunday and have not been home since. We will be writing Thank you cards over our Christmas holiday. In the mean time, I will just buy our Holiday cards and mail them out seperately.
Thank you for your opinion.
