Here's a quick, affordable and oh so cute idea for thank you cards:
Take pictures at the party of the people you are going to send the card to. If it's a birthday party, take pics of the people having fun, or with the gift they gave, or just of the birthday person. If its a shower/wedding take pics of them with the honoree(s), etc.
Then you can print these pictures out (I usually do 4 x 6 or smaller) and just write your thank you on the back. This way people have a great keepsake from the party and will more than likely hold on to it (or even display it on a fridge or frame at their house), at least longer than they would an actual card.
If you want something a little more formal/traditional, you can glue the picture on some cardstock and fold it in half like a card. Then just write your thank you inside.
Sometimes throwing a party can be a little chaotic. If you forget to take pictures or didn't get a good shot of the person(s) than just use a picture of the person(s) the party was for (even if its not from the party- like a school picture, family photo, or just take a quick pic that day). People always appreciate pictures! Plus it's a little more personal than just a card, and people will appreciate your thoughtfulness!
