I just ordered these. For the price, they can't be beat. However, take note that the blue is lighter than in the picture, and from a short distance you can't read the "Thank You" as the letters aren't very bright. Also, the cards are smaller than standard Hallmark size, which to me is a blessing because I can never think of what to write! The paper is also not as thick as in a regular card.

I bought these cards as thank you notes for my wedding, which was aqua blue and brown themed. The blue in the picture looks like it's aqua, but I'd say the blue in the actual cards is more like a light blue (baby blue) than an aqua. The stock of the cards is on the thinner side, but for this price, that's what you'd expect. I actually spray painted the cards with a sheer gold shimmer spray and it made them look much fancier and the blue looked more aqua-y. They came out beautifully and it only cost a few extra dollars for the shimmer spray paint.

The cards are simple and were of expected thickness. They showed up in simple plastic packaging and were exactly what we were looking for.

While not huge, these are just the right size to drop a quick but thoughtful note to a gifter. I was brought up to write thank-you notes to others when I get a present from them, and I simply believe it's the polite thing to do. A thank-you email is, I suppose, sufficient, but an old-fashioned card (especially to family members) is always looked upon with gratitude. While these were a little more costly than I would normally allot to such an item, the paper quality is good, the volume of cards is respectable based on cost, and they don't look cheap or too common in design. The print incorporates my favorite color (turquoise) & pattern (vertical stripes), so I'm quite happy. The delivery time was well within reason, and I enjoyed being able to look through Amazon's considerable variety of selection of cards. These aren't cards that you could necessarily easily find in any old card store, and so I feel they're a bit more distinctive & representative of my own personality/tastes. I like that touch, especially considering the nature of what a thank-you note is.
