Nothing says you really appreciate a wedding gift like a computer generated form letter.
Ok, now seriously... Format the list in a spreadsheet, so you have all the information out - who, what gift, address, etc - but make them hand-written, and personalized. I sent out nearly 100 thank you cards after my wedding. It's really not that bad. You can use a stock thank you text, but it's very good to also put some personal comment to close. We really appreciate your gift of <xxx>. It will really accent our living room. It was so good to see you and the kids at the wedding. We hope you can come visit us again soon.If you still really need help, you can try pre-generating the text. Use some Template system to fill in the gift name (use a separate money one as you suggested), and select randomly from a list of a few dozen greetings and comments. Just be sure they are appropriate to the person. (Don't say 'good to see you' to someone who couldn't make the wedding but sent a gift.) It won't write the cards for you, but it will help you write them. Oh, and Congratulations to the new couple. ;-)
