Birthday Party Thank Yous?

We had our son's first birthday party this weekend, and I invited most people over evite.

Is it acceptable to send them electronic thank you notes? I would get it done faster, but maybe I'm old fashioned, it doesn't seem as nice as a hand written thank you note somehow.

So which would you prefer--a hand written note that arrives later or an electronic one? Thinking about it myself, I'd have to say either would be fine.

I like to save thank you pictures of kiddies so my vote would be for the handwritten that takes longer

I would rather wait longer and send something in regular mail

I'm old fashioned...handwritten.

I must be a troll--somehow I never thought of pics! It's a good idea though--when we download and get a better look at his birthday pictures, I'll send everyone a copy.

Thanks for the replies. My gut was telling me it would be rude, but with Christmas cards to get out, I am thinking it may take awhile to do this.
