I would hate to see you take the chance of offending your closest family and friends. It is possible that if you are not willing to take 2-3 minutes to write a note to them, they will feel slighted.
What if you wrote something really simple like...
"Thank you so much for being a part of a our special day and for your generous gift.
We are looking forward to using the money to help buy __________."
If you did 15 cards at a time, that should only take about 30 minutes at the most. You could set aside one day a week to do that, and it would only take you five weeks to have them all done.
I have to agree with you on this. People put time into getting to your wedding and everything that goes into that. My sister had about 200 people at her wedding and she just slowly worked on them. Maybe hubby could write the ones to his really close family--people who can read his writing.
I know you asked for help finding a saying but I really think your guest will appreciate the time you put in.
Good luck
