My fiance threw an incrdible surprise engagement/birthday party for me this past weekend and all my friends and family were there. People came from 10 different states, left their children, etc... for this. I was incredibly touched by them making the effort to be there for the special occasion. I am planning to write each individualized thank you's, but in the meantime I would like to get something out there sooner, to say thanks again and great seeing you etc... I was going to send an email to all the attendees. Again, b/c it was so special having all of them there I would like the e-mail to convey that, unfortunately I am havng a difficult time putting it all into words clearly and concisely. I think I am still overwhelmed by the gesture! Natuarally I also need to be writing my fiance a thank you note too, so if you have any suggestions for that as well by all means, share! And thanks to you too for you consideration and sharing any ideas!

I think if you review your question, you will find some really GREAT ideas in your post. You DO know how to express yourself quite lovely. You really do not need the advice, you are very sweet and capable! Something simple; Thank you for making this occasion so very special. I was so touched by each and every one of you, for a day I will cherish always,

If you're sending an e-mail why does it have to be concise?
Prepare your draft note, and put everything you want in it. Then send them out all at once. (I'm sure though, that some will not have e-mail addresses.)
On the other hand, why not work away at this, and send the personalized notes ASAP. Otherwise people will think that the first note is your thank you and may be hurt by that.
As for the note to your fiance, just write what is in your heart. Again, don't try to edit it. Be as flowery as you want. All that effort deserves a few 'flowers'.
Sounds as though you have a great guy and wonderful family and friends. You're a lucky girl.

To the people who couldn't make it but sent something anyway just say something along the lines of Thank you for your thoughtful gift (you can even say what the gift was) I'm sorry you couldn't be there. Thank you. As far as thank yous to the people who were there that is completely up to you if you want to personalize everything or just have a standard, Thank you for my surprise engagement party I am still in shock. Thank you for the gift etc....

Did you take pic.'s I would send them a Short thank you note, w/ a pic. to show your appreciation. Then later on send them your detailed personalized cards. Or you could send a really small inexpensive gift to each person.

I have the best answer of them all.
Tell them you have a box of unclaimed bras and panties tell them that they need to come get them or you will sell them on e-bay and keep the money =)
