We are planning on ordering thank you (TY) cards with an imprinted quote, but will be handwriting our TYs specific 2 the gift/guest. However, we had a cultural wedding reception with specific events that took place during the reception. My parents told me earlier that my husband & I would not have our own speech as the two dads would have a toast & then we would be going table to table toasting to all the guests & thanking them. During the dinner, my dad told me in five minutes, I should get up & make a speech. I'm pretty sentimental & like taking time to really craft what I want to say 2 be meaningful. I spent the next five minutes wracking my brain & my husband's brain. We thanked everyone for coming & that they were all here because they've shared special moments with us. My family really came together 2 make everything happen & I regret not specifically thanking them then as I really wanted everyone at the reception 2 know. Is it tacky to have a special insert in with the TY cards?

I think that is a very touching gesture. Here's how you could say it:
"In all the excitement of the day, we neglected to thank our families who helped us and supported us so much throughout the planning process and especially on our special day!"

Don't add that to the TY cards. The moment for that has passed. But what you CAN do is include it in the TY to those that helped.
"Aunt Sue, I just want to let you know how much we appreciated your help with the centerpieces. They looked fabulous and the guests loved them!"
It's not really appropriate to send a TY to you friend Sally, that also has an insert saying, I really wanted to thank my Aunt Sue for her centerpieces, etc.
It takes away from their special, personal TY card and turns into more of a family newsletter.

Dear Mom and Dad (or however you address your parents)
Of all the thanks we have given to everyone who has given us so much, the most important thanks are reserved for you, because without your help and love we would not have had the special moments you have given us during our wedding and reception (s). We are so fortunate.
Thank you from our hearts,

There's nothing wrong with thanking your parents but make sure to mention your in-laws too. Your a family now:)

It's never tacky to offer additional thanks.
