I'm having the hardest time writing out my thank you notes for people who gave us cash at my shower. For those who gave us gifts I think them specifically for what they gave us. I can't do that for those who gave money. Can any of you help me? I don't know why I'm drawing a blank, I only need like 3 or 4 lines and it's driving me nuts.

Usually when we have given money as a gift the thank you notes just said "Thank you for your generous gift of money." That was enough for me and I am pretty picky about that kind of stuff.

Maybe something like, "Thank you very much for the generous gift, we plan on buying something special for both of us." Or if you are going to live together in a house or whatever then you could say, "...we plan on buying something special for the house." Or you could just say how much you appreciate them for all of their support this whole time.
Appreciation for monetary gifts are expressed in the same way you would thank a friend or loved one for a purchased item. If you have a particular item you intend to buy with the money, you can share that with them.
Example: Dearest Aunt Mary
Kevin and I want to thank you so much for the check you sent for our wedding. We have been saving for a down payment on our first home and have added your gift to our special account. It was so thoughtful of you. Someday soon, we will be inviting you to our housewarming!!! Can't wait to see you and Uncle Ted again.
Love,
Sarah
