To be clear, proper etiquette would be to write a note for every present you've ever received, on every occasion. That is what the etiquette books have in them, at least. It's a very clear gesture, that requires actual effort on your part.
Now, I will be the first to admit that the rules of etiquette are mostly outdated and almost entirely arbitrary. Which, I think, is why there are so many "WTF" responses in this thread. Most of the time, you can ignore proper etiquette and nobody really cares. Weddings are a big exception to this rule.
People expect everything to be perfect, possibly related to the high emotions of this time. Any slight miscue can result in very hurt feelings, so I find it best to make sure you err on the side of caution. I seriously doubt many people would care about the notes not being hand written, but I can name at least 5 people in my family would care a great deal.
