Thank You Cards

No, you'd only send thank you cards that gave a gift or money.

View Quoted Comment That’s what I kind of thought but then started second guessing myself!

Nope! The reception is your thank you for guests' attendance. The thank you cards are for thanking them for a gift.

Some people are sticklers that thank you cards be sent to every single guest but personally I will only be sending them to those who give us a gift. The reception is technically the ‘thank you’ to guests who attended, so a thank you card is the cherry on top to thank those who gave gifts.

Hi Michelle! We sent thank you cards to all who attended and wrote to those who did not provide a gift, “Thank you for coming and celebrating with us! Your love and support meant a great deal to us.” Something along those lines. Bear in mind, their gift may have gotten postponed in the mail as we had a few that came in post-wedding. Congratulations ❤️

Personally I would send everyone who attended a thank you card. They still took time out of their lives to be there for you and technically they have a year or two to send a gift. I've read on here so many times that the reception is the thank you for your guests attending. It's not. The reception is the celebration of your marriage and your new life together. We should be gracious hostesses and appreciate their love and support by sending a thank you card.

No. Thank you cards are to thank your guests that brought a gift. For the non gift givers, their thank you was your reception.

I would bet the people who didn’t bring a gift will send you a check. In our social circles, people tend to mail checks after the wedding, and rarely give gifts. Well, the money is a gift.

There is no need to send thank you notes to those who didn't give you a gift

On WW, I mostly read about couples being selective about thank you’s and only sending them to “gift givers”. But, like most things about our wedding, we’re not doing it the typical way Lol! Instead, we’re sending a thank you to every person/couple who took the time out of their lives to attend our wedding (gift or not). Their attendance means much more than a gift to us. So, we’ll write personalized thank you’s to our guests with a sweet statement/memory about our interaction with them that evening and how special it was to our wedding day (we’ll also include mention of their gift if one was given).

View Quoted Comment Totally agree!!! Everyone is receiving a thank you. FH and I are choosing to host such a celebration after the ceremony. So, we’re not tossing the reception at our guests as a “thank you”.

Nope, you get thanked for a gift, if they didn't give a gift there's nothing to thank for! Lol. Your "thank you for attending" is the food and drinks we provided you with
