TY Note Question

I finally got our TYs in the mail from Shutterfly! So I am trying to get them out ASAP! I have a question though! A few members of our BP did not give us gifts, which I am not upset about. They did however, all travel from OOT and paid for our Bachelor/Bachelorette parties. We each hosted a Bridesmaid Luncheon/Groomsmen Brunch to honor them and give them their gifts from us.

Do you think I should still send them a TY note for being a part of the wedding, traveling and for all of their help. I am mainly thinking of the Best Man who is finishing up his last year of college and put a lot of money towards DH's Bachelor Party when he didn't necessarily have it. I thought it would be nice to thank him, especially for his awesome speech! Thoughts? What did you do?

Re: TY Note Question

  • We didn't send a TY note to any member of the bridal party that didn't give us a gift.  I kind of figured that our gifts that we gave them during the rehearsal dinner showed our gratitude to them for being a part of the wedding.  But our bridal party also didn't throw us any of the pre-wedding parties (my mom paid for the bridal shower and we didn't have bachelor/ette parties) so if you want to thank them for that, it's up to you.  But as I said, I felt our gifts to them showed our appreciation for everything. 
  • I received gifts from my bridal party but I would have still sent a thank you even if they didn't give us a gift.

    Wording it something like:  Dear___:  Thank you so much for all you have done for us to make our day special.  We appreciate it more than words can say.  Love,____

     

     

  • I think if you gave them gifts, that shows your appreciation.  However, like Heather said, if you feel they went above and beyond, a note would be good too.  I've never thought a thank you note I received wasn't a happy thing. :)

  • I didn't send TY notes to those in the BP who didn't give gifts either, but we did give them all gifts as a token of our appreciation. But since they bought you guys' party, I think they could get a note for that. I consider that above and beyond.
