    Woo hoo my first poll response!

    BTW my answer is purely from the fact I am tiredof writing thank you notes.

    I didn't have any empty cards.  People just didn't give.  WTF right?

    I however think if I paid for you to eat and drink and enjoy yourself, there is no need for me to spend another 42 cents on you to say Thanks.  The food and alcohol was quite enough.  Person

    How many people did not give you a gift?  I had three, Todd's aunt, her son the pimp and his girl, and Todd's other uncle.  All last minute adds to the guest list.

    A family of 4; a friend (who left EARLY but not before she ate); and the other two groups were my family of 6 but they all flew in and then 2 friends that also traveled.  I guess I can understand if you traveled and spent money to get there... Oh and I had a friend that also traveled and she just gave me a card.  I had another friend give me $5.

    I'm sending everyone a TY because we have 2 presents that had no card so I don't know who they came from and I don't want to NOT thank someone ... people will either get a very generic Thank You for taking the time to share in our special day or a specific Thank You for X gift ...

     

    As I have not yet actually started writing my TYs yet this may be subject to change ...

    We probably had about three, but like I said yesterday, they were all my brothers' friends.

     I got one card in the mail from my cousins' grandmother, just a card.

    I'm curious to see if you actually send everyone a "thanks for coming" after you write all the thank yous for gifts and/or cards.

    A couple of J's friends.  One really bothered me because when they had all three kids I sent a gift.  Whats up with that?  One of his Uncles and one of his Aunts.

    We got a LOT of gifts and cards, but still quite a few people didn't give. A lot of people who couldn't come sent us things though, that was nice.

    I finished all mine today, but Jason still needs to write like three to his family. That's his job, leaving it to him to thank them.

    Sad to say that I haven't started mine, but I was waiting on the pro pics and am still within the etiquette window.  We had a lot of non-gifters and I will not be sending thank you's to them- sitto AJ that dinner and an open bar was thank you enough.

    Ditto AJ & Bear.  The food, the alcohol and the shuttle to get your drunk a$$ back to the hotel was your thank you....enjoy.

    I had a wonderful "guest" who not only didn't bring a gift, she invited 14 other people to come to the wedding with her.  So, she will MOST definitely NOT be getting a TY from me.  That stills ticks me off.

     And, I'm totally putting off writing TYs.  Moving is killing me right now and I'm still not done with that.

    since half of our guests were spending tons of money to travel to our wedding we will be sending thank you cards even if they did not give us a gift.....to thank them for making the trip down, which is the best give they could give us to be honest!
