thank you card question

So I have been stalling on writing my thank you cards.  Looking over my list, I realized that we have a few guests that came to the wedding but did not give a card or gift.  Do you still send a thank you card?  If yes, then what should you say?

Thanks for your help!

Re: thank you card question

  • If they didn't give a gift, there's no need to send a thank you note.  The reception is your way of thanking them for attending the wedding, to send a thank you note for a guest who didn't give a gift is redundant.

    You made my wedding day complete.

  • Technically, you don't have to for the reasons Saisong mentioned.

    We did though. We just said that we were thrilled they shared out day with us, babbled for a bit about something funny/entertaining/memorable we shared with them at the wedding, and thanked them again for coming.

  • The up side to doing what PP's have mentioned is that in case those couple people did actually send a gift and something happened to it (lost in the mail or something?), then when they get your note, they will know that you didn't receive the gift, and not just think that you're rude and didn't send a thank-you.
  • My policy is: no gift, no thank-you. 

    Thank you notes are written to thank for gifts.  Did you have to thank all your friends for just coming to your birthday party?  Nope.  That's what the favors are for.  Why spend the time?

  • I agree with tailspin.  I have actually heard of this happening quite a few times.
  • I was wondering the same thing!  We had about 20% of guests not give gifts...mainly my cousins and such, but I can't imagine writing more thank yous!  Still not sure what I'll do, but the ones who got gifts got thank yous immediately. 

     I hadn't considered writing to the others until I thought perhaps I should since they traveled and stayed in a hotel.  Plus, one time I got a thank you for attending a wedding, thought it was weird they didn't thank me for the check, and then I looked in my suitcase and found the card. So, it worked for them as far as getting my gift! lol
