Is it customary to include a check in the card? Or just the card? (there's no party or anything, I am mailing it)

    If you would like to give a check, then it's fine to put it in the card.  It's also fine to send the card by itself.  Gifts are not expected or necessary.

    As someone who's planning a very intimate wedding (10 people), we are going to send out wedding announcements.

    Personally, I think even getting a card would be great! A check would be amazing (obviously) but just having the well wishes of a card will make me so excited. :)

    Everyone always likes money, so do it if you can afford it and want to, but don't feel obligated at all!

    Depends on what you want to do and what you can afford.  If it were me I would probably send them a check with the card.

    I eloped! After we got back and announced it, we received some cards with no gifts and some cards with checks, and some actual gifts! I was actually quite stunned (in a good way) that anyone even acknowledged the wedding let aone send a gift! That was very generous. So, if you can afford it, I do think it's a nice gesture, but it is certainly not required in any way.

     

    edit- spelling
