Thank you etiquette

Ladies, What are your thoughts on sending a Thank you note to your wedding guests who did not bring a gift? Should I send a thank you for coming to the wedding note? Or not send a note at all? I didn't think I would be faced with this question so I need some advise! TIA

    You do not send a thank-you for attending.  Technically, the entire reception is essentially a thank-you to your guests for coming and supporting you in your marriage.

    I've read a number of etiquette books and they state that all guests should recieve a thank you-  even if you haven't gotten a gift from them (maybe they left in the car, hotel, or at home) they may send it later- with weddings, people tend to send gifts up to one year later as well. If you were to go and check a registry of a friend who was married a year ago or months ago- it would still be up (I ended up having to send the gift later once because I was just out of college and it was an out of state wedding with mucho expenses).

    I would.  Whether or not they brought you a gift, they took the time and made the effort to come celebrate you and your wedding.  So, maybe it's personal preference, but I plan on sending thank yous to everyone who attends.
