Thank You Notes?

Rachel5527

Do you send thank you notes to everyone who attended your wedding to thank them for coming? Or just to people who you received gifts from?

Just people who sent gifts or cards. The reception is your thank you to them for coming.

This. But I have heard of people sending TY's to everyone. You can do either as long as you do them.

 We sent them to everyone who attended.  There are two distinct schools of thought on this one.

I'm probably just doing them for people who gave gifts, but we also have people who traveled. So I might send them TYs after the gift TYs are out. For local people who just showed up, probably not.

I just did gift-givers.

Because we a DW wedding and two people didn't give gifts I sent thank you cards anyways since they had to travel to the wedding/hotel/food.

I also thought it served as a friendly reminder they didn't get us anything...yeah gift grabby I know, but one of them was my brother!

I think sending them to all guests is proper.  Yes, your reception serves as a "thank you," but at this reception, the guests also helped to celebrate your marriage with you, and they are who make the day special.  I would think that they deserve to hear that from you afterwards, but apparently there is more than one take on this.

To her credit, she didn't say that she did this BECAUSE she thought people might get her gifts, just that in doing so, the notes also served as a nudge.  Still not right, but just sayin.
