ok so we are renewing our vows and not expecting gifts so do i send out thank yous to all that come or just if someone does bring a gift.  We were married in a court house so we are celebrating our 10 yr with a nice vow renewal small ceremony (with dress)
thanks

Gift = ty card. 

You can send them for just coming, but it's not necessary.

I don't think I'd send out cards just for coming, but I mean you certainly can if you want to. Are you doing any favors? If so, what about maybe hand writing a little note to all of the guests to go with them? Or even if you don't do favors you could write little notes and put them at their place settings or something. Sorry if that's dumb

Praise Jesus for calling it a vow renewal!!

How many people are coming? If it's not like a crapton, I'd do notes to thank everyone for coming. If it is, maybe just write a nice note to go in the favors, if you're doing them?

You just made me spray water all over the place with that statement! :)

I personally sent thank you cards to everyone who attended regardless of gift (although in retrospect, they all did give us a gift, but I would have sent them regardless. We also sent thank you cards for the engagement party regardless of gift), and I would say for a vow renewal I'd do the same thing. That's not traditional etiquette, though, just me, so listen to Sucrets unless you feel inclined to send tys to everyone.
