Thank You Cards

CincyBride29

Hi Ladies,

I need some advice.  I am working on our thank you cards from our wedding.  We had a few people attend the wedding but give a gift.  I believe proper etiquette is to still send them a thank you card, but what do you say in the thank you card besides thanking them for attending.  I just feel weird sending someone a thank you card with 1 sentence in it.  Any advice would help greatly!

TIA!

if htye did not bring a gift, you dont need to send a thank you, although its never improper to send one.

Since the reception is a thank you for them coming, you don't have to send a thank you but of course it can't hurt.

Thank you so much for coming to our wedding! It was so nice to get to see you. We appreciate your support on our wedding day.

More than one sentence

I think it's nice to send a thank you for sharing your special day but it's not required by etiquette.

Technically, you don't HAVE to send one but it's a nice touch.  What Whit said is a good guideline.

We only sent thank you cards to those who gave a gift.

I know etiquette doesn't say it, but I think its still right to send everyone a TY card, regardless of if they gave you a gift.  They still are taking the time out of their schedule to spend their day with you, spending money on possible babysitters and getting to your wedding.  Maybe they truly just don't have any money to give a gift. 

Our TY notes for non-gift givers said something like:

Thank you so much for celebrating our wedding day with us.  We feel so blessed to have been surrounded by so many great family and friends on our special day.  Some of our favorite pictures from the day are of you breaking it down on the dance floor!  (or something similar about them from the wedding).

I'm probably a total snot, but we had a few people come to our wedding and not even give us a card.  We didn't send them a thank you.  For me, a card with well wishes = a thank you.  Otherwise, I thanked them for joining us at the reception.

KJB - I saw your post on another thread didn't even know it was you cause you changed your sig pic.  I love the new pic!

Ha! I figured I'd throw a wedding pic in there so someone can feel sorry for my husband.

Haha, great pic though!  I love the non-traditional WP ones.

Yeah, we were all drunk.  About an hour later, half the wedding party jumped in the pool.  We're klassy like that.
