Thank You Notes

Danntom2013

We're sending out thank you notes out in a few weeks.  My question is, do you send thank you notes to people who attended but didn't give a gift?  Also, there were some who would not attend, but sent a gift.  I plan to send them thank you notes.

Also, is it OK to do personalized thank you notes on a computer?  Neither of us have very good handwriting! 

Thanks!

Just thank you notes for gifts. Personalized is always better. I know I've received some ugly hand writing ones and I still appreciate the effort. They don't have to be perfect.

It's not ok to type them.  As much as you try to personalize, it's going to come off that you mass printed.  Take the time to slowly print them.  I have terrible chicken scratch, but I managed to muddle through.

There's two schools of thought on non-gifting guests.  It's never necessary, but some people think it's a nice thing to thank them for coming.  Others (including me), fear that they could be seen as a passive aggressive mention that there was no gift, especially considering that the reception is the thank you to the guests.

Absolutely send one to everyone who gave a gift whether or not they attended.
