Thank you notes

  You don't have to - the reception is generally the thank-you for them attending the wedding.
  
  But if you want to just drop them a note and say thank you for coming, you can certainly do that.

  Please, just hit the post button once.  It takes some time, but it will post, I promise.  No need to push it 3 times.

  
  

  There are mixed feelings on this, and I don't think there is a right or wrong.  We sent TY's to everyone who attended, gift or not, since they took the time to come celebrate our marriage, and possibly travel to it.  Others feel the reception is a TY so no card is necessary.

  I probably would to cover the bases.  If they did give you a gift that was lost/stolen/something crazy happened to it they'd know you're not just ungrateful and may actually follow up to see if you got it since it wouldn't be noted in the Thank You.  Even if they didn't get you a gift at all, it's nice manners to acknowledge their presence at your wedding with a follow up note.

  I sent Thank You's to everyone who came - if they gave a gift/cash I went with "Thank you for the....." and if there was no gift, I just went with "Thank you for celebrating with us...."

  You could write them a note to thank them for coming and celebrating you.  If you are worried that they might construe a thank you note as a reminder to send you a gift, which I could see being the case with some people, I wouldn't send one.  The reception thanks your guests for attending the wedding.

  I've heard guests have up to a year to send gifts, so maybe they just haven't gotten around to sending one yet.
