I had several guest either bring no gift or only a card. I'm good with this because I know the financial troubles people are having and I was just thrilled to have them at the wedding.

no gift = no Thank You?
only a card? a Thank You?

    You tried Fishy.

    Penny, atleast you posted them both only once.  They've seen worse offenses.

    We didn't send thank yous to those who didn't give us a card or gift. It's commonly debated here, but I'm in the belief that the reception was their thank you for attending, and writing a card that says thanks for coming comes off as being passive agressive to me.

    I believe that "thanks for attending" comes off as "and hey we noticed you didn't give us a gift", so I wouldn't send a thank you card for those who didn't give gifts.  I also wouldn't do it for those who just gave a card for the same reason: "Thanks for the card...noticed it was empty."

    I think they should receive a TY, simply for coming.  Like mentioned, they may have had to travel or sacrifice some other social event to attend your wedding. 

    I think it's just simply polite to say "thanks for coming & sharing in our special day" even though it may be a little cliche'.

    Congratulations!!! :-)
