Thank you notes

Hi there! I was just married 10 days ago! My husband and I left the morning after the wedding & came back 8 days later. Yesterday while we were off one last day we opened our gifts. Only 1 of them was just a card, no gift included. I already made out all my thank yous, stamped them & their on their way. I thanked the one person who just gave us a card for being there and for the wishes, but what I'm wondering is, was I 'supposed' to give them a thank you for just a card? If I get cards in the mail now, do I need to thank them if they don't include a gift? Thanks!!

    If you get a card in the mail from someone who did not attend your wedding, you may send them a thank you note for thinking of you. However, it is not technically required.

    Also, good on you for getting all your notes out so quickly!

    There are a LOT of mixed opinons on this and even the etiquette world disargrees with itself.  \

     

    I think it's best to decide for yourself based on the people.  If it's someone you're really, really close to and you don't think they would take it as gift-grabby then I think it's okay.  SOME people may take it as gift grabby, so you need to be careful.

    Personally, I wouldn't send a thank you note for receiving a card.  Next time I spoke to the person, though, I would be sure to thank them for it.

    I have a friend that attended a wedding, and planned to send a gift a couple weeks later. A week after the wedding she got a TY note saying "Thanks for coming to the wedding". It def felt like a passive agressive dig for not bringing a gift. If there is no gift, then I wouldn't send one. The card is to wish you well. It would be like sending TY notes for X-mas cards.

    Thanks for the help ladies! I'll keep this in mind if anything comes in now that the rest are mailed!
