Should I send thank you cards for people who just attended our wedding?

Not necessary. thanking them for coming to the wedding/reception should be done at the wedding. the bride and groom are supposed to go together to thank each and every guest for coming.

If you see someone out in the community, or if you e-mail them frrquently, you can thank them again, but it is not necessary.

Sending a thanks would be redundant, and might be interpreted as a smart alleck thing, pointing out that they did not give a gift.

By the way, the guests have up to a year to give you a gift.

We had our wedding recently and I wasn't sure whether we should send thank you cards to people who attended our wedding and did not give a card or a gift? Also we had people give ...show more

Yes

Send everyone a handwritten thank you note to thank them for coming to the wedding.

Don't forget that, even if they did not give you a gift, they likely spent some money to travel to your wedding (car, plane ticket, hotel fee) and maybe bought a new outfit to wear so they'd look nice for you.

The point of inviting guests to a wedding is to share your joy with them, not to get a present, which is why you should thank them for taking the time to come.

The reception is your 'thank you' to your guests, so you don't need to send out a card to thank them for attending the party. If you would like to send out a thank you, that's just fine, but not necessary.

I would probably send out a thank you to anyone that gave only a card, if only to give people the opportunity to let you know that there should have been a check inside it.

I didn't send thank you cards to the one family that came but didn't bring a gift.

No, thank you cards are for gifts. For the people who attended but didn't give a gift, you've already thanked them by hosting them at the reception.

No, the thank you cards are for gifts, not for attending. In fact, the reception is your thank you to them for attending.

PS - Yikes. This section is weird sometimes. Paula and Poodie are correct.

Doesn't hurt -- they were kind enough to donate a few hours of their time on you, even if they were too cheap to bring a gift. Makes you a better person.

If a guest didn't come to the wedding or send a gift, just sent a card, then no. You don't send a thank you note just for a card. If you see them just say thank you for your best wishes for our wedding.

You can send a note to people who came to the wedding/reception. Keep it shore. Thank you for celebrating with us on our special day.

Your reception is your thank you to the guests. An additional thank you is appropriate oly for gifts, not attendance.
