2Nd Thank You Card for Attending

Ana, on July 1, 2019 at 11:28 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 9

We just got married on 6/14/19 and we had a couple who sent us a gift way before the wedding. As my manners dictate, I wrote them a thank you card as soon as the gift was received. Now that the wedding has happened, do we write a second thank you card thanking them for joining us but not for the gift (since we already sent one)? I've never encountered this situation before so would love any and all advice. TIA Ladies!

    I don't think they need another thank you card for their attendance

    The reception is the thank you for attending the ceremony, so if you already wrote a card thanking them for the gift, I think you’re good! I wouldn’t expect two thank you cards.

    Aw date twin! I wouldn't write another. I've had 2 people that came to my wedding and didn't bring a gift (we don't really do physical gifts where I'm from). One said she is sending a personalized gift, I'll wait to write a thank you once I receive it. The other is a corny friend of my mom who made no mention of anything and didn't bring a card. I'm not sending her a thank you. I thanked her with a meal, drinks and entertainment. I hope you had an amazing day!

    Hi there Ana!

    You already thanked them for their wedding gift, so you’re totally covered. If you wanted to send them another thank you note for coming to the wedding and again for the gift you can totally do this, however, It’s not necessary Smiley smile

    Do you have many thank you notes to write?

    We sent thank you notes to people who attended, but did not bring gifts, because nearly everyone on our guest list had to travel pretty far to come to our wedding. However, it's definitely not necessary.

    No, you dont' send thank you's to people for attending. You should have spoken to and thanked everyone in person the day of, and the reception is already the thank you for attending the ceremony. You're fine!

    Thanks! About 90 including our vendors! Not terrible, considering the normal size of NJ weddings Smiley laugh

    Thank you all so much!! I figured as much, but I just wanted to get some outside opinions. Best wishes for those that have yet to get married, and congratulations to my newly married brides!! xoxo

    If you want to, I think it would be nice to send a "thank you for attending and thanks again for the "gift") I think it would be a nice touch but its not necessary.
