guest that didn't give a gift

Should I send a thank yu card to the guests that didn't even care to buy a 50 cents card?

You don't. Guests who didn't bring a gift don't get a thank you card.

I immediately thought of Chris as well!

edit: spelling

No. The reception was the thank you.

PPs - Agreed. OP must be related to Chris.

? no why? or am I missing something?

The gifts shouldn't matter! A wedding is not about the gifts. This seems very entitled. Send a thank you for them coming. That's all you need to do. or leave it as the reception was a thank you

We only sent thank you notes to those who brought gifts. Otherwise the reception is the thank you.

No, no thank you card is needed in this case

The reception is the thank you to the guests who attended your wedding. As in thanks for coming here's some food and booze.

I didn't receive a gift from my aunt , but she traveled from Colorado to NY, so I felt I should send her one.

The funny thing is that the few that didn't bring anything not even a card, were the ones that can all dolled up with hair cuts, up-do's, ( it was a formal wedding) they came all dressed up with new outfits. They took the time for themselves, thats why I'm so surprised not to take the time to also look good on the inside by being thoughtful. I know it's the thought that counts, but when there is no thought behind, It bothers me and wonder what kind of friends/people they will be in my life not to care and only care about themselves.

If you are so thoroughly offended, don't send a thank you. It's not like they took the time and energy to celebrate your marriage with you...oh, wait...

You got married to your best friend and got to share that moment with your friends and family. Now you're at the beginning of the rest of your life, you have a partner! That is such a blessing. You made vows about love, life, health, etc. but you're worried about people who didn't give you money and judging how they dressed or showed up? I understand if you had a little disappointment but open your eyes and see the bigger picture here! This is not worth dwelling on.

My mother taught me to never come empty handed to someones home or event. No matter how small or inexpensive the gift is, the gesture that you took the time out to show respect for that persons moment is priceless. Thank you MOM. xox

Hi flor! I would give it some time!! We had a ton of gifts still arrive through the mail for several months following our wedding.

Also you do not have to send a thank you note for attending the reception if you do not want to. I was also pretty surprised by the number of people that attended our wedding and never gave a gift, but that's because I always give a wedding gift - regardless of whether or not I'm attending the wedding! However, we were firmly in the "surprised but not mad" camp. Just be happy they were there to celebrate with you!

"It bothers me and wonder what kind of friends/people they will be in my life not to care and only care about themselves."

Irony?

I honestly feel bad if I'm a guest at a wedding or a shower and I don't bring a gift or card.

FB99,

Pot does not meet kettle since this kettle would never be rude enough at this age not to know to at least bring a card wishing the newly weds well wishes.

But you don't feel stupid for writing a post about this...?

What do people not understand about the fact that people spend crap tons of money to attend a wedding sometimes? Their presence in your present. Anything beyond is extra.
