I can't find a straight answer on other forums on how many thank you cards to send. I bought 3 different designs since I know some will get more than one card. Are you sending a thank you to all guests who attend regardless of if they bring a gift? My FH and I had gotten some engagement gifts, and we expect most people to use amazon if they want to send a gift off our registry since it's so accessible and convenient for most people. That being said, we aren't going to sit on the gifts until after the wedding, we will open them (but not use them till after the wedding) and promptly send a thank you as they come in.
Is it redundant to then send another thank you for attending the wedding? We plan on making the rounds to tables and personally thanking people on the day of and if they attend our brunch the next day. We're waiting a year to go on a honeymoon, so I could definitely write thank yous to all guests for attending, but it just seems like overkill. I saw some cute ideas of sending a card with a photo from our wedding and having a generic "thank you for sharing our special day," but a I worry a mass mailing like that might defeat the purpose of a personally thanking someone for attending.
We are already sending/sent cards for the following: engagement gifts, attending bridal shower (gift or not), any other small get togethers, and wedding gifts as they come in or if they are brought to the wedding in person.
