Thank You Gift for Zoom attendees

I got married on 10/10/20 with 75 people in attendance. My guest received a box of wedding favors (hand sanitizers, fancy soap, beard balm, bottle opener). I also had my wedding live streaming on Facebook for at risk guests and those uncomfortable attending because of COVID. During the live streaming I had 116 watching. Every in person guest gave a gift valued at $50 or more and many of the FB guest attendees gave $25 or more towards our honeymoon registry. What kinda Thank You gift/card should I give to FB guest who gave money? Should I send a personal thank you note to virtual attendees? As for the in person attendees, many took a risk to travel to our wedding during COVID. I really want to send a special Thank You, besides a photo card. Any suggestions/ideas on both? BTW, the families that traveled spent at least $1000 to attend and gave a gift over $100.

If you have a list of those who logged into the Zoom call, I would send a thank you note! I would also definitely send a thank you note to anyone who sent a gift, regardless of if they watched virtually or not. If you didn't send favors to those who watched virtually, and if budget allows, you could send favors to each person along with the thank you card as well.

Send a thank you card for sharing in your day. In addition to any gifts sent. Favors for your guests are not necessary. Save your money.

That's so sweet that you sent your guests a box of wedding favors!! All you need to do is send everyone a heartfelt thank you note. No additional gifts needed!

You only send thank you cards to those who give a gift, or do a special service , like setting things up for you, airport runs, giving you a shower. When all gift thank you cards are done, you may write notes or letters or calls to anyone you want, but you do not owe a thank you to those who came. In ettiquete, guests thank hosts, hosts do not thank guests, for attending beyong saying, it is no
ice to see you here . For weddings, unlike other big parties, the guests are excused from writing thank you to the wedding hosts or couple because it is assumed they got the couple a gift and a card with it. Of you give a regular party, the guests should send you the hosts a thank you for inviting them to the wonderful party. The hosts provided the setting, the occasion, all food and drink and entertainment. They do not then thank people for coming to be there, eat and drink. That is backwards.
You write a thank you note for gifts you receive. Guests thank hosts for the party, hosts do not write any note to thank people for coming or watching.
