Thank you notes- 1 half of couple attended but both names on card/gift

I would just thank them both for supporting your marriage and for whatever they gifted you with!

Okay thanks. I feel like there's so much etiquette that goes into these kind of things, I just don't want to be wrong lol the funny thing is, I'm over here stressing things like this but the specific attendees etiquette was terrible so they probably don't know the difference either way! *sighs* but still, I'd feel better knowing I'm on point

I feel ya! I think it would be perfectly fine to just thank them for the gift and their support!

As PP said, thank them both. The thank you card is for the gift. The reception is already the "thank you for attending."

Thank you so much for (put in what they gave/ why you love it or are thankful for it). Then finish with- I hope we’ll be able to all get together soon.

View Quoted Comment Agree with this. It's not improper etiquette for only one to attend. You don't know if they had other obligations they couldn't miss or whatever the situation is.

Thanks for commenting, however, that's not why I said their etiquette is improper. It's been jacked up from jump, starting from RSVPs lol and I know EXACTLY why they didn't attend, how long they've known they weren't going to attend, and they didn't even have plans on informing me. I had to ask them. But anyway, I digress cuz of course I'm going to thank them.

I see you are in agreeance that the reception was the thank you and the thank you note is for the gift but I'm also sending thank you cards to those who attended but didn't send a gift. Am I not supposed to?

Yes, typically you do not send thank you cards to guests just for attending. However, you can if you want.
