Thank you notes for the bridal shower

Hey everyone! Last week my mother threw me a beautiful bridal shower back at home and a lot of people came out for it. (I don't have a bridal party and she insisted on throwing it herself.) I had a great time and had a question on the thank you cards. I have a list of who gave me what item and am going to write their thank you's this week, but I noticed a few people came and did not bring a gift or card. Do I still send a thank you note? I know you still would send one if they attended the wedding, but wasn't sure what the etiquette was for the bridal shower. Thanks!

I would send one saying thank you for attending your shower and you're looking forward to celebrating with them at the wedding

I only sent thank you notes to people who sent or brought gifts. I'm not sure if that was the proper etiquette though.

@Sarah M. - Agree to disagree on the not sending a thank you for attending the wedding. If people take the time to attend my event, I will be sending a thank you regardless of them giving a gift.
@Angela - That's what I was thinking, too. Thanks for the confirmation!

I would not - I think if you thank them for attending it's sort of saying "and I know you didn't get me a gift" without actually meaning to say that

I can see all sides here, but I agree most with not sending one because you may actually be saying "hey where's my gift" without meaning to.

@Private_User832 - I'm afraid of that as well. I don't want to offend anyone, but on the flip side I live out of state. I'm also worried someone sent me a gift and I just never received it in the mail.
