Thank you Notes / No Gift

Victoria, on November 11, 2014 at 12:31 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

Hello, we got married in May and have finished up my thank you notes for guests that provided gifts. I recently decided to send thank you notes to guests who did not provide a gift, (keep in mind all but one were local) and just mentioned that their attendance was appreciated.. My question is, say if those guests later decide to give us a gift and I had already sent them a thank you note for attending, do i have to send another? Just rying to manage the thank you cards i have left, and also if i should just wait another 6 months to send them out.

    I like the idea of thank yous even without a gift. if they provide one later on, send another but it can be a regular card and not something special from the wedding, if you already sent one of those.

    While I generally disagree with sending thank you notes when there was no gift or special help offered, I would say if you are going to do it, don't wait any longer-- send them ASAP. If you delay, they will wonder if you were holding out for a gift.

    If they do end up sending a gift, yes, another note is necessary.

    I agree. Always send a thank you to anyone who attended. I also think you should send them out ASAP. Sometimes a longer time gap can make it seem like you found the thank-you's to be more of a chore than a gesture of appreciation. If you get a gift later on, send another thank you or even just a phone-call thank you.

    You thank people for coming to your wedding at the wedding. You thank people who gave gifts/cards via thank you card after the wedding. If they didn't get you anything, there is no need to send them a thank you card as you should have already thanked them for coming.
