Wedding thank you card question

4 replies

We got married last month, lovely day and were so grateful and happy to have family and friends with us. We both did a short speech and both made a big point of saying how much we appreciated everyone being there and thanking everyone for coming, and made a point of thanking people individually as we spoke to them on the day too.

I’ve just finished writing thank you cards to everyone who gave us a gift. Some did, some didn’t which is absolutely fine as we didn’t ask for anything/ have a gift list/ ask for cash or anything like that. If people asked what we wanted we just said don’t worry about it, but an awful lot of people gave us cash, vouchers or a little something anyway which is very generous and much appreciated. So obviously I’ve written everyone who gave a gift a thank you card - I’m just wondering now whether its the done thing to write thank yous to all guests for coming? I wasn’t going to but now I’m not sure if I should? As I say, we did make sure to thank everyone in person.

I’ve never had a thank you card for just attending I don’t think, not always for giving a gift either but that’s by the by:

I wouldn't even have thought of sending a thank you card for people just for turning up. For presents, yes, but not presence. I would be very surprised to get one too. I think you're fine as you are.

Just send them to people who gave gifts.

For gifts only.

I think it’s just because I’ve written ‘Thank you so much for coming to our wedding/ being part of the day’ type sentiments as well as thank you for the gift in each card that I started to doubt myself, but glad to hear people agree it’s not needed - don’t think my hand could take any more ‘best’ writing!
