Do you send thank you cards to wedding guests who attended, but did not give a gift?
473405
A person who attends the wedding gave you the gift of their presence to witness the most special day of your life.  You should send them a wedding thank you card.  But, unlike the other cards of appreciation you send out don't include that special note to them.  With the other thank you cards you should address what they gave you.  That will end up getting back to the person who did not give you a gift.

Don't worry, you are not being rude, your friend is.  She might be being a bit thoughtless because she's busy arranging her wedding.  Gift vouchers are perfectly appropriate.  Just give as much as you can afford and include a card with some heartfelt words about how much your friend means to you and how glad you are that she's getting married.

Print new invites if they haven't been mailed.  If not, do the line-out method.  Labels will look tacky, so I recommend avoiding that.  If they have already been mailed, you'll have to print an amendment card for everyone.  Something simple that just says "Please note the date of Jan & Joe's wedding is now January 1st, 2007.  All other details remain the same."  You could even include an apology and a 'we hope to see you there'.  : )

I wouldn't think it necessary as far as regular rules of etiquette go, since it was an indirect act (it wasn't donated in the name of your sister-in-law). I would definitely thank her, and possibly giver her a token or gift of appreciation, and tell her how much it meant to you.

The proper etiquette is to take a gift to their house before or after the event or send a card with a gift card or money order in it.  (The amount would be up to you and what you can afford & how close you are to them.  $20-$50)  Just put yourself in their shoes, if you invited people to either event, what would you want or expect them to do?  Remember these parties are thrown to help the people that are being celebrated with their new expenses.   ;o)

Your wedding reception is the same day as mine!  I say take the gifts and send them a thank you.  What would be the alternative?  To hand it right back to them and tell them again that you would prefer no presents?  A lot of couples keep the ceremony itself to immediate family only and then invite the rest of the guest to join in the celebration with them.  Gifts are not for the ceremony alone, they are for the unity of the two.  They are for the celebration in general.  Also, many times when the couple expresses the "no gift" preference, it can also be read as "we prefer money."  It's your wedding!  Open a gift or two!  It may even be something the two of you could really use.

do NOT give gifts of thanks for your promotion. you EARNED what you got. i know you must feel thankful and all that but they do not expect a gift and its not even really appropriate .the best "gift" you can give them is to continue to do your best and show them you deserve it!

dont expect a gift, it is possible someone may get you one to mark the occasion, but they are mainly coming to celebrate with you. i didnt get a gift, and wasnt expecting one. well, i say i didnt get a gift, but, a new life with Jesus is sure special

Add the thanks in the detail or email the person. I am sure they would like to know they were helpful. Something specific is especially meaningful.

According to Peggy Post: "A guest invited to a shower should bring a gift. If an invited guest can't attend, it is not obligatory to send a gift; however, a close friend or family member sometimes chooses to send a gift regardless."

You can get hired help on anything for a wedding - Except the Groom!!  Try the internet just look up invitations. That will cover all stationery.  Also ask your photographer- mine did my thankyous for me i jsut had to post them out.

A gift in return for a gift can be a slippery slope and might lead to an uncomfortable cycle of "thank-you" gift giving. However, nothing is more appropriate than a well picked and well thought out card to express your thanks for her thoughtfulness. I suggest you go to www.quotationspage.com and pull out a nice quote about giving. This will show that you really took the time to think about her actions.\nAnd when her birthday rolls around, yes - it would be perfectly appropriate to give her a small token as a remembrance of her gift.

In general, it's always better to send a more tangible thank you note...  it's a great keepsake for the receiver, and shows that you truly appreciated all their time and effort in helping you celebrate such a momentous occassion.  an internet card usually only conveys the "I don't have time for this or you" meaning (which is never good).  Show them that you care, send them a real thank you card, and personalize each one.  :)

Thank them for there gift.  For example: Thank you very much for the $20 you sent for my graduation.  It doesn't have to be fancy or long.

Emily Post says nothing specifically about it, but I don't think you do write a note inside.  The bride will likely never even see it, since all of her necessary info is on the outside!  Here's a few more pointers...\n\nTips on being the perfect guest \n\n\nRSVP. Immediately. \nRSVP is French for “please respond” (répondez s’il vous plaît). Your most important obligation as a guest is to respond to the invitation immediately, especially if you are unable to attend. At the very least, it allows your host and hostess enough time to give an accurate count to the caterer. There is usually a card to return with your reply. If not, you may write a formal reply or a note indicating your intention. \n\n\nRespect your invitation. \nDo not ask your host or hostess if you can bring a date or your children. The invitation will be addressed to the people invited. If you may bring a guest, your invitation will read “Mr. John Phelps and guest.” If your children are invited, they will either receive their own personal invitations or their names will be listed under yours on the envelope. This is not the time to question your host’s decision, to argue or to beg for an exception. And, please, do not add their names to a reply card or show up with them anyway! \n\n\nSend a gift. \nIf you are invited to the ceremony and/or reception, you should send a gift, whether you are attending or not. Generally, gifts are sent to the bride in advance of the wedding. In some localities, gifts are brought to the reception and placed on a special table. If you hear from family that the couple would prefer a charitable donation—as in the case of an older couple or an encore wedding —please respect their wishes. If you receive an announcement after the wedding has taken place, you may send a gift if you wish, but you have no obligation to do so. It is nice to acknowledge the announcement with a card or a note expressing your best wishes. \n\n\nBe on your BEST behavior.\nBe on time, wear appropriate clothing and be respectful during the marriage ceremony. Pay your respects to the hosts, the wedding party and other guests at the reception. And remember. \n\n“The good guest is almost invisible, enjoying him- or herself, communing with fellow guests, and, most of all, enjoying the generous hospitality of the hosts.” - E. Post
