Thank you notes?

We got married on 6/22/2019, I am currently working on all our thank you notes and almost done, but am not sure about a few thing/who we should send them to

I have written/sent notes to:
-Everyone who sent a gift/money before the wedding
-Everyone who brought a gift/card with a check or money to the wedding
-Everyone who helped in some way at our wedding (MC, programs, cake, wedding party etc)

Do I need to send thank you notes to:
-Those who sent gifts/money beforehand and also attended the wedding (like a thank you for celebrating with us, they have already received a thank you for their gift)
-Those who attended the wedding and brought a card (no gift/money)
-Those who attended the wedding but did not bring a card or gift
-Those who sent a card (no gift/money) and didn’t attend the wedding

Thanks in advance for your advice on this!

    I think the last ones don't NEED a card but if you have a generic thank you for celebrating with us for those who came to the wedding it'd probably polite.
    Those who sent a card but not wedding without money or gift don't need a card. If you want to send them one it's super polite but definitely not needed.

    Thank you! That was my thought process but I just wanted to check and make sure I wasn’t being rude!

    -Those who attended the wedding and brought a card (no gift/money) No
    -Those who attended the wedding but did not bring a card or gift Definitely not
    -Those who sent a card (no gift/money) and didn’t attend the wedding No

    I feel they if they didn’t send anything in the card and didnt come to the wedding there’s no need to send a “Thank You” card- a text or email would work as an acknowledgment you had gotten the card.

    If you've sent a “Thank You” already for gift, I don’t think you need to send another.

    Anyone who attended the wedding, even if they didn’t do a gift, should get a “Thank You”- of some sort, an email or a card.

    I got married on June 8th and just started working on thank you cards as well. I would say no to sending a thank you card to the people who did not bring you anything.

    I would say "no" to all four. If you really want to, you can send them to those who attended and brought a card, but I would make that the limit. Kudos to you for being so on top of your thank you's!! I love a prompt thank you note.

    Thank you! I think I’ve decided no on all Smiley smile When I graduated from high school, my mother imposed a rule that I couldn’t have the money or cash the checks until the thank you notes were done, and it’s something that has stuck with me since then.

    I hate having things like this linger, and I’ve been to weddings where we didn’t get thank you notes for almost a year (or not at all), so I always write and send them immediately!

    This was super helpful! I got married end of August and was having same dilemma about where to draw the line. So thanks for asking this question, it helped me out as well!
