So we have been married for 2 weeks today! First and most importantly, I ordered our thank you cards at the same time as our invites so they're here and waiting to be filled out. When do we send them?
And, we are planning to send one to everyone we invited, we did not register and asked people not to give anything (not a brag, we are older, have been together a long time and have what we need/want, and are comfortable money wise) to say thank you for sharing in our amazing day with us. A friend of ours, who got married 6 months ago, told us we only send a thank you to those who gave us something, even just a card. We don't agree with this and plan on personalizing each thank you, we will say "thank you for "x"" for those that gave a gift/cash and "thank you for being a part of our special day" for those who didn't. Said friend says that that this wording will make people feel like they "have" to send us something.
I'm not easily ruffled but she is adamant about this. Opinions??
