Settle this argument
One of Casey's friends sent a congratulations card letting us know that she couldn't attend the wedding. I think we should send her a thank you. Casey doesn't think we should since it was 'just a card'. I guess he's seeing it as kind of redundant...like if you sent someone a thank you note for sending a thank you note. Anyone?

I wouldn't send a TY- I think he's right. But no one said I was proper!

I do see what you're saying, why not call them to say Thanks- I got your card- blah blah blah...

It's a congratulations card so i would. If she came to the wedding she would most likely give the same card andyou would send a card thanking them in return. I say send one. Then she'll know that you recieved it.

Even though all the ladies said it...I agree...i'd send one. Just cause...that might be the only "present" she can afford and it's just a nice gesture.

I wouldn't send a formal thank you note for a card. What I would do is send a hand-written note on some regular (or nice) stationary instead. Let her know you appreciate the card, how you wish she could be there, etc.

That's a good idea. I was considering doing that for everyone who wasn't able to come. Is that overkill?

Yeah... lol. I think it is.
What you could do after the wedding is maybe send a little photo of the two of you (if you're getting them made) and tell them how it was, and you wish they could have joined you.
