Sorry I answered before I read your post (I shouldn't do that LOL)
If you are still sending Thank yous on top of those thank you's for gifts - I think you are golden!
I think you're ok. We had favours at our wedding, a thankyou note on the programs and said thankyou to everyone in person who was there. Am I going to handwrite and send thankyous to people who came but didn't give a gift or card? No. I have already thanked them for their presence so I don't think I need to do it again.
I wanted to do the same thing for our DW-but instead we ended up with OOT bags that had personalized items in them so I think that counted. :)
oops! should have read your post first before i voted! if you are sending thank you's for people who give gifts then that's totally fine!
I also think you'd be okay as long as you sent another note to those that brought a gift. = )
I'm very relieved that you're not suggesting that for gift thank yous! But still, I say no, because I'd rather have a personalized note (get small paper so you don't write as much, making the process faster and easier) or just a mention in person - "thanks for coming, it means so much to me". Mind you, 'personalized' doesn't mean original for each, just a handwritten "thanks ___, I'm glad you could come/looking forward to seeing you". Get your FI to do half! Although, if you're including something like a list of restaurants in the OOT bag, it could say Thanks for coming at the top.
I think just a quick thank you note is fine! it's not like you aren't sending a gift thank you....i know ours said "hey thanks for coming!" or som4thing like that.
Then we sent our real thank yous
Sounds fine to me since you are sending the real thank you notes for any presents.

Quick question about thank you note etiquette.
I am having a domestic destination/weekend wedding. The closest guest to the location is 2 hours away. Most are 4+ or out of state. So I am planning on doing OOT bags.
I would like to include a personal note in every bag, time permitting. However, if those notes could also count as the thank you notes for people who don't send a gift (I would of course send a separate note for gifts), that would actually inspire me more to finish them. Because everyone is travelling, I expect a lower than average number of people to bring gifts.
Thoughts? Can a thank you note in an OOT bag cover the "Thank you for attending my wedding" note?
Be totally honest, I'm not emotionally invested in this yet.
