And let me add that as I sit here thinking about it, I am certain all of the guests who traveled from out of town also received thank yous.
As far as I know you only send thank you's that gave gifts/cards. This may differ if you are having a DW or something then you likely thank everyone who attended.
Generally, I think you only give thank yous to those who gave a card/gift. I did also send TY's to those who traveled from far OOT though, since the majority of my family is OOT and not very well off, so it was a really big deal to me that they made sacrifices to come to our wedding.
You do not need to send thank you notes to guests for attending your wedding.

I wrote out and sent my thank you's for our October wedding about three weeks after the wedding. I used the list my sister complied as we opened our wedding gifts & cards. Done and done. Right?
Well, I'm not sure. We received two gifts from people in the last couple of weeks with apologies for not giving us gifts at the wedding. We were astonished! We had no idea certain people hadn't given us gifts. Obviously, the recent gifts were much appreciated and I sent out their thank you's right away as well.
But now I'm thinking, what if other's didn't give gifts/cards and therefore, we didn't send a thankyou? Should I go back and refer to our guest list and gift list and see if there are any people not on both so we can make sure we send a ty? Obviously we appreciate everyone for coming (with or without gift!) but I always naively thought you send tys to those on your gift list?
Is that horrible/rude/wrong of me?? What did you do?
