Is it normal to send people thank you cards after the wedding if they sent you cards wishing you luck but were not invited and did not attend?

No i think the thank you cards are for the people who attended and got you a gift.

I wouldnt send a thank you card to someone unless they gave you a gift and/or attended the wedding. It's like sending someone a thank you card if they send you a birthday card. You'll have enough thank you cards to do anyway.

Yes, even if they only sent you a card. Some people can't afford gifts but maybe took time to sit down and write you a nice letter or even just send you warm wishes. I would absolutely send them a thank you card.

I did for all the cards we got for our wedding.
If you didn't invite someone to the wedding, but they sent a card, I think it's nice to respond with a thank you note, telling them a little bit about your day and maybe even a wedding photograph.
It won't take long to write a little note, and it will be nice for the people receiving it to know that you appreciated their thoughts!
Good luck with your wedding!

Absolutely, better still send them a personal note telling them how much you appreciate their wishes and how the day went and any honeymoon plans. It is also a great opportunity to fix up meetings with all your friends and relatives. This is even more true if you have received gifts as well as a card.

No.
You send Thank You cards for gifts, or for generous gestures of assistance (helping to plan wedding, etc)
You don't send a thank you card (per se) to thank people for communicating with you, or for simply attending. You simply communicate back.

I sent a card to someone's wedding when not invited. I didn't expect a thank you card, I didn't get one, and I wasn't offended. Maybe you could write them a note telling about your day and include a photo, I'm sure they would love to recieve it, but they wouldnt/ shouldnt expect it.

I think you'd be busy enough without having to do that
you could always send them a nice pic of the nuptuals if you have the time but it's not usual to send a thank you card unless they bought you a gift

Only send thank you cards to those who gave you gifts, or those who gave you services you did not pay for (for example, a friend of yours who sang at the wedding).

We got married last year and sent thank you cards to everyone who gave us a gift.
Some people gave us a gift who were not invited, we sent them cards too.
I think its traditional just to thank people for gifts.
