I'm newly engaged and want to do the whole thank you note thing right. I know I need to send out thank you notes for gifts I receive, but do I need to send out thank you notes for other things? Do I need to send thank you notes to the people who have agreed to be in our bridal party? When else is it appropriate or necessary to send out thank you notes?

Gifts absolutely. The rest is a grey area and depends on your own style. You know how nice it is to be appreciated, and there's a lot of stuff associated with your wedding that's going to require other people to do things that they're only doing because they care about you. You take the extra couple of minutes to send a quick note saying thanks to the people that take significant time or effort to help you and I guarantee you nobody will complain!! You'll just be remembered as an extra thoughtful bride when many tend to become (understandably) self-absorbed during this time.
Best of luck and congrats!

I am a big thank you note person too....here's what i did
any engagment gift you get along the way send the thank you note out right away dont wait till after the wedding you will be overwhelmed....At your showers have the envelopes for the people to fill out their own info that way you dont forget anyonea nd you can tie it into a raffle for a gift...mention this to whomever is throwing the shower for you.....
I gave gifts to my bridal party at our rehearsal with a thank you note with their gift.....
As for pastor/dj/ whatever give them the thank you note when you pay them....put the money in the envelope....
Parents rehersal night too
Host and Hostess rehersal night ect
Any gift or when someone goes out of their way to help..decorate/address invites/make cake/throws shower or party...or ..whatever send thank you
Congrats and good luck

..over the years I have discovered you can "never" send out too many thank you cards..... it is better to send more, than to upset someone by not sending a card....this would include those who have agreed to be in the bridal party ... and shows that you are really grateful ... best of luck

you can never go wrong sending thank you notes; how sweet that would be to send a thank you not to your bridal party.....it's not necessary, but thank you notes are always appropriate.

No, its appropriate to send thank yous to your wedding party after you are married for all the time, money and support they gave you throughout the engagement and wedding process, but not for agreeing to be in your wedding party. You need to write them to thank any host of any party that is thrown for you (engagement/shower bachelorette) and you should also send both sets of parents thank you notes after you are married, but dont forget to thank them at your wedding also.
Best wishes!

Your best bet is to go to the library and take out a book on ettiquette. They may even have a book specifically dedicated to wedding ettiquettte. Some possible authors are Emily Post and Miss Manners. Good luck and congratulations!
