This coincides with my early question about a No Gift party for our 10th Anniversary.
I know if people ignore the request and wind up bringing a gift or card that I am to send thank yous, but what about the people who follow directions and dont bring anything? Are you supposed to write a thank you to everyone for coming to celebrate with you? Remember this isnt a wedding, its an anniversary party, I know with weddings you are supposed to thank everyone in a hand written note, but are you supposed to with regular parties as well?

I would, if you're going to send thank you cards, thank the people who came in addition to those who brought gifts anyway. They will appreciate it, and it will show that you're not showing favouritism towards anyone who brought a gift as opposed to those who did not. I know, they were told that the gifts were not necessary, but just think of how someone who did not bring a gift would feel if they heard that someone who did received a thank you, and they did not. It would be hurtful.

Unless there's some kind of ceremony to go along with this celebration (a renewal of vows for instance), I wouldn't bother with hand written thank you notes. Just be sure to thank each person that attends and if you want to send something later, I would think that an email would do. Maybe include with a picture form the party. But if you're unsure, go for the note cards. You really can't go wrong there.

well, do you send thank you cards for birthday gifts or Christmas gifts? if you are that kind of person, i would send a card. but if you are the kind of person who says thank you and does not expect anyone to write you a thank you card for presents they recieve from you (other than a wedding) then i say do not send them.
personally i do not write thank you cards for birthday presents, i just thank the person as they give it to me or i call them if it is sent to me, i do not write a note.

yes.
do up a little favor and a thank-you note attached so they are handed out after the party as people are leaving.
