How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

We did, by his brother sister and a friend who gave us this thing that we cant figure out what it is

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

We had a few people come to our reception and give nothing,not even a card.
We received a couple of weird gifts from people too like fancy ash trays.(Neither one of us smoke.)

People are freaking weird, I dont even go with the not even a card theory.

If you cant give a gift stay your arse at home. Im sorry I know that its not about the gifts but I cant help myself sometimes

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

what are you writing in their thank yous. Im writing your genrosity was most un expected!

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

We just wrote "Thank you for being with us on our wedding day."
They should have actually sent us a thank you.

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

Yeah like thank you for letting me come to your wedding empty handed or for lwtting me pawn my unwanted gifts on you

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

I was really surprised how rude people can be.
I was shocked that people didn't even spend $2.oo on a card!

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

People are STRANGE

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

We also had people not show up after they said they were coming and we had to pay for them.
They never called to apologize or sent a gift.

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

ahh bs. What the heck. I enjoyed every minute of our wedding but I am glad it is all behind me.

I think I aged with all the stress

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

I guess those people just don't know better.
Oh well, what can ya do?
At least everything was great and everyone had a great time!

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

We had one guest give a money card with no gift inside. She was so sorry when she found out and said she would send the gift asap. Well it's been 5 months and still no gift. Oh well. Some people just totally forget things if they don't do it right away.

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

We had two couples not give a gift. One couple just sent us a wine rack with a case of wine to go with it last week (10 months after our wedding). She had said she was sending a gift, but we didnt get one until now. I really think she sent it because my husband dropped everything a few weeks ago to do some ridiculous favor for them.

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

besides the people who replied yes, but didn't show (none of them gave us a gift), we have received gifts from everyone (some a little later) but my classless 2nd cousin...at his own wedding he put in a fake gene simmons tongue when the minister said to kiss the bride...so I know I will never see anything from them...

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

oh GOD yes. I cannot even get into it.....it drives me nuts! By people that cancelled TWO days BEFORE!

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

We got stiffed by DH's boss (how friggin RUDE, not even a card), by a cousin, and so far, a friend who bounced a check and knows about it still hasn't replaced it.

Not to mention my saga with another distant cousin who responded no, then showed up to the ceremony and cocktail hour to eat, drink, and not did not congratulate us at all, but came to introduce everyone to her new husband. Bi***.

But, even in the crappy rain, we had zero no-shows.

We had quite a bit that cancelled a few days before and some no shows. It seems this goes on all the time. It is terrible that people think that it doesnt matter when they decide last minute that something better came up. I went to a wedding in April sick as a dog because I would never want anyone to do that to me.

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

wow, I guess we all have some rejects we know.

Misteyed I would have thrown her out. It was your day

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

Actually we were very lucky. We had no no shows and everyone gave a gift. We did get one bounced check though and we trying to figure out who's it was. We need to call the bank. I will say though that some people are VERY cheap!!!!

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

If I had known....if she even had the class to come wish us well!!

But my poor MIL had to see her, and got so nervous when she saw her and told her she'd have to make arrangements for seats...the biatch responded "no, I'm just here to introduce everyone to so and so"....right to her face, with a plate of fettucini and a screwdriver in her hand.

I vented about this on a post, I'm still so ****ed off about it I feel like sending her a thank you card saying "congrats on your marriage, maybe next time you can have YOUR OWN WEDDING".

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

I don't even want to talk about it! We got NOTHING from a bunch of folks..promising gifts before the one year was up. Well, it was up 2 months ago!

not even a card!

Don't get me started on the no-shows, and last minute cancellations!

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

Don't feel too bad. One of my sisters did not bother to show up for my wedding. She didn't call, didn't send a card or gift and has never explained in the almost 2 years since! For more than a year no one in my family spoke to her because of this. I still have not spoken to her(there are other issues as well) and this is something that really bothers me. I don't like to see my family divided.

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

Wendy, that is the worst thing..when it's family!

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

we had 3 no shows and 2 people who gave nothing.I honestly do not understand what is wrong with people - it is just rude

Re: How Many people got stiffed on their wedding gifts? Im sure its been done before.

wendy !!

my MIL didn't give us a card or a gift...but I think US weddings are different for her...I really don't care though...I love her nonetheless!!


but she did go to Spain (for 9 months!!! - 7 more than she thought) to sell DH's house for us...
one of those times that actions speak louder than words...


and DH's uncle gave us a small tiny cake topper with congratulations written on the bottom!! again...I am not upset about it...hes an old man and what does he know...he was never married...it was just nice to have him there...since he is the only relative of DH's father that we know
