We just thanked them for sharing our special day with us.

Definately this!!! Especially if they are good friends of yours.

I had a friend who got sick the day before my wedding (like emergency surgery type sick) and her and her husband could not make it. When I went to their wedding...i think I gave them $200. They were nice enough to send us a card with $75 in it as a gift and they did not even come to the wedding. They felt horrible that they had to cancel last minute, but I was grateful and did not expect anything from them because I know how hospital bills, medication, time off from work can all add up. A wedding is not about money...its about time with the people you truly care for in your life. Think about that before you write a nasty thank you card.

I would never be nasty! Never! I had a similar situation as yours and was not bothered by that. Trust me I understand hospital bills dh was in the hospital till the week before the wedding!!! I was curious if you write thanks for the gift or still add in generous.

I did not say you would be nasty, but the 'FU' in the subject line implied that. Sorry for the miscommunication.

you don't need to say 'generous' ... i highly doubt your friend will be analyzing every word

i guess it depends how much she gave (if it's like $50 total, i'd just write 'thanks for the gift' ... otherwise saying 'generous gift' sounds like you're being sarcastic)

I don't think that is right. We got shafted by one couple and I'm still sending them a very generic card.

Re: FU thank you?

Actually I think you are thanking guests for coming to your wedding..not for the gift per say.

But I agree I have to grit my teeth and write them to some who did not even give a card. I think that annoys me more..you can get one for 99 cents like someone metioned before

totally agree. You invited them there to share your special day, you didn't invite them just to get a gift (I hope). Send them a thank you for sharing in your day and forget about it.
