I had 2 older cousin's from out of State attend our wedding with guests and not give us as much as a card. One of their wedding's was 1 year and a half ago which we attended and gave a nice gift. I can not let this go unnoticed. I want to write something in the Thank you like ' Thank you for being there to celebrate our wedding. By the way we never received a wedding card I just assumed it was lost. Just wanted to let you know. Help me phrase this any suggestions??
P.S. We also sent a nice gift to my other cousin (their brother) whose wedding we couldn't attend in Florida 8 months ago. They didn't come to our wedding and of course nothing from them either

Technically guests have up to one year to send you a wedding gift. They may have not had the money to give you one right away. I wouldn't mention it in the card at all.

I agree, and at the same time technically you have a year to send the thank you.... so put it off in case you get something?

I know that's etiquette but I do not believe that's the case. Since I also have a year to send a thank you maybe I'll wait it out

Re: Another spin off to bounced check
well, we invited my cousins family.... never got the RSVP, so we emailed... he said only he could attend.... and then at the last minute he cancelled becuase his wife had a bad back.... and they never sent a card....
mind you, a month earlier, their daughter had her first communion, and we sent a card... (never got a thank you either)...

Re: Another spin off to bounced check
there were about 5 of DH's friends that did not give anything. No card, No gift! I held onto all of DH's friends Thank you's until they came over one weekend to celebrate no such occasion, and about 2-3 hours after everyone arrived I just magically 'remembered' to hand them out. After I was done I looked at the guys who didn't get Thank you's and I was like 'OMG how could I have missed so many people', I ran upstairs, got my notebook with the names of people and the gifts they got us, ran downstairs and said 'OMG I don't even have your names on here' We must have lost your cards. They all felt stupid said nothing, and about 2 weeks later we did get cards from 3 of them. Still no gift, but they were at least thoughtful enough to give a card.
ETA: BTW, this whole plan was DH's idea, he just said he felt too bad executing it, so he asked me to do it.
