My MOH never gave us a wedding gift..or even a card.
We noticed the day after the wedding but just assumed she forgot. When we got back from our HM, she said to me on the phone 'Oh I have your card in my car.'
The next day when we were talking I mentioned (I have no idea how it came up) how I heard people have a year to give a gift and we have a year to write thank you's (I think we were talking about how long it would take to get the thank you's). And she said 'Oh good, I have a year to give a gift.'
The wedding was a month and a half ago and she hasnt said anything since.
I'm not trying to be greedy...I don't expect people to give us gifts. But honestly, from my best friend/MOH I was hoping for at least a card!!!!
Its just so awkward to say anything and DH keeps asking me about it....

Wow. I can't believe how many other past brides have been in a similiar situation. It just boggles my mind how people dont bring a card!

Re: awkward situation
my moh didnt give me anything!!! but im not mad at her about it. she has no idea what a moh is supposed to do. she probably thinks that since she bought my gown help paid for my shower that was enough

Re: awkward situation
I know exactly what you're going through.
I have no answers.
It just hurts. It's not the cash. It's the card.
Sorry that you're going through this, Colleen...sorry that you're ALL going through this. It just stinks.

Re: awkward situation
if she mentioned that she has a year to give you two a gift, it can go two ways: she is saving up some money for your gift and reminds herself each day that she has to give you one or 2. she is going to wait it out long enough with the hopes that you will forget hopefully she has it in the back of her mind to get you and gift and is working on it! maybe you can pass a remark that relates to it, something like 'we are trying to save our wedding money for a house' or something like that to bring up the topic to see what she says!
