Here is the problem. The couple gave me a check, it bounced and I redeposited it back to the bank, it bounced again. The couple called me (a guess they were a bit embarassed) told me not to redeposit it a third time and instead would send me cash through the mail. It's been a month and I still haven't received anything and I am a bit worried it got crossed/lost in the mail. Do I even bother calling them about it or should I just forget about the entire thing?
Now I am thinking ahead. Do I even send them a Thank You card? What would you do?

Re: Did anyone get stiffed ...
I got stiffed by one couple... it was a guy that I worked with and his guest. But a few weeks after the wedding, he was laid off so I guess that's DONE! NovemberSue - you are very kind! I never sent him a thank you. Although it would be a good reminder to him! Doubt it!

Re: Did anyone get stiffed ...
I got stiffed by my FIL, not even a card and to boot he had us invite all these friends of his who said no after the response date, by then it was too late to invite people we would have preferred to.

Re: Did anyone get stiffed ...
Another one who got stiffed here!!!
One check bounced. And one couple, who canceled the day before the wedding, didn't send a card or a gift. She is my cousin for heaven's sake!!! She's notorious for doing stuff like that, too. I don't ever want to invite her to anything again! She said she'd come to my engagement party, and never showed up. She said she would come to the bridal shower, no show again. Then canceled the day before the wedding with no card or anything! Some people!!!!!
It's not even about the money. I'm not like that. It's the PRINCIPLE!!!!!

Sometimes I think it is just a mistake. At a wedding once, my uncle made a similar mistake. When the groom came over, my uncle handed him the Place Card rather than the envelope with the check. Obviously, when my uncle figured it out he sent them a check.

We didn't get gifts from several people - Including my aunt and grandmother! We also had two of DH's relatives (aunt/uncle and cousin) bounce checks. To me, that's even more lame than not giving a gift - I got charged for those!! I wouldn't have minded no gift - Just a card would have been suficient.

Re: Did anyone get stiffed ...
wE GOT STIFFED TOO. dont get me started on that. even after bringing it to their attention they claimed to have dropped in the card box. then wouldnt put a stop on the check. then was suppose to mail another. then the wife was to give me a card/gift at a baby shower, never did. plus they responded 4 and only 3 showed. one daughter didnt come. they claimed to have left a message on the machine - not.
one other responded 3 and only 2 came. the hubby is notorious for not going to event so dont respond yes. and the gift barely covered the 2 that came. uhhhhh beside the money no card either that is so cruel. they wont be getting a thank you card from me.

Re: Did anyone get stiffed ...
I got stiffed by 3 who attended (2 of them were in the bridal party and the other claimed his date stole the card with the cash) and 2 more responded yes and didn't show up or send a gift. I also had 1 of my younger cousins give me a card with no gift, I completly understand, he lives on his own and has no extra money. I am just glad he came to the wedding.

Re: Did anyone get stiffed ...
we got stiffed by almost 15 people!
we are shocked, not even a card.. not sure why and 5 are from his wedding party including both his best men!!!. did they not believe they give a gift if they are inthe party? but some did and some didnt. there were a few noshows that said they were coming to the wedding and they didnt send anything, not even a phone call as to why they didnt come!
