How long after the wedding were you still getting gifts?

I'm just curious. We didn't send a gift to a couple we don't know very well (we didn't go to the wedding), I just totally forgot. I'd like to send a gift now. I know etiquette says 1 year, but I still feel funny sending a gift 4 months later.

How long after the wedding are/were you still getting gifts?

I'm still receiving gifts and I'm almost hitting my 1 year mark. I think you can still send the gift if you want too...I'm sure they will appreciate your thoughtfullness.

Still getting them...a year later!
The rule is one year, and some people really live by it.

Ditto Michele.

Those people that stiffed us never sent us anything and I would bet my life that I wont be seeing anything in the future either.

Re: How long after the wedding were you still getting gifts?

the last gift I got was on my wedding day! All our gifts were either sent before the wedding or given to us on the day of - the 2 stiffers still haven't sent anything, and I'm SURE they won't ever.
