someone doesn't give you a wedding gift, not even a card - nothing. :(
I have one person that didn't give us anything at all and hasn't made an attempts to get in touch etc...
One other person that wrote DH and email and said that he forgot the envelope at home and asked for our address. DH sent him the address 5 weeks ago and no check yet
One more person told me that he couldn't come to the wedding in APRIL and told me that he would be sending a gift since I attended his wedding last year and gave him a very generous gift. Nothing from this loser either.
We're sending thank you cards in a few weeks and I'm definitely NOT sending these fools anything!

I had people not give gift or a card (family ), but what are you to do. I sent them a different thank you then everyone else. Just said sorry you couldn't come. People sux sometimes.

One person???We had about 15!!!!!! Including some immediate family and bridal party members! But what are you going to do- I didn't have a wedding to get money and gifts and cards.

Re: I think it's really crappy when
OMG.....I totally agree. And here is a little vent of my own: A wedding is one of the most special events of someone's entire life. A gift is absolutely necessary! I know that nobody gets married for the gifts or cards, but it is totally tacky not to give. People technically have a year to give a gift, so perhaps more gifts are coming? Regardless, a card is definitely in order.
With that said....I think we all need to give cut our singe friends some slack. Perhaps they do't know better? I know that is way underestimating people (they should know better), but if they haven't yet been married....cut a little slack. For those who have been married, and didn't even give a card......SHAME ON THEM.

Re: I think it's really crappy when
I totally agree too! DH's own parents didn't even give us a card! They gave us money towards the wedding, so I didn't expect a gift from them at all, but come on, not even a card?! DH was upset too, I could tell His brother and my best friend (both in the wedding party) also didn't give a thing. And they know better. I just don't get people sometimes!

Re: I think it's really crappy when
omg!! I am so frustrated with this now too, I just looked at our list again as I started my Thank You's.........
2 parents 1 grandparent 17 friends 17 aunts and uncles 9 adult cousins 4 friends of the family
nothing! not even a card
i know they have a year, but this just seems like a lot to me....ok I will stop whining about this now, I think it is like the 3rd time I have posted it, but I sound like such a brat when I say it out loud, so this is my only chance to vent ok i feel better now hehe

Re: I think it's really crappy when
We had 4 people (2 couples) from Canada who missed their flight like geniuses....and they called us the morning of our wedding telling us they cant make it...okay fine...w/e...we had to pay for their plates obviously. After that they never sent a gift, never even called again, not even a card! How can I expect a card when they didn't have the decency to call?!

Re: I think it's really crappy when
its wrong and it *****--- and we had a few too--- I did send a few to some of the people I knew were tight on cash and felt it was more important they were there-- others not so much...
as a matter of fact one was rude enough to 'say' a gift was from her and it was actually froma coworker who couldnt attend ( which i knew in advance)

Re: I think it's really crappy when
Oh i made sure to send the non-gifters a Thank You...they were all OOters...DH's family in fact....so i sent a card saying 'so glad you could make it to the wedding..thanks for being there.'
I am not mad there was no gift...but the fact that we didn't even get a CARD...when i gave out blank note cards as FAVORS...they could've taken one & dropped it in the box saying congrats...hopefully when they get the TY they wil be reminded of their lack of a card even...and DH is always so generous to these people!
