Last summer we went to a good friend of DH's wedding, we gave them $400 dollars as a gift
They rsvp'd no to ours but said our gift was on its way, we just got the gift, which was about $50 dollars worth of bakeware off our registry.
DH was like they are done with.

This is the kind of post that will ALWAYS get mixed responses...heres mine...
Well, heres my question.. Do you know their financial situation? Do you know for sure that they have lots of $$$ and just decided to be cheap with a gift cuz they felt like it? If you answered yes then I would be upset too..however, if they dont have much $$$ I wouldnt be terrible upset... You may have been able to afford the $400 gift but perhaps they couldnt. Like I said, I would only be upset if they have a 3 story house brand new cars..a great jobs paying very well...otherwise I wouldnt stress it...

My MOH brought a date and gave us nothing. Does that mean that when she gets married and I'm in her wedding I should not give a gift?
It's not give to get. They RSVP'd no and didn't come so a $50 gift is a bonus IMO.
If they rsvp'd yes and didn't show and sent $50 I might be upset cause I had to pay for them even though they didnt come. But since they rsvp'd no, I don't think it's wrong at all.

Re: Just feel like venting
If you didnt want 50 dollars worth of bakeware then why would you even put in on your registry if you thought it was cheeezeeee..... It is very nice of them to take the time out and buy from your registry rather than send you a check for 50 bucks.
Honestly I dont remember who gave me what amount on my wedding day...I didnt keep track of dollars. I was just thrilled that almost everyone came and had a good time. The gifts were just extra. To be honest. I wouldnt think all high and mighty because you gave a 400$ gift. Its about the average gift these days. JMO

This is a good friend of DH's, they owned a business together at one point.
I guess he just feels that since we gave him their gift first they should of been smart enough to say to themselves, lets put this aside because their wedding is in a few months.
I duno i guess we are odd that we think that way.
I'm sorry, but I just think that is expecting way too much of people. They RSVP'd no. In terms of strict etiquette, not manners mind you, they didn't have to send you a DIME. JMHO and to be brutally honest, I think to totally cut them out of your lives is an immature thing to do.
