Question from almost newlywed!

Just wondering-did most of the people not coming to your wedding send a gift of some sort?

With a few exceptions, the people that did not come, did not send gifts.

Yes, many who RSVP 'will not attend' did send a monetary or wrapped gift. Others just sent a card but no gift of any format. To me, a card is better than receiving nothing. We sent TY to anyone who sent a card (with or without a gift). The remainder who RSVP 'will not attend' returned their RSVP but no gift of any form and no card. Just rude.

Close friends and family who could not attend did send a gift but people that were not as close did not.

our closer relatives send checks, and one or two had something from the registry shipped to us. We were very grateful for those, since it's technically not necessary. Our friends who couldn't attend didn't send us anything.

Oly one or two guests who replied 'no' for our wedding sent gifts but I don't think that is the norm.

Almost everyone who replied no to our wedding sent a gift or check the week before the wedding. I was amazed since I didn't expect that at all!

The majority of people sent a gift.

I would say for me it was like 60-40 (60 being yes). We had like alot of no's though (over 100 guests).

We had a low number of nos, but we didn't have a huge guest list either.....i'd say from about 20 nos, 10 sent gifts....
