now that im back from my honeymoon and all the hoopla is over i can vent.
many of our guests did not give gifts. not even a card. 14 people!
5 are his groomsmen inclduing his two best men!! did they think they didnt have to b/c they were in bridal party? but they didnt even get a card. and two a re married with kids!
besides that, several of our guests responded with a date and showed up solo which cost us.
and 2 couples and a guest responded, never showed up and never called or sent a card/gift!!!
im a little peeved. I know i would never do such a thing. some of his friends forgot their cards and sent them to us the next day.
and two of our checks we got from guests bounced!!!
so my questions are?
what do you do about people who respond but dont show up? bounced checks? can i redeposit a second time? people who didnt give at all? i know you cant really say anything but its eating me alive!

Re: stiffed, noshows and checks bounced!
Here is a kicker- His sisters and their singnificant others 'chipped in' on a card- they each threw in a ten. This is the same sister that got married two years ago and I fought over him to give her $100 since it was his sister. Now I know better with his side of the family! ha.

Re: stiffed, noshows and checks bounced!
I had I think 6 no shows!
2 were my cousin and her date and she was supposed to sing at the reception! She claims she couldn't find a babysitter, when I offered her someone she refused. Then I found out she had booked a gig that night (she's a singer) so Im avoiding her because IMO that is RUDE. She also lied to me and told me she sent me something from my registry - did I get it. Nothing was missing off my registry, I never got it and could just tell she was lying. I also then did not get any gift or anything from the wedding. I drove 8 hours and had to arrange to take a college final at another time to go to her wedding!
2 - my best friend and her husband - she got food poisoning and was in the hospital
2 random people I believe
We had no checks bounce and everyone who attended gave a gift.

If it makes you guys feel any better, I'm still getting gifts from a couple of people who attended but didn't give a gift that night and from people who weren't able to attend. So you never know...
