Hypothetical Situation...sort of a spin off on gifts..

One post got me thinking...what if you don't receive a gift from someone, and still send a thank you for being there, and then months later you get a gift from that same person. Would you then send a second thank you for the gift? I probably would...but I was just wondering aloud. Has this happened to anyone?

Yes, I would definitely send another thank you at that point.

Short answer: they get 2 thank yous!

Long answer:
Technically guests (and others) have 1 year from your wedding date to send a wedding gift. So if you don't receive a gift from someone who attends the wedding you send them a thank you with wording along the lines of 'thank you for sharing this special day with us'. If you get a gift after the wedding from said guest, you send a less formal thank you card for the gift specifically.

hope that helps. i'm a 'student' of emily post! lol
