I thought about this a few months ago, and just thought about it again. My cousin got married a year ago this week and both me and my sister never got a thank you card. We gave her cash. And my sister gave her a gift off the registry. So we don't know if she ever got them. We noticed this a couple months after the wedding and thought maybe she had been taking awhile to get them done, but isn't this a little overboard??? Should we call and ask if she ever got the money? Its kinda rude that we havn't gotten a thank you yet if she did get the gifts....

You know, sadly, I feel this is becoming more and more common! My parents went to a wedding back in October and only got the thank you card a few weeks ago! 2 of my cousins got married this year, one in April and one in May - we have yet to receive thank you cards for either of them. And they never sent thank you cards for their shower gifts, either!!! It is just SO rude!!!

she sent them for her shower like right away. But we don't know if we are ever getting a thank you for the wedding- its been a year- is there really a point anymore? LOL. We just hope she got the gifts!!

Re: just realized....
I got married April 27th and I haven't sent thank you cards yet... is that bad? We ARE working on them.
I also went to a wedding Oct 5th and just got a thank you about a month ago.

Re: just realized....
i think u should call her and ask her about the $$. she most certainty received the gift off the registry if it was sent directly to her home. I went to a wedding last July and never received a thank you either. I guess if people don't know the etiquette they wouldn't send them out at all.

Re: just realized....
i'm still waiting on a thank you card from a wedding in December. I went to wedding last May, got the card about 8 months later. There was no hand-written note and the addresses were labels. What took so long?!? My point is that I think that more and more people just aren't doing them.

Re: just realized....
i can actually beat all of these so far. FH's cousin was married june 06, she didn't send out thank you until early this year.
her reasoning was her photographer took FOREVER getting her thank yous to her, and since she paid for them already, she wasn't going to buy plain thank yous and mail them in the meantime.
thats another reason i picked my photographer b/c they guaranteed me i'd have my pics within X amount of time so i can have my thank yous out within 8-10 weeks after the wedding.

Re: just realized....
we had the same thing happen a few years ago.. a close friend of ours got married and we gave them a really nice cash gift. 2 of our friends got thank you's and we got nothing.. as well as another friend of ours
everytime i see them i always wanna make sure they got our gift but feel funny.. and im always thinking.. do they see us and think.. there are those cheapos who didnt give us anything!
however since she is family i think you can ask her.

Huh, I thought it was bad that we still hadn't gotten a TY from last December. I think I sent mine (married in Oct) before that wedding even happened.

Re: just realized....
This is one reason I ALWAYS give a check, not cash as a gift...
I like to know that the rightful person has cashed it, not that any old person got a hold of the envelope with cash in it... make me feel better to see the check cashed from my bank account..

Re: just realized....
I probably should have given a check instead of cash. Just to know for sure. My bad. I did find out though that my mom got a thank you months ago- but my sis and I never. So who knows what happened! But she had gotten me a nice wedding gift, so hopefully they did get ours and dont think we are cheapos who didn't get them anything!
