So our best man's gf was pregnant and we went to the shower over 3 months ago and never received a thank you for our gift and I am insulted.
FH & BM are both latino- so FH says to me that Latino people dont send thank you notes- i swear sometimes he's a moron.
Anyhow, I know this is rude but I am sooo tempted to put a pack of thank you notes into the christening gift

You can totally do that in a subtle way! For showers me and my sister always give eachother thank you cards with everyones addresses already written on them. LOL maybe you could do that?
I agree that that is super rude and I think every culture understands that showing gratitude is appreciated!

Re: lack of thank you

Re: lack of thank you
WOW. Some people are just really late at getting around to writing thank yous. Maybe next time you see her, you could mention that you didn't get one, and did she send them out yet? Or, was there anyone else you knew at the shower that you could ask if they were sent? Was someone writing down who got her what?

yea someone wrote who got her what which is why I am confused- but thats a good idea I will check and see if anyone else got a thank you.

Re: lack of thank you
I'm still waiting for two thank you notes from two weddings from last April...
I've discovered that I shouldn't hold my breath

Re: lack of thank you
Your FH is wrong...I'm latino and have always recieved thank you notes or a thank-you call or both from other latinos as well as non-latinos.
Maybe his BM's gf just lacks etiquette.

Re: lack of thank you
None of FH's friends write thank yous---it drives me up a wall, we have been to quite a few weddings, I have had bridal showers and big birthday parties and nothing I think that you should include the cards, maybe they will get a hint

Re: lack of thank you
I am still waiting for a thank you from my cousin for my tiffany's baby gift I gave her in November for her son. I said something to my mom and she said don't expect people to live up to your standards , you will be disappointed .
I think it is extremely rude , but some people just don't know any better or they just don't care OR no one ever taught them that it is the right thing to do!

Re: lack of thank you
I would be insulted if a long period of time had passed. Three months is not that long. Personally I hope to have our thank you notes out before three months but preparing for a baby I am sure takes a great deal of ones time.

Re: lack of thank you
I guess it depends on what kind of an impression you want to give.
My mom (who is majorly manipulative) is convinced that I have not thanked her for different wedding things she is paying for (she's in denial, I've thanked her A LOT and even given her gifts), so for Easter she gave me a gift basket with thank you's in it. Because we'd been arguing about it, it really upset me and FH, but if you haven't ever brough it up to BM's GF, then maybe she won't be offended.

Re: lack of thank you
i am guilty of this myself... for our engagement party i prepared a DVD montage as a thank you for everyone that we handed out at the engagement party..but i also planned on sending hand written notes... they are written but i never got to send them due to all my medical and personal issues.. i've apologized to most but not all.. and still plan on getting them out as late as they are (our party was in sept) ... so maybe she had some stuff going on.. but then again some people just don't think of thank you cards either... maybe mention it next time you see them!!! hope you all don't think i'm an awful person now..lmao..
