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

Re: lack of thank you
Ok here's the thing - I'm Latina and I made custom TY cards for my shower (individualized for each guest with pics of them at my shower) and had them in the mail within 2 weeks.
HOWEVER, I do get the whole 'latinos don't send TY's' type of comment because NO ONE in my family sends TYs - I'm 1st generation American so I know the ettiquette here, but my family that was not raised here doesn't. Some of my cousins may not have been taught this either, so I can see how some people don't send them.
That said, my wedding was in October and my TY's for the wedding are just now getting in the mail - sometimes things happen and people are not able to get to it - in our case I had medical issues and shoulder surgery almost 2 months ago and am just now starting to move my arm again - BUTTT many of our guests may not realize this and may just think we're rude. I hope not... in your friend's case, having a baby is very time consuming and different people deal with it differently - so maybe she hasn't been able to get to the TY's - I know it's rude, but maybe cut her some slack? Sorry, just trying to give the benefit of the doubt.

Re: lack of thank you
Im still waiting for a thank you to a baby shower I went to. The baby is now 1 1/2.
Anyway...as far as being Latino, um.....why wouldn't they send thank you's? I've never heard of one nationality being more polite then another. Some people just dont' have manners, no matter whta their ethnic background.
Ugh. That's disgusting. Some people have no manners.
I love your idea of putting thank you cards in with the Christening gift! Though who knows if she'll take the hint! You're a bigger person than I am - I wouldn't even give them christening gift!

Re: lack of thank you
Who knows? Maybe her mentality was that her BF is close to your FH so she didn't need to formally thank you? When you get your gift from them, just thank him in the Thank you! hahahaha!

Re: lack of thank you
ok im latin and I send thank you's. I think it just depends on the person and obviously she has no manners. Maybe she told her Bf to say thank you on her behalf and he just forgot. Men are very forgetful!!!

Re: lack of thank you
My shower was in February and I haven't sent my thank you's yet even though I got married in March. They are all written out and addressed but I swear it's like everytime I go to mail them something happens. I feel like such an Assss.
Maybe she did send a thank you but it got lost in the mail? Or maybe being pregnant and then having the baby just overwhelmed her and she has no time?
can you tell that my guilt is making me take her side? lol

Re: lack of thank you
I feel your pain.....can't stand it when people don't send a thank you. I sent my friend in Florida a baby gift over 2 mos. ago and called her twice, and she hasn't bothered to return my calls or send a thank you. Sorry I know this sounds petty, but that is the last time I will buy her a gift-baby or otherwise!!!!! UGH!!!!!
