I know that for an e-party you shouldn't expect gifts, and I will never say this to them but my cousins all 3 of them that i grew up with and have always considered siblings (the 2 girls are bridesmaids) came to our eparty and didn't even bring a card. And one of them asked to bring his gf so his ex wife who I am still close to didn't come, and one of the girls showed up late didn't help with anything and left early, the other bridesmaid cousin was super helpful and I kind of don't mind no card. They are the only 3 people out of almost 80 that gave us nothing ... We've had problems our whole lives and they have always been rude unkind and flat out cruel to me at times but I thought we had moved past all that. Like I said I know typically gifts are not expected for an eparty but not even a card when I have always made sure that for their birthdays and other special occasions is really making me angry, but of course I can't say anything because it would make me look greedy. but I really don't care about the gift it's that they didn't even take a few minutes to stop and geT a card. I saw them all for my aunts badly last night none of them said oh btw I forgot to bring your card on Saturday or anything. Am I being spoiled and bitchy?

I didn't really get cards at my e-party, but then it was an informal bbq.

Re: So disappointed in my family.... Long sorry
That is really messed up. I would be upset if I were you too. We got mostly cards but even people who didn't give a card brought a gift. I know you're not supposed to expect gifts but this day and age (esp in NY) it's just plain rude to show up without one.

I did not expect to anything at our engagement party but I was very surprise that we got cards, gifts and money. People that we invited even ask me was I registered anywhere and I said a gift was not needed but it did feel good to receive the gifts that we did receive so I know how you feel especially when its from someone that is really close to you.

Re: So disappointed in my family.... Long sorry
Thanks ladies I'm not even all that angry just really sad that they've yet again reminded me that they can do anything they want to hurt my feelings and I have to take it and be quiet because they're family.
