You'd be surprised on who gives you more and who gives you less or nothing. I'm glad you got a lot of nice gifts!

LOL, didn't I tell you?

Some people will surprise you with their generousity and some people will leave you shaking your head with how cheap they are. I am still waiting for some gifts, even from people who said 'the check is in the mail'

The best was a set of measuring scoops (All Clad, but still), from 2 people. it's like, do you know I paid over $300 for your meal alone?!?!? ahhh

We still didn't get gifts from all of our guests. I think we are still missing 5? But we got such generous gifts from people that couldn't even attend.

And then we got nothing from DH's cousin and his wife. They got married in London and we couldn't attend. I sent her a Shower gift and sent them a wedding gift. Never got thank you notes from either. And did not receive anything from them. Not even a card.

i do have to say one time i thought FH had the card, and he thought i had it, so we didnt give a gift

I ididnt realize until a month later when i was like 'where is the cashed check payment' that he said oh i thought you didnt, and i said no i thought YOU did!

so needless to say we send a check for a little extra with super apologozies!

Sometimes it's tough for people to budget. The economy takes toll and some people genuinely don't have the $$. It's sad but true.

this is what DH and I did. We were leaving for our HM the following morning, so we had to have our deposit slips filled out before we left so we could give to my mom to deposit for us LOL.

At our engagement party, FH's uncle gave us $50 for 4 people! And I just found out he's been making $3,000 to $4,000 EXTRA per month just blogging! I was soooo pissed. Even my MIL was like what the heck???

I think this happens to everyone sadly. We said we felt confident people would give us good gifts and when were surprised by how cheap people were. The best was a friend of mine brought $54 for 2 people. That was classic. Where the heck did u come up with $54!!! We had some people that were generous and nice with their gifts but it levels the cheap-o's out....LOL
