Spinoff to Gifts from those not attending...

are gifts usually expected WITH the decline response????

I've had a few no responses. 20guest, or about 11 or 12 cards, have been sent back with 'decline' but none of them have had any gift...

i dont want to jump to conclusions that none of them are sending us something, if normally it comes later...

what is standard? if you've done this, did you send a gift w/the RSVP? or later?

i just find it odd cuz i kno my mom sends a check w/the RSVP...or sends a card w/acheck at the same time as the RSVP
