Would you be mad? (Bridal Party Related)

If your new sister in law didn't give you an engagement gift, shower gift, or a wedding gift?!

She's 21, and has a really good job. I know that she makes more than I do!

As for being in the Bridal party, her only cost was buying the dress which was about $180.

I'm really trying to bite my tongue from saying something, or how could I say something in a nice way?

I always give her Christmas gifts, birthday gifts. And we get along really well.. so is it just lack of common sense??

A card would have been fine!

She probably doesn't realize ... or doesn't know better ... maybe her parents always give on her behalf

That's just it, her parents don't give on her behalf..
And her name was not put on either of the parents cards. So they aren't taking responsibility for it or her.

If she's mature enough to live on her own, I would hope she knows a card or gift is proper et.

For a shower? UMM hello, what does a bride do at showers? Open gifts!!! She coulda gave me a spatula!

She's always like 'omg.. I love you so much, you are the best.. etc etc. '

I probably would've been mad, but I wouldn't express it, just let it be, and then bring it up when needed.

I would be infuriated...especially with her now being a part of your family
Maybe have DH talk to her, he can politely say...when we went over our cards and started writing up what gifts we had gotten from people we didnt check you off...i just wanted to make you aware in case you wrote a check-I wanted to let you know in case we mis-placed it...see what her reaction is. maybe she will chuck up and say i didnt give you anything...or maybe she will say 'oh SHIIIIIT i totally forgot'

Good Luck either way....I dont know if I would be able to keep my mouth shut

Yes, I would be pissed, but it;s the kind of thing you can't say a thing about.

It *****!

i think its presumptuous to expect a gift from anyone. period. you have a wedding for your own reasons. if people want to give a gift, that's lovely. but who are you to demand one?
