Have you ever sent a wedding gift and never received a thank you note?

Question

Have you ever sent a wedding gift and never received a thank you note?

Answer 1

Yes and I was angry about it.  C'mon...how long does it take to write out a thank you note.  Your guests spent more time driving to the store to get the gift, bring it home, wrap it, than it takes to write out a simple thank you note.

Oh my, Bubbles, I have never heard of the combo Christmas card/Thank you note!  Now that is rude AND tacky!

Answer 2

In fact, I am waiting for one right now, almost 3 months. And this from the daughter of the friend who claimed her daughter was raised right, there will be thank you notes!

I guess mine was the e-mail from her mother telling me daughter liked the money.

Really, in all the years and all the weddings[not to mention showers], I think I've got about 3 notes, and one neglected to mention the money I gave her in the card with the gift, and told me later she was unhappy with the cost of the gifts she got, and the amount[too few], and the kind[she got hand made Xmas ornaments from a unemployed student friend who drove almost 4 hours to the wedding].  And griped about a not invited member of her church who came to the wedding and gave her a set of tea/towels pot holder. I don't remember if she crashed the sandwiches and punch reception or not, but really, the tea towels exceeded the cost of the sandwich and a cup of punch!.

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Yes, and

"It happens quite often in India"

Answer 5

Yeeeeeup. And I still get irritated by that. And I know I shouldn't.

Answer 6

We have brought gifts to weddings and not received thank you notes.

Incredibly rude.

Answer 7

I know with my wedding I did not get to send everyone a thank you note. Not everyone signed the guest book and some of those that did actually sign had some of the worst handwriting ever.

Answer 8

Yes. I'm ok with it. When couples get back from their honeymoons, they have so much on their plate. Thank you cards aren't really a priority.  

Answer 9

Yes, I have.

At my wedding, there were some gifts that I had no clue who the came from -- the cards got mixed together, and the people didn't tape them onto the gift. I had to go ahead and write thank you notes to everyone that attended and if they sent a card with no money, I wrote "thank you for the gift" and hoped that one of the gifts actually was from them. I suggest that you buy those little cards and wrap them inside of the gift, so there definitly won't be any confusion that it's from you. Although that's not always the reason for not getting a thank you note. Some people just don't know that it's rude not to send one. :)

Answer 10

i've been waiting 3 years for a thank-you note from a friend to whom i personally delivered a shower gift (i had to decline my invitation for travel reasons) and spent money i barely had on a wedding gift for her.

i went to her house months after the wedding and saw all the thank-you notes stacked in a box--unused--by her couch.

it takes maybe one minute to write a note. and another minute to address it, stamp it, and walk to your mailbox. there's simply no excuse for not sending a thank-you note!

Answer 11

how long has it been? it could take up to 3 months

it's rude when people wait so long to send thank you notes!

Answer 12

Now that's Tacky!

You do have to consider the mail- they are small and do get lost sometimes!

Oh, and I hate this combo of wedding Thank-you/Christmas card people are now doing?  Have you seen it?  Basically a post card picture of them at the wedding with a Thank-you and Merry Christmas printed on the bottom of it.  Your so lazy you can't write something personal about the money or the gift I gave you?  Wow, thanks- I feel special now.

Answer 13

Yes.  I have both a shower and wedding gift (both on the registry as well).  I attended both and never got a thank you card or call.  

Answer 14

Yes, my roommate from college was getting married somewhere like 8 or 9 hours from where I live, then she was having a reception 2 1/2 hours away from where I lived, so since it seemed to far too travel to me, I could not attend. I felt bad I couldn't be there, and still wanted to do something nice, so I ordered online from her wedding registry and had the gift wrapped and all that and shipped to her house. Well it's been like 2 years, and I STILL haven't heard anything from her about it! I've always wondered if she ever even got it, because she never said one word. I wanted to ask, but felt like that was rude.

I understand that people are tired after their wedding, but make time to send thank you notes! I do this already after birthdays and christmas. I want people to know I'm appreciative of their kindness.

Answer 15

Yes. I went to a wedding in May and still did not get a thank you for the target gift card I gave them. It really annoys me because this was a huge, all-the-frills wedding, so you can't tell me they don't know that it's polite to write a thank you note.

Answer 16

I think I never received any thanks note for my any gift

Answer 17

yes that has happened to me before

Answer 18

Yep. Newlyweds are usually very exhausted from the marriage process and some confusion is bound to occur as to the gifts and notes. Just be happy for the couple and don't worry, they do appreciate your gift.
