@catz I was in that same position last year, and I didn’t get her a physical gift. Her bachelorette weekend and shower (that I hosted, organized, and paid for) were her gifts from me, although I did...

I am just going to say, I traveled for a wedding, stayed three nights, bought a decent gift, and did not get a thank you from someone I thought was a good friend. I have worried that maybe my gift did...

She usually isn’t all about getting ‘stuff’, but I feel like the wedding has brought that out in her. She’s been very focused on gifts and what she’d be getting from people (when I suggested to her...

@catz As all of the etiquette fanatics here will tell you, a gift is never required. Although apparently some people still get mad about not getting them. How hung up on gifts and getting stuff is...

This might be a good place to ask… am I obliged to get my sister a wedding gift? I’m her maid of honour and honestly strapped for cash, and I contributed probably about $500 towards the shower...

I believe you have up to one month after the wedding (or one month after you return from the honeymoon if you’re taking it right away) to send out thank you notes, although two weeks is preferable if...

“Like, if you truly aren’t thankful for something, then maybe you shouldn’t send a thank you card.” If you aren’t thankful for it, you should give it back.

I guess the whole thing about gift giving and sending thank you cards is that it should be genuine. Like, if you truly aren’t thankful for something, then maybe you shouldn’t send a thank you card....

ta, the one I got the other day said “thank you for coming…thanks for the cash, we can always use it.” I found that weird. Didn’t bother me, but I had never seen a reference to cash. I’ve only said...

Omg Lindsay, that is so true. I hate poorly written thank you cards. Mine ALWAYS take up both the top and the bottom, and frequently the back of the cards too. You should thank them for coming and...

Not to mention that most thank-you cards I’ve received have been 5-7 sentences long, and while they were sweet, certainly did not take every long. I write thank-you cards after my birthday and...

If you have 150 guests at your wedding, and each guest was paired with a date, you theoretically have 75 gifts, and thus thank you cards to write. If each member of the couple only wrote one thank you...

That is very, very rude and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask/shame them if I wanted to.

Wow, a year and no thank you note? That’s really crappy. I agree, it really is about priorities. Even if you’re busy with work, or in your husband’s case, an injury, it shouldn’t take more than a few...

I have to say that the one time I didn’t get a thank-you card for many months after the wedding, I started worrying that the gift had gotten lost in the mail. Or that it hadn’t included my name...

@Tech, There’s a wide range of opinions on this one. Emily Post says three months. Some people believe it’s six months, but I think that’s horrifying. We both really value thank you cards, so we aimed...

I think they say you have a year, but we tried to do all of ours right away. I wrote 4 or 5 a day, and they were all done within 2-3 months.

tech, i went to a shower 2 weeks ago and just got the thank you. I have to say, I was surprised to receive it so quickly! gg, Befuddling is a great word. I can honestly say I wasn’t angry or hurt...

Speaking of gift etiquette — what is the appropriate time frame for sending thank you notes post wedding? I have given some wedding gifts and received thank you notes like 6 months after. I don’t care...

Yeah, I don’t blame her for noticing, like Lindsay said, but I do think she should just let it go. Especially that weird exchange with the person she watched give a gift to another couple when they...
