If I don't get a thank you card, you will never again get another gift from me.  Went to a wedding on December 27th, 2014.  Wrote a check for $200 to put in the card.  Check was cashed right after the new year.  I haven't gotten a thank you note.  I remember.  This couple will never again get a gift from me, not for birthdays, not for housewarming, not for a baby shower.  Never again.  Went to my cousin's wedding on May 16th this year.  Same thing, wrote a check for $200, check was cashed a little under a month later, still no Thank you card.  I know the bride is pregnant.  They won't be getting a baby gift from me, I don't care if they are family.  It's just rude not to thank me.

This. I gave a baby shower gift, then months later a baptism gift, for the new baby to close family members.

The shower gift went unacknowledged with no thank you note. The baptism gift got a quick text from the adult daughter of the family who I'm closest to- "so-and-so got the gift, they say thanks!" Yeah, no. Take the time to write me a freaking note, don't get your daughter to text me.

Needless to say, the baby's first birthday was last week and I didn't send them anything but a "happy birthday!" text to the daughter. I'm petty, but whatever- rude behavior has consequences. If you don't take the time to show appreciation for your loved one's generosity, then don't be surprised when the generosity dries up.

Hey!  An update!!!  I got a Thank You note yesterday for the wedding we attended in December.  Yes, a July TY note for a December wedding.  I totally totally judge, but I guess they're off the No-Gift list.
