f/u crazy registry friend.

I was just thinking about her randomly and realized that I never got a real thank you for her shower gift. And NOTHING at all in the way of a thank you for her wedding gift. Not even glittery my space picture thank yous.

*It's been 1.5 months since her wedding.*Almost 2.5 since her shower. And has gone on and returned from her HM quite a while ago.

We haven't done thank you cards yet and it's been two months. We are working on it!

omg, well apparently the first glittery thank you was for all future gifts/appearances.I was just talking to my friend the other day about this. It makes me mad when people write down all the gifts people give them like at a shower or something but they never send thank yous. I just don't get the point.

Give her until the holidays.  Maybe she's trying to save on postage and will combine her thank you in her holiday card for you?

Tygirljojo

Oh yeah, and Koosh, you at least have a valid excuse for taking a while with the home purchase and move.

Would you ever confront a friend about thank yous? I couldn't ever do that. I would just never know if a thank you was coming or if i missed it somehow. I'd never inquire about it.

I would never want to confront someone about a thank you card but I have recently found out nobody got ANY of my thank you notes from christmas because I mailed them from work and forgot a return address so I never knew what happened... And still do not!

Home buying = ok. Just not doing them/myspace glitter thank yous = Not ok. I'd never confront her about it, but maybe post a rant or something in a blog  or bulletin on myspace, since I know she's subscribed to my blogs. Just vaguely mentioning that it's rude to do such things. Or I could turn her email over to p&e harpies? Haha. I bet she would do that to save on postage. Her family is real weird, so maybe she didn't have good examples of things in the past... She's been in lots of friends weddings over the past 2 years, so I'm certain she DOES know the etiquette of it all. I had my thank you cards out like the next week, and that was after waiting for pictures to send with them. M<aybe I'm just an eager beaver...

I went to a friend's wedding last August and NEVER got a thank you.  Mind you, this was a friend who had in her invite the time and location of the ceremony listed and when I asked about where to park for that (it was at her parents house), she said "Oh...um....well, it's actually pretty small, and I don't know if many people can fit in my parents house, but you're welcome to come if you really want to..."  Yeah, okay.  Guess we aren't really as good of friends as I thought then.  Several months after her wedding I asked if she ever got a chance to use the gift I got her and she confirmed then that she got it.  Still no thank you.  Not even on the phone when she confirmed she got it.  To me, it was just the cherry on top.  Their reception started nearly 2 hours late.  Awesomeness.

Michelle - I was TOTALLY surprised how fast we got ours!  Now I'm feeling the pressure to get ours done fast afterwards.

I don't think I could ever just be like "Hey, where is my thank you!"But what further baffles me, is that that she was one of the only people that bought stuff from the registry AND included gift receipts. I'm stumped on this one. I was discussing the matter with my MIL, and she's still waiting on a thank you from a wedding her and I went to almost a year ago. Yikes.

cupcakepirate

Jolene = genius! I should ask her if she's had a chance to use the zester and loaf pan (and recipe) I gave her.

Tygirljojo

Yup, we got the card.  I probably should've messaged you saying I got it, but wasn't sure if I should say "Thank you for the thank you?"  That just seems a bit wierd to me. :P   Sarah - I wish I could take credit for that, but I actually posted the issue I had with her last winter about not getting a TY and someone suggested I ask her if she ever got a chance to use the gift.  I still say give the girl another couple months, then ask.

cupcakepirate

I don't think I'll ever do it. I'd feel like a total biznatch, I think.But if I did, that's what I would do.

jennlin

i think for now....it's still okay, but knowing her history, i don't think you'll get one. i'm still waiting on one from a friend from may 2008.......do you think i'll get it? =P

KST_

Haha, my mom is still waiting on one from my high school best friend from her wedding about 5 years ago. :P Since we delivered the gift to the reception, I know she got it, so I'm not concerned. She and I both kind of suck at correspondence stuff. My mom was upset because we purchased cookie sheets and stuff like they had registered for, but not the ones on their actual registry because my mom said these were better quality. W/E as I had never heard of the brand before, and I think it's the fact that it was better quality is why she's upset about the no thank-you. Of course, she's also the woman gives you something and then snottily says "you're welcome!" before you can take a breath to say thank you!I can't believe you didn't even get a glittery picture though!
