Baby Shower Gift Question

Bean32

The wife of one of our GMs is having a baby. When we found out she was having a girl (about 2 month ago), my FI and I sent her a really cute dress and matching hat from a pretty expensive baby clothing store. We never got a thank you card. We've seen them a couple times since and they've told us thanks, but still no card. She is way too etiquette-savvy to not know to send one. So, now her shower comes. I can't go (same day as my bridal shower), but I'm still annoyed enough about the no thank you for the last gift that I don't even want to send her another one.

I know I should be mature and send her a nice gift, but I really don't want to. My bratty side wants to "forget" like she forgot my thank you card or just send something small. What would you do?

I didn't know that etiquitte was still such a serious sticking point.  My advice is to try to get over the lack of TY and send a gift like you normally would.  Their rudeness shouldn't be matched.

I agree don't stoop to their level.  

Also I have not received things in the mail before.

I once sent a gift to someone, they called to thank me. After the baby was born, they sent a birth announcement and a nice thank you with it. Sometimes people are just late with these things.

Maybe she thought the thank you in person was enough? I'd send it regardless of the rudeness like PP said.

Sometimes people wait until after the baby is born to send a thank you. People like write things like, "Sara looks so cute in the pink tutu you gave her! Thanks!" Ditto PP, send a gift and wish them well.
