Not sure if they received our...

We sent a regrets RSVP to his cousin's wedding along with a $100 giftcard to the Keg.  However we did not receive any thank-you note or acknowledgement that they got it.  I'm wondering if it might've gotten lost in the mail.  I have never met them and DH is not close to them (haven't spoke in years and do not have their contact).

Should we find a way to ask if they got it?

Has the wedding passed yet? Some people don't write their thank-you cards until after the wedding, even though gifts arrive earlier.

Yes, the wedding was in July.

I actually probably would call.  Regardless of the thank you (some people are just rude and don't write them!) I would call to make sure they got it.  I'd hate to think it was lost in the mail or something.

I would most certainly call.

Wait a sec. If don't have their coyou rDH and his cousin aren't even close, seen each other in years, and your DH doesn't have their contact info, they invited you anyway?  Sounds a bit gift grabby.  Anyway, get the info from DH's aunt and make the call.

I would call them, and just say that you wanted to look into getting the gift card replaced if it was lost in the mail.

Definitely call them.

If they are rude enough to not bother to write a thank you note after such a generous gift, they deserve to be put in an uncomfortable position!

Sorry, I'm not sure what the first sentence is supposed to say.  I think they were trying to be inclusive of the family, so I didn't mind getting invited.  I would've gone but someone we knew closer was getting married the same day.

@ tpender13: I don't think I can afford to replace the card right now lol

We don't have their contacts at all, should I encourage DH to ask MIL to inquire about it?  After we sent back the RSVP nothing on the invite has their address or number.

UPDATE

I just checked the balance on the card and it is still unused. O_O

We sent a cash gift to a cousin of mine who was married back in June.  Still no thank you note or any acknowledgement.  When I saw them at my grandma's funeral last month, I *almost* said something just to make them feel awkward about it.  But then I remembered that doing so would probably make me even more rude than them.

Just because the GC has not yet been used, does not mean that did not receive it. I can go several months without using a gift card. My friend got married in June and I still have not received a thank you, but I'm not too concerned. I know it takes people time to write out a thank you note to everyone who gave a gift, especially if it was a large wedding. People also usually wait until they have their pictures, so they can include one in the thank you. Depending on their photographer, that can take a while.
