So etiquette doesn't matter anywhere but on the etiquette board? Now that's ridiculous.
I'm not demanding a "pat on the back" for giving a gift. I'm hoping for, and yes expecting, acknowledgement from the recipient that they #1: received the gift, and #2: acknowledge that their guests took the time and effort to do something special for them.
But belle, by all means, skip the TY's to your guests. Just don't be surprised when you find out that there are consequences from rude behavior.
"Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146
