    This was discussed many many months ago when if first came out. Those brides are bitches, and deserve nothing. I can't believe people are that entitled.

    Yeah, I just saw it. Can't people just be happy with the gifts they are given? Unless I give clothes as a gift, I never include a gift receipt.

    Ok, I hadn't seen this yet.  How ridiculous people are. 

    (Btw: my husband thinks that would've been an awesome gift.)

    It would have been! I love food gifts like that! Also, it seems like it was actually put together by thm and not like they just bought some random basket already filled with random stuff.

    We actually already got a gift kind of like that and we thought it was wonderful! A friend of ours made this wonderfully flavoured fried tofu (and usually I don't like the stuff, but seriously, this was awesome), and we praised it to high heaven. So for our wedding gift she gave us a basket with all the ingredients and the recipe for making it. My fiance and I both love food and love cooking so we were thrilled! You know I think getting presents for weddings is so much more fun and special when you have no expectations that anyone is required to get you anything.

    It's also very easy to understand why no one else got them a gift, if that is indeed true.

    I have actually seen this on the thread that was deleted (where ppl look up brides info and bombarded her website's guest book.) and I was stunned! How selfish and rude could you be? I LOVE gifts like that, and I am sure the couple put a lot of thought into it.

    People can just be so damn rude. I can't even....

    That gift basket sounds amazing. Even better, since FI is not a fan of marshmallow fluff or fruity candy, I'd get all the fluff and sour patch kids for myself :)

    While we've never had anyone be so in-your-face rude before, FI and I were just talking about a similar issue. Collectively (together and separate when one of us couldn't travel/get off work), we've been to 8 weddings total in the last three years and received all of...2 thank-you notes for gifts. 2. Is it petty that we even remember this? Absolutely. Does it make the B & G any less rude? Nope.

    FI thinks we didn't get thank-yous because we didn't give "a lot" of money (only $50 or so) and/or we gave gift cards to stores they didn't register at (most of these had either flat-out "give us money" notes on their websites or were out of registry items by the time we shopped). As I told him, that should NOT matter in any way.

    It doesn't matter if you give them 50 or 5000 dollars.  Every gift deserves a thank you note.  I remember every wedding or shower that I haven't received a TY note for, and I don't believe it's petty. 

    Over a year ago a bunch of us through a baby shower for a coworker.  It was at one of my other co workers homes and we all got them some pretty nice gifts off their registry.  Not one of us received a thank you note.  We still talk about it amongst ourselves.  

    Do any if you get nervous that your thank yous got lost in the mail?

    I did not receive a TY note for a good friend's wedding gift, and it made me nervous my gift was lost in the mail.  I ordered a gift card from their Amazon registry to be shipped directly to the couple's home.  Now I'm worried they didn't get the gift.  Or maybe this whole time, they did get the gift, and the TY card was lost in the mail!  But it's rude for either party to check whether the gift/card arrived.

    This is why I usually send a text or something when I receive a TY card.  "Got your sweet card!  Had an awesome time!" or something.

    Is it really rude to check whether a gift arrived?  Are you just going to to let it go and never know whether you spent the money on the gift card and it was never received?  I think that would bother me!

    I had a check to a vendor get lost in the mail, so I was afraid the thank you notes I put in that same mail box may have also gotten lost.  One of the TY notes were to my good friends, so I suppose I could just ask them.
