Sending your parents a wedding anniversary card

For context - my husband sends his parents a wedding anniversary card every year. His parents married before he was born. I think it’s weird? He said he’s always done it and his mum would be upset if he didn’t. On big anniversaries he buys gifts, as again his mum would be upset if he didn’t.

YANBU - yes that’s weird
YABU - nothing wrong with that

I used to do this until we lost Dad. I see nothing wrong with his choice.

Some people are more ‘card people’ than others. My aunt for example has a huge stack in her house and loves any excuse to send a card. I have other friends and relatives who don’t even send them for birthdays. It’s neither weird nor not weird, depending on who it is.
