To be so annoyed not to get a thank you card?

[GinPink]

Friend got married. We gave a card and present (a gift voucher worth more than we could really afford - she had requested money instead of presents). My Mum also have her money as a gift.

I know people are busy but there was no thank you card, text, nada. It's been 6 months. I find it rude but also it's so annoying to constantly hear my mum ask if my friend definitely received her gift, as naturally she's expecting some kind of thanks?

I'm not fussed at all about receiving a thank you card, especially if it's from someone who I would expect to see often when I would then probably expect a thank you in person.

I was at a wedding last year, seen the bride and groom loads and have never heard a thank you from them. That's rude!

Thanking people in the speeches is not very sincere really, is it?
It’s about acknowledging the thought and effort that went into the gift, you know, reciprocating the kindness. And no, getting a ‘free meal’at the wedding doesn’t do this.
