to think it is rude not to send a thank you card for a wedding gift?

[SqueezyIsBackToBlack]

Gave quite a big wedding gift about 2 months ago to a couple we are friends with. The wedding was about 6 weeks ago. Have seen them since and no thank you card?

AIBU to think this is very rude?

Yes it's very rude, the least they can do is to thank you for the effort you went to!

No it's not rude, they probably have loads of post wedding things to do, sex to have, thank you cards would be way down on their priority list.

Loving your approach rhubarb

It's rude not to send one at all, but 6 weeks post wedding is actually not that long.

It took us aaages to send ours, we were on honeymoon for three weeks and then morning sickness set in about 3 days later and I was signed off work doing nothing but vomit for a month. We got married at the end of October and just about got them sent before Christmas.

If you have seen them then slightly different, but they may be waiting for cards to be printed etc.

I write letters to every one who sends me birthday or Christmas presents and make the kids do so as well. It is just good manners.

Proper etiquette is thank yous should be sent within 2 weeks of the gift being given iirc.

YANBU.

I think 6 weeks is not enough time elapsed to get het up about.

Honeymoon would've most likely been for a couple of weeks. And maybe they were waiting for the post strike to be over?

MN is the only place i have seen thank-you cards being sent all the time.

I have never experienced it in real life. Sent them for my wedding cos that's the "rules" but no-one in our family or DH family or any of our friends do it.

Strange as is obviously very common.

It is rude, very rude.

BUT you have 3 months from the end of your honeymoon to write them apparently.

Also with the postal strike you should cut them some slack!
