Not receiving a wedding card at work

I’m not talking about with any money in it (I absolutely would never expect that!) but I was taken a back that I didn’t get a signed work card from my closest colleagues. We’ve had two weddings in the last 3 years and we’ve always got one for other people (whether we’ve been invited or not).

for reference, the receptionist also usually passes around a generic card whenever someone has a wedding and people write personal messages , but I didn’t get this. And then I thought ‘ well ok you don’t need the whole office to sign because that’s less personal’ but I thought I got on well with my colleagues so I was a little surprised I didn’t even get a card from the closest ones.

I’m probably just being overly sensitive and should focus on my actual family and friends who are over the moon. I guess I just need to get over it, I’m not owed anything but it would be nice if they did the same for me as they have for others.

But who usually does this? About 80% of the time someone posts about this exact issue, and is hurt by not getting what everyone else gets, it’s because they’re the one who usually does it for others, so no one else thinks of it.

Yeah overly sensitive. I've never bought or signed a wedding card for a colleague.
