Haven't recieved thank you for wedding gift.

My niece was married Labor day weekend in a distant state. We couldn't attend but we sent a generous check with our daughter who flew out for the celebration. Last weekend I saw a thank you card from them on my brothers fridge (his wife attended). We have not received one. What should I do? It was a lot of money for us, and I am hurt our gift has not been acknowledged. Our bank statement showed the check had been cashed 6 weeks ago.

She could be doing a few at a time (she has a year I believe), or the mail is slow. My dad sent a check for my daughters graduation and of course my daughter sent a thank you note, but for some reason it took about 6 weeks to get to them.

that might very well be it

Yes, I'll just wait. Then if nothing happens, well - no more gifts.

I'd ask my daughter to somehow mention it to her. There might be a reasonable explanation.

Thats a good idea too!

I only have one niece who will send thank you notes for anything I've given her, seems like this younger generation doesn't do thank-yous, and I'm at the point if they don't then I don't give anything else.

I would say give it till 2 months post cash then maybe a phonecall is in order... Good luck!💖

Talk to them, tell them you're sorry for not being there, maybe it meant a lot to them and you weren't there.

I think its very rude, but not really sure anything can be done about it.

It's a high price to pay to know someone who won't appreciate. Sorry.

cammylou · 61-69, F

right. There are more appreciative people out there! Next time I'll hand out the money to people at the bus stop then send a note saying I donated to charity in their name.
