did you get wedding gifts from folks who RSVP'd "no"?
whenever we're invited to a wedding, we send a gift whether we're attending or not. and then i was thinking about our wedding (this is spurred by a post on MM), and i don't recall receiving anything from anyone that RSVP'd "no." not that i care, but it's just interesting to see what other people do.
did you get any at your own wedding, and do you send a gift if you don't go?

Re: did you get wedding gifts from folks who RSVP'd "no"?
We always send a gift, even if we aren't going.
I'd say we got gifts from about half of our "no" people.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
You know what, I don't remember anymore. The people that I cared about showed up at the wedding, and the ones that couldn't, I believe did not give a gift which was ok with us actually.
Unfortunately, no, I did not send a gift to the weddings that DH and I could not attend. To be fair, they were in another state and are my husband's friends anyway, so I was not close to them and I would make it my DH responsiblity to send them something for not showing. Otherwise, I usually attend all weddings that I am invitied to.
Nope, none of the people who responded "no" sent us gifts. However, we received gifts from people (co-workers, clients, overseas relatives) who weren't invited to the wedding so it all evened out :-D
We've so far attended every wedding we've been invited to (granted, there hasn't been that many). However, I imagine if we cannot attend a wedding we'll likely send a (smaller) gift anyway. It's the thought that counts.
Same here
A few of our "no" responses sent a gift.
We always send a gift whether or not we are attending.
We got gifts from probably half of the "no" folks...but we also didnt receive gifts from some of the people who did attend so that evened itself out.
If we cant attend a wedding, we'll send a gift as long as its a close family/friend and depending on if they sent us a gift or came to our wedding. We've been invited to some random weddings of people we hardly know or havent seen in years and with some of them, it was obvious we were B listers so I dont feel bad not sending a gift.
The only no who sent a gift was my grandparents (grandma has a severe airplane anxiety and doesn't fly), but we had a small guest list anyways.
I don't send gifts for no's unless we're close friends/family (ie. actually talk to more than once every few years). I figure if you can't spell my first name right on the invitation, then you probably aren't close enough for me to bother.

yes, we did receive gifts from some of the people who RSVP'd no. But they were mostly co-workers of DH that were unable to attend. No one in our family that rsvp'd no sent us a gift.
I don't usually send a gift if we don't attend a wedding. Actually, I think we've attended every wedding we've been invited to.
We usually send a gift even if we can't go. Most of our "no's" sent us gifts, with the exception of just a few couples.
this. there was one wedding in particular (years ago) where they invited everyone and their dog - I didn't attend and didn't send a gift. and I don't feel bad about it.
most of those that didn't attend our wedding sent gifts, but there were a good handful or two that didn't.
we always send a gift, even if we can't attend.
