South Florida Nesties

I know there is no way any were stolen because the venue provided a locked box that only the MOH and event coordinator opened at the end of the night together. It just seems odd that there are so many.
I know to send the typical thank you for being a part of our day - blah blah blah. Im concerned that if they did give cash or a check in a card and we didnt get it and I write the typical thank you they will be offended.
Has anyone else been through this and how did you handle it?

New nestie with a question
Hi all - just got married 9/6/09 and guess Im a nestie now.
I posted this on SFL knot page but thought it wouldnt hurt to try here as well.

Re: New nestie with a question
we had several people not give us anything... didn't bother me, it was more important that they came, anyway. a few people that didn't give us anything did surprise me, though.
wait a little bit to send TY cards to those people, bc we also got a handful of post-wedding gifts. in fact, we've gotten two in the past month and we got married in february. ?
send out a "thanks for coming, it was great to see you" card. if they sent you something, I'm sure they'll contact you to make sure you got it.?
I agree with PP where it didn't bother me those that did not give anything. The way things are now, alot of people are struggling to make ends meet and I was not and would not be upset if no gift was given. At the end of the day, it is about inviting the people you care about to share your wedding day not about what they give you.

What Yocy said
Also, did they give you a bigger gift at your shower? That could be a reason.
Thanks ladies.
Im not upset at all about not receiving anything - it just seems very odd from a few of the guests. Im very happy that everyone that RSVP'd showed up and we had an amazing time with them.
I really dont want to offend anyone by sending a generic TY card - that was my main concern. I know for a fact that nothing could have been taken from the card box because it is bolted to the table in the reception and only can be opened by MOH & DOC together and there is no trust issue there.
I have to wait until my photos come in before I can send them out any way. So I appreciate the advice.
Wow - gifts now from February - how exciting. Its like xmas all year! lol....
Hi Jess!
I have had the same concern! I have a list of people who I didn't receive gifts from that I KNOW normally would have given a gift. I called my parents and actually most of the people do have the gifts, they just keep forgetting to mail it or drop it off. I am sending out my thank you cards really soon (also waiting on photos so it has taken a while) and I plan on just thanking them for their attendance because I still don't have the gift. Honestly, if they don't give it to me, I can't thank them for it so there is really no other option. If anything, I plan on thanking them again with a regular thank you card later on when I actually receive the gift.
