NER: Bounced check wedding gift. WWYD?

A friend had a check someone gave her for a wedding gift bounce. And she was charged fees for it by her bank. She's wondering how to handle. I said, they know it bounced and are likely embarrassed and there's really nothing she can do but send the thank you note and let it go. But I thought I'd put it out to you ladies in case there were other ideas for how to handle.

Re: NER: Bounced check wedding gift. WWYD?

  • I wouldn't say a word about it. The person knows and is either embarrassed or had someone steal their check card number and empty out their bank account? I would trust that the person would contact me and try to make things right. JFlute!! I too want to know what type of foundation Obama was using, his skin looked great.

  • I don't know if this is correct, but I think this was just asked on P&E the other day, and someone pulled out an E.Post comment that said that (a) don't mention it, but (b) don't send a thank you note until they contact you.

    *shrug*

    I kinda get the logic there.  They obviously know the check bounced, so they're either just going to let it go, or will send you another check.  It doesn't make any sense for you to thank them for their kind gift of $XX if you didn't actually get $XX.  You could write a note thanking them for coming, but E.Post's response was to just wait until the replacement check arrives to send out one thank you note that basically thanks them for their gift and for coming.

  • Wow- her bank charged her fees because someone else's check bounced??  That is a tough situation, etiquette says to say thanks and let it go, but a gift should not cost you money. In any event, that is really interesting, I have to ask my mom about this one.
  • yeah i, too, would write a thank you and let it go. and i'm sure she'll be hearing from her friend soon with an apology and likely a new -- good -- check. 

  • I probably wouldn't do anything, as pp said. I *might* mention it to a family member if they were friends with them, NOT to out them, more just as a heads and maybe get some insight on what their situation is. They might be having other financial issues.

     

  • I wouldn't say anything to them, but I would NOT send them a thank-you note.
