Wedding Gift

DH just texted me to say we just received a card (with a check) in the mail from my cousin & his wife for our wedding.

Ummm... our 1 year anniversary is in February (I know they have a year to send it) & they went to the wedding.

No, we didn't get a gift from them at the time, but we did get a shower gift.  We've seen them quite a few times this year, as they don't live that far away.

This is kind of strange.  Don't you think?

Re: Wedding Gift

  • Maybe they are just now able to afford it.  ::shrug::  Don't worry, be happy now!

     

    ETA:  Or maybe it's like a marriage bonus.  You're doing it right, so they think you deserve an extra treat!

  • Meh, MIL didn't get us a gift until 6 months later...

    It's all good! A gift is still a gift late or not! 

  • Oh no, I'm not complaining.  I just thought it was strange.  I also found it strange at the time of the wedding that they didn't get us a gift.  It didn't bother me too much because they flew down to FL for the weddding and ticket prices were high at the time.

  • Better late than never I guess!

    It is a little weird but whatever, it's MONEY!  Go get yourself something nice :)

  • My BFF who was also my BM never got us a gift either.  But that was a money issue I think.

  • We got a surprise check in the mail about 6 months after our wedding from a family friend, it was nice although I prob. wouldn't wait that long to send a wedding gift but we went out to dinner or did something nice with it :-)

  • We are planning to do a long weekend getaway for our anniversary.  Maybe we'll put it towards that.

    Yes 

  • I just read the card. It said ' we got a check from a friend right before our anniversary & used it for a nice dinner. We hope you can find something fun to do with it too.' Still a little strange but understandable I guess.

    That's sweet!  How thoughtful of them to think of you and remember your anniversary in such a generous way!

  • I hope someone sends us a check when we approach our anniversary!  I do admit, that seems a little strange, but I'd take it!

    H and I have been married almost 8 months and we still haven't gotten a gift from MIL!
