Poor etiquette

I have a coworker who got married 3 weeks after DH and I. We both had long engagements so we would talk every day about what we were doing/planning for the wedding. It was fun though because he would complain about his FI being crazy and I would complain about DH not being supportive, etc.

So DH and I went to their wedding, got them a set of drinking glasses off their registry.

They still haven't sent out Thank You cards. I don't know if they're even going to. My coworker thanked me in person, and told me how those glasses were a lifesaver while they were moving, so I don't mind so much, but I'm sure there's going to be some cranky old relative who's not going to be sending them Christmas cookies this year.

Re: Poor etiquette

  • Ha, last year, I ordered our thank you cards on vistaprint. I got a little over what I thought I would need, but I miscalculated - I failed to count in three vendors and all the guests that did not come in, but sent us a gift (about 5). So, instead of ordering 10 more cards on vistaprint, i just decided not to sent TYs to a few of our friends that I knew would not care about a card (one of them gave us a wrong address and his invite returned, when I asked him for the correct address he said: we talk like every day, why do you need to waste paper to tell me I am invited?). 

    Maybe the same happened with you?

     

  • I hate sending Thank Yous.  I mean, I really hate it.  I would so much rather give somebody a phone call and chat a bit while saying thanks.  But I still send them because I know that if I don't, I'm going to hear about it from somebody somehow.  Maybe this couple assumes that because they said thanks in person, that's good enough.  I wouldn't get too offended about it, but it is poor etiquette, especially since it's a wedding thank you (which is a bit different than a birthday thank you, IMO).
  • I see him all the time, it wasn't just us, they didn't send them *at all*. He kept saying how they were too busy (she's going for a PHD in psych, so I guess it's understandable, but you kinda gotta make time) and they just had a baby three weeks ago.

  • Well that's a different story then.  I think once it's been a year, you should not be sending them. 

    My Bff's for friend had a Christmas wedding and they had this one picture in front of a Christams tree. They sent their cards for Christmas next year and wrote TYs in them... I thought that was a little weird.
