Did anyone have wedding guests that gave no gift?
I know I have seen this posted a few times a while back. But I'm just curious if any recent brides had guests not give anything.

I could NEVER go to a wedding without a gift. I don't even go to someone's house for dinner without a bottle of wine or dessert.

Re: Did anyone have wedding guests that gave no gift?
we had a few... 2 in the bridal party believe it or not and a couple of family members who traveled here for the wedding. I don't expect p[eople who traveled to give a gift. I am sure they spent hundreds to get here, their presence is enough, but they didn't even get a card. I would have liked a card.

Re: Did anyone have wedding guests that gave no gift?
Yup. One couple did not. I was really surprised, since I would never have guessed it of them--they are pretty generous usually.
When they got married, my personal life was an absolute mess, and I started to question whether I had somehow forgotten to give them a gift. It bothered me, so one night I pulled out my old financial statements, and yes, I did give them a gift. Quite generous too, esp. considering I had no money at the time!
It annoyed me, but what can you do? Maybe they are having financial problems, I really don't know, though they could at least have sent a card.

Re: Did anyone have wedding guests that gave no gift?
2 guests that attended the wedding did not give a gift. Oh, well. I know that they are going through some financial problems. But, I agree, a card would've been nice.

Re: Did anyone have wedding guests that gave no gift?
we received a gift from a couple that did not attend our wedding a little more than 2 months after our wedding.
We did not receive anything from the no show who also promised to send us her gift.

Re: Did anyone have wedding guests that gave no gift?
Yes, a whole bunch of them. I know a lot of our guests were not doing well financially, and I didn't expect gifts. But for cripes sake, get a crayon and consrtuction paper and make me a card that says congratulations. No card tells me that all you came for was the free food and drinks.

Re: Did anyone have wedding guests that gave no gift?
I agree, I expected just a card from a few, but I guess that was too much to ask.
I can count on 2 hands the people that came with NADA

Re: Did anyone have wedding guests that gave no gift?
One of my groomsmen didn't but he said he would buy us something for our house. 2 of our friends didnt.....one of which came with a date and was not invited with one. He just met this chick and brought her to the wedding, then she proceeded to get hammered and started a fight with a bunch of people and made a bunch of rude remarks as my relatives were leaving the wedding. She was so trashy ughhhhhhh and she is in a bunch of my wedding pictures
