    Hey bees,

    I wanna get your opinions on what to do at this point, though this isn't exactly wedding related, I'm curious on the etiquette part.. Do we just ignore the lack of manners??
    FI's cousin got married last year, and we gave her and her new hubby a generous amount of money in a card at the wedding. We never received a thank you in person or a thank you card. I didn't think much of it until I went to her baby shower a little while ago, for which FI and I spent a decent amount of money on for these gifts as well. Again, no thank you!!
    So.. with her baby now about to be baptized, I'm thinking we shouldn't even bother getting them anything. This isn't like us, but we both feel like the gifts they already received for both the wedding and shower were not even appreciated. I feel like if she doesn't have the manners to say thank you, what is the point in taking the time to buy gifts, give money, etc.

    Any suggestions?

    Oh nothing peeves me more than no thank-you's after a wedding! I don't think you are under any obligation to give a gift (really you never are I suppose). I would bring a card, and leave it at that. Hopefully she will take the hint.

    Culturaly I'm not familiar with thank you notes, sure it sounds like something nice to do but no one does it where I live.

    If you don't feel like giving a gift it's ok, it should not be a must but don't give a gift just because you're expecting a thank you card, they might be thankfull and appreciate your gift but are just not the kind of people who send cards.
