No Thank You

[TOWIE]

I have been brought up to send Thank You cards or messages when receiving a gift for birthdays etc etc. My OH Nephew was married back in March, we put £150 into his Honeymoon fund (they didn't want pressies). This is a new concept, I think nowdays. We have had no Thank You or any acknowledgement, not even at the wedding.

Bad Manners (:o((

[MarkRae]

Agreed.

[mccfluff]

that's really rude!

[cazzz1975]

I agree, I also gave a cash gift (for a honeymoon) last year and did not receive even an acknowledgement.

[EvianBaby]

I don't expect a card but even just a text to acknowledge a gift is appreciated. I know a few people who don't do that, just take the gift and ignore it. A one off forgetting is forgivable but repeat offenders get all the crap stuff I don't want to give anyone else now.

Exceedingly bad manners......but there again we are in the 21st century and "manners" seems to be a forgotten word.

[tinkerbell23]

Seriously agreed!!

I thank for birthdays etc...the odd card to people like my grans neighbour etc...

But a wedding im pretty sure you order thankyous to match your invites...well i would. Not good. Xxxx

[andy-hughes]

In view of your generosity, I think you are entitled to be peeved!

It may be that the thank-you notes are late in being mailed, but that again is a discourtesy to guests who have been kind enough to offer a gift.

Dependng how much you want to pursue this you / OH couild ask if they got your gift - which should produce the courtesy of a deep blush and a thank you - otherwise you will need to write it off to simple ignorance and bad manners.

[TOWIE]

Am glad I am not the only one who feels this way. Thank you costs nothing.

[tonyav]

Very bad manners.

It was the same for me ,yet to get my son,who's polite in other ways,to write a 'thank you' is/was near of imposible

[TOWIE]

The wedding cost a ridiculous amount of money, but it seems the Thank You cards have been forgotton.

[Sqad]

P.S I think that £150 is an extravagant contribution.

[TOWIE]

I have always made my Son from a young age write a Thank You Card or send a drawing (when he was very small) as a thank you for birthday/christmas money or present.

I think Sqad is right, manners seem to be a thing of the past.

[chaptazbru]

I can't understand this, it's rude and bad mannered imo. I would tend not to bother giving the 'offenders' anything again !

[EcclesCake]

When I don't receive a thank you I'm left wondering if my gift has been received.

[Mick-Talbot]

Nonsense.

[emmie]

yes, wouldn't do it again i suspect.

We gave money for the honeymoon at a wedding we went to last year, not only did we get a thank you card but also a few photos taken on the honeymoon.
