It’s very rude of them not to send a thank you. Of course your budget plays a role in all these gifts too.

Your comment about my cousin made me lol because she hates the whole bridesmaid thing and the dresses would never be worn again— I’m talking ugly bridesmaid dresses! She had a wedding that had such an absence of pomp and circumstance it was funny.

Another funny thing— my sister was invited to a wedding and she gave them a card with a packet of seeds in it, and she was miffed they didn’t send her a thank you. I said to her, ‘You didn’t even give them a plant, just seeds?’ Lol
