[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sent a wedding gift off the registry a month or two before the wedding (about $250). Got a thank you card saying "Thank you for the shower gift. Look forward to seeing you at the wedding."

Didn't think much of it, wedding came and went, now a month later we got a text from mother of the bride saying "Bride and groom got back from Aruba. They were doing their thank you notes but didn't see a card from you in the card box. There may have been a mistake so we wanted to check with you."

Did we make a mistake sending the wedding gift too early? Was it a faux pas not to bring a card for the card box? Is that a regional/cultural thing we might have missed, southerner marrying into big NY Italian family? They did have a big card box at the reception, no gift table that I saw. We just did the registry after getting the invitation since traveling with a baby we didn't want to transport a gift.[/quote]

MOB was very rude to contact you and ask about where your card was. Even if they were wondering if “there was a mistake” (does she mean mistake=your card w $$ was lost or stolen? Or does she mean [i]you[/i] made a mistake by not leaving a card w $$? I think probably she means the latter which really sounds like you’re getting a bill for attending their wedding or summons to send them $$ in addition to the generous gift you already gave!) they should never ask guests about gifts!

I’d reply “we actually already received a thank you note for the gift we sent! It was a lovely wedding! Congratulations again to x and x![/quote]
