[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-  just to clarify- it wasn't "mass mailing" or 100 cards. It was like 40 and I said it was basically just closest circle of family and friends from xmas list. Clearly no one sends gifts from xmas card, so I don't think sending mail suggests a gift.
   As stated, I don't Facebook, Twitter or Instagram-- so no one sent me notes that way. 
   I absolutely expected acknowledgement from a handful of those folks- like three of my bridesmaids and close friends, my husbands best friend and his brother and sister. I think that would have been thoughtful and appropriate. A text or call or nothing from more distant friends was fine. Although I send a gift for any announcement... Baby, high school graduation.. Even take housewarming gifts when friends invite us to their new home. Guess I think it's polite and I like doing it.
   And it's not about getting attention- or needing something. It's just what I think would have been the right gesture I guess. I'm not losing sleep, but making observation.[/quote]

Don't you see and talk with these people (like your husband's best friend, your bridesmaids, your sil) often enough that sending an announcement is over kill? You named these people as "close".
