Obviously if they had not sent a gift, they would not be contacting us. We asked our guests to contact us so we could make sure their gift was properly acknowledged. I have always said that if you are taking a gift that has even the smallest of possibilities of landing on a “group gift table,” always, always include a card inside the gift.Īfter a wedding in our family, I cannot tell you how many gifts were found on the table after the event that had no cards as they had become unattached and were just set in a pile.įor those cards we couldn’t match to a gift, we sent a generic thank-you for attending our joyous event and explained that many cards had become detached. If you want more alone-time with them and their immediate families during your visits, you should absolutely let them know.ĭear Amy: Given that wedding season is coming up, I thought I would offer a tip that might help wedding guests, as well as the marrying couple. When it comes to your visits with your children, they might believe that you would welcome having mini-reunions with other family members or local friends when you’re visiting their homes. When you’ve budgeted the time and money for a specific vacation with a specific person, learning after the fact that you will be sharing your time with others is not at all fair to you. Going forward before booking, I am supposed to ask, “Who else is going to be there?”ĭear Crowded: You should definitely express your concern to the friend who invites others along on your shared vacations without running her plans past you first.
