Another wedding gift question. I am appalled at how many happy couples do not send thank you notes for wedding gifts.
One bride in my husband's family told another relative that she was "too busy". Apparently her time is far more important than the time, money, and energy I expended to send her eight dinner plates of her everyday china.
I don't want to do anything to encourage this trend, which I think is selfish, greedy, slovenly, and inexcusable. But on the other hand, I would like to know if these people got their gifts. This is my idea. Some store which offers a gift registry should have the bride and groom fill in a short reason that they are choosing each gift, e.g., we love this contemporary silverware pattern. Then, when a gift-giver has had a gravy ladle from the registry sent to the couple, the store registry can send the gift-giver a note saying "the gravy ladle you chose from the registry was sent today. The couple told us that they love this contemporary pattern."
