I know you have one year to get out thank you cards for gifts, but if you recieve gifts and get a divorce before 1 year is up, do the gifts have to be return to the giver?

In most instances, I would say the wedding gifts are the couple's to keep and divide as they will. However, if you received something expensive such as a trip to take together, and you obviously will not be making use of it, it might be nice to return this to the gift-giver rather than just sitting around and letting it go to waste. Maybe they could use a nice vacation with someone. I'd say it would be a matter of judgement on whether the gift will be entirely wasted by going to one or the other.

Why should they be made to feel guilty when the divorce is not their fault. so the divorced parties can keep the gifts , by either spouse, according to some agreement or court order.According to laws the receiver of the gift (donee or can we call him or her the gifted) has to always accept the gift to confirm the gift transaction valid. Maybe we don't find in the laws about the return of gift. But there always can be return gifts (but not on similar occasions)

I don't see any reason to return wedding gifts after that much time. And even though some people say it's fine to take a year to send out "thank you" cards, I think it's just common courtesy to send them as soon as you can get to it. It's just my opinion, of course, but I think anything more than a couple of months is just downright disrespectful -- unless there's a really good reason for a longer delay.

No, you don't have to return the gifts.
As far as thank you notes go, there is no expiration. It is always polite to send a thank you note no matter how much time has passed. However, if you are getting a divorce it may be awkward to send a thank you note at this point

Now if it grew to become right into a present on the bathe and the two in no way have been given married... nicely this is a distinctive tale!
