Etiquette help

Anon, on September 22, 2022 at 3:05 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 17
Received wedding thank you card to wedding I was not invited to or didn’t send gift to. What is the proper response? (Bride made it clear I wasn’t invited & no longer speaks to me) super confused as to what I’m supposed to do.

    I would probably just ignore it. Was it addressed to you? Did it thank you by name for a specific gift? If it had someone else's name on it and you know that person, you could forward it on to them. Otherwise, I'd probably just not respond.

    It was addressed to me, mailed to my home. It was a printed card (no personal written message) thanking for attendance and gift. Lol

    It sounds like they had somebody do their thank you cards for them. Most likely a friend or relative was given the list they used when they mailed invitations, and your name was never taken off of it. I would just ignore it

    Sure. they probably had a few Anons in their original guest list and yours got mixed up with one of those. Maybe it means the bride had considered inviting you. Nothing to do there if you really don't have a continuing relationship unless you think there is a way to be friendly again.

    Maybe she had given her guest list/addresses to a company, who sent out a generic thank you note to each person, and she still had you on the list? In any case, I would just ignore it, there's not really much to say to her about it, especially if she no longer speaks to you.

    Nope, envelope is written in the brides handwriting and postmarked from her city. It’s addressed to me and husband by name.

    Hmm, interesting! Seems odd. I would still ignore it. People don't usually reply to a thank you note anyway, so even if she sent it intentionally, she shouldn't expect a response.

    You could send it back and say "you're welcome" we had a great time there. Nah. Just don't do anything.

    Thank you all!. I think the general consensus is No Response required.

    Agreed. No matter the intention, no response will keep the drama to a minimum.

    Whoa. That is very odd. It’s like they are trying to rub it in that you weren’t invited. 🤔

    Usually it is a friend or family member who goes weird about the marriage. I've not seen the bride get weird like this in the posts at WW.

    I'm embarrassed for the couple for sending a generic thank you card as if their guests don't matter. Bad etiquette all around. Throw it away and continue to live your life.

    This is proof that you didn’t miss anything by not being invited to their wedding! Consider it a blesssing
