We had a small destination wedding in California and invited 60 people. About half of those attended. I didn't send out invitations with the intention of getting a gift from everyone, but was surprised as to who sent one and who didn't. My husband and I specifically didn't invite people so they wouldn't feel obligated for a gift.
For all those who have had their wedding, who did you receive a gift from? Just people in attendance? Did the majority of those who declined still acknowledge the wedding in some way? Did you have expectations as to who would acknowledge the wedding?
I am asking because I always thought an invitation required some sort of acknowledgement; ie card, call, text, gift. My husband is more offended that certain people didn't respond to the RSVP or acknowledge the wedding. Thoughts?
