Guests not bringing cards...and slight vent?

For those of us who are BAM now, did anyone have a lack of cards/gifts?

For those of us who are BAM now, did anyone have a lack of cards/gifts? I don't mean to be a snobby bride AT ALL, but I was just surprised that many of our closest friends even didn't leave us a card. I still plan on sending thank you cards to everyone who attended because H & I had the time of our lives and it was all thanks to our guests for celebrating with us. We served food as well as alcohol and rented a shuttle service for guests. I know it's wedding season, so maybe it just gets overwhelming for people? I have been invited to huge weddings where I didn't even know the couple all that well and always make sure to bring a card with at least enough gift to cover my meal.

Vent: Plus, one of my bridesmaids and some friends left the wedding with as much of our wine as they could carry! I was SHOCKED! Earlier this week they posted pictures on fb of them drinking the wine, at least 5 bottles in the pictures. It wasn't cheap wine either, as we went with a local winery Smiley sad

    When FH'S sister was getting married we traveled from Massachusetts to Wisconsin and we had very little money. Traveling out there, paying for a hotel room, meals, tolls, and gas, we did not have the ability to give them a gift. We did however bring a card. I felt embarrassed we were only able to do that. But we spent a lot of money we did not have, I considered that our gift. Fast forward to two years later, they are making the same trip- in reverse, and I do not expect a gift from them. I'm just happy they will be here. Well, except for FSIL's husband. He is a jackwagon, and I would consider it our gift if he didn't come. Smiley smile
