Do a send a thank you card to my ex-matron of honor for a bridal shower gift? We had a major falling out which lead to her last-minute backing out of standing up on our wedding day. As a write others thank you cards, I have mixed feelings about doing so but looking for some advice on this tough matter.

Yes, always send a thank you. If you want to repair the friendship, mention that if you don't, send the card and be done with it.

Send her the card. Even if the friendship is over, it’s the appropriate thing to do.

I think is polite to still send a thank you card.

I would also say send the card. Friendship or not, common courtesy goes a long way.

Still thank her for the gift. It's the polite thing to do.
While she isn't standing up, is she still coming as a guest?

Yes, send the card, it’s definitely the right thing to do. Sending a “thank you” won’t make the situation worse, but not sending one could.

Yes, you should still send her a thank you card for the present she sent, or return the present itself (but I recommend the thank you card).

Following. I have a similar situation, although it was for a bridesmaid who didn't do anything at all. I still have her gift, which I don't even know if I should give to her. She's not even going to attend the wedding--she's going to her boyfriend's tradeshow instead.

I can’t think of any situation where it’s acceptable not to thank someone for a gift.

If she got you a gift, you send a thank you card. Simple as that.
