No gift from bridesmaid. Thank you card question updated

My bridesmaid, who is also my cousin, didn't give us a wedding card or gift. She also didn't participate in the shower siting she lives out of town and doesn't believe in showers for second weddings.

My bridesmaid, who is also my cousin, didn't give us a wedding card or gift. She also didn't participate in the shower siting she lives out of town and doesn't believe in showers for second weddings. I got a text from her the day after that her mom forgot to put "the" card in the box and she was mailing it when she got home and it would be here when we got back. No my Aunt also didn't get us a card. When we returned there was a card from my Aunt but not my cousin. How do I word the thank you card? Do I wait a few more days to see if one arrives from her?

ETA - finally opening all the boxes from the wedding, stuff from the bridal suite and there’s a card from my cousin. She put it in the emergency bag I packed so she would t forget to bring it into the reception. I just opened that bag since I didn’t need anything in there.

    Personally I wouldn't care about not receiving a gift from wedding party .. but my fiance gave his friend 300 and was in his wedding with a 200 tux .. so it's all how much they can afford ... some people can afford 100 some can afford more ... don't be upset a out it . . Also maybe she assumed the card from your aunt covered them both

    Drop it, she spent hundreds on a flight for your wedding, she bought the attire, she showed up, she possibly took time off work.

    Don't think too into it, just let it go. I bought a plane ticket, rented a car, bought a dress and had to buy new makeup for a wedding I was in. I was tight on money and managed to pull it off but I could not afford a gift. I could barely afford to pay my own rent with the cost of the plane ticket and rental car. I still received a thank you from the bride. Do I feel bad about not giving a gift? Yes. But I could not afford it, I missed out on the bachelorette party because I literally could not afford to go. Give her some slack.
