Should i ask my friend if she received my wedding gift?

I would give them another couple of weeks before asking. Typically they should be sent within a month, but not everyone follows etiquette.

For gifts received in the week before the wedding, it is not expected that thank you notes will be sent till after an immediate honeymoon,and because it may be only 20 things, but may be over 200, it can take up to 6 weeks of diligently doing the notes to finish all of them for those who received a lot. Maybe by the time they had wedding clothes and stuff put away, other post wedding stuff, they worked on them for a week before packing for the honeymoon took over their time. So expect they will work on them for up to a month after returning from their honeymoon before you inquire about your gift. With shower gifts 2 weeks is usual, a smaller group. And very early wedding gifts. But that crush when they keep on being delivered, while you are doing wedding prep and then cleanup, can be overwhelming for people with lots of physical gifts.

I would give them some time, they also could have been trying to order thank you cards with a photo from the wedding...

I once used Bed Bath and Beyonds registry to send items directly to 2 couples.

One couple took 3 months to get out thank yous.

The second couple took A FULL YEAR. They got pregnant and she used her maternity leave to send out thank yous.

I always ask if they get my gifts only because I do it from their registry to get sent to the "registry address." I just wanted to make sure that it got there and that it didn't get lost.

I never received a thank you card for one (not that I really care though, haha). I asked her if they received it and apparently my name was never on it anywhere, so they didn't know who to thank! It hasn't been enough time yet, to see if I will get one from the other couple, but I did ask them the night after their wedding if they got it just because I wanted to know it arrived safely.

I would give it another few weeks. If she just got married , was still working , had other thank you cards to write packing getting ready for a honeymoon that is a lot.

That is waaay too soon to receive a thank you. It took me a month to only send my bridal shower thank you’s and I only sent out around 40 of those.

They take time to write out, and you have to figure that it takes a while to get the wedding photos back and then the thank you’s printed.

Standard is is within a year tbh. We received several gifts prior to the wedding and they’re going to have to wait for thank you’s after we get cards with our pro photos printed on them.

No. Don’t ask and definitely not via text. Give them some time.

I agree, give them some time before inquiring. Also, it could just be taking a while in the mail... I dropped my mom's STD off at the post office a mile from her house and it took A MONTH AND A HALF before she got it! We figured it got lost somewhere en route and I ended up giving her an extra that I had, only for the original one to show up 3 weeks later.

The standard etiquette is 3 MONTHS for a thank you card after a wedding, NOT 3 weeks! Give it more time.

Don't ask, it's still way too early and they probably have tons of thank you cards to get through. If they haven't received it and you can't afford to send a replacement one, then you asking her about it wouldn't accomplish anything!

This. I've always heard up to a year is standard.

That's to SEND a gift to the newlyweds, not to write thank you's.

Yep, definitely give them more time. I imagine they have barely gotten back to a regular routine after having a wedding.
