I went to a wedding for a family member 2 months ago this weekend. I am really big on sending handwritten thank you cards as soon as I get a gift, or if someone does something nice for me. It's been two months and I never got a thank you card for the $250 we put in a card for them. I also never got any acknowledgement of the shower gift I sent in November. (I didn't even think about this until now when I realized we never got one from the wedding eitther.) Is this a new thing? Do people not send thank you cards anymore? The bride and groom are very young (21 & 23)...so I am not sure if this is just something that goes along with their generation. How long after the wedding do you expect a thank you, if you expect it at all?
