Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Do your in-laws acknowledge your anniversary? What about your birthday? My family is very big with cards or at least a text for special days.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes for both.

For our birthdays, we get a card and cake. For our anniversary, it's typically just a phone call or text message congratulating us.

Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

My inlaws do but my parents don't.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes, they send us a card for both our birthdays and our anniversary.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

My inlaws sometimes wish us happy anniv by text or facebook. I don't think they did this year. My parents go over the top with a handwritten card and overly generous gift, more than anything DH and I did for one another. It's just how they each are for any occasion.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes, actually today is mine and DH's wedding anniversary and they sent us a card with a check to go out to dinner. They are always very thoughtful. They do the same for birthday's--card and gift.

Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes, card and a gift or $.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

In laws nope... Its pretty sad. I don't expect it from my FIL but def my MIL. My parents though give us a call, card, and gift.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

My MIL yes.. FIL no. And my own mom nope.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes, they send us a card usually with a $100 check to send us out to dinner. They've always acknowledged my birthday with a card and a small gift.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes, usually just a call or text saying Happy Anniversary. They do give me a gift for my birthday and always have.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes. I am very fortunate to have inlaws who are incredibly generous. They always give us a gift for our anniversary based on the "materials" chart (i.e. robes for the 1st year which was cotton) and this year, for our 5 year anniversary, they are taking us to PerSe.

MIL always calls on my Bday and gives me a gift.

I lost my mother last year, so I am really grateful for the relationship I have with my inlaws.

Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

For our 1st anniversary I got cards and a gift card for a place we like for dinner and my parents paid to have 3 of our wedding pictures frames so it was a big deal. Last year we got a card and a small gift from both my in laws and parents. So I am assuming we will always at least get a card for our anniversary but I am sure the gifts will stop. For our birthdays we both always get something. Our birthdays are 10 days apart so we pick a Sunday and have both family over for dinner and cake.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes both sides do.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

They really only acknowledge our anniversary because we usually go away for the weekend and my in laws will watch the kids one night, otherwise they would probably forget about it. Last year my in laws and sil bought us a gift card for the resort we were staying at because it was our 10 year anniversary. But other then that, we don't get gifts from them. We both get a card and $100 on our birthdays.

my mom does, my grandmother always did as well - she would get us a themed gift based on the year anniversary we were at. My mom gives us gifts, last year it was date night gift cards knowing I was pregnant so that we could have a date night before DS arrived. My MIL doesn't live local, but she will send us a happy anniversary message.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

My in-laws acknowledge our anniversary. marriage is important to them. They are very much in love and have been for 45 years.
My parents do not acknowledge our anniversary. They are divorced and even when they were married things weren't strong.

Birthdays- yes, both my in-laws and parents acknowledge.

Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

My parents and my sil does send us a card every year. My mil/fil do not, and neither does dh's brother or sil.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes, both sides acknowledge milestones like birthdays and anniversaries. We do it for everyone in the family, but both of our families are really small.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes, both sides acknowledge our anniversary and birthdays with a card and a gift. We also get a phone call for our birthdays from both.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

My MIL does... she actually gives us a card with money every year (even though I tell her she doesn't have to) and tells us to go out to a nice dinner.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

No, never. My mom does.

Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

My mother in law calls DH on my birthday for him to pass the message on to me. They also take us out to eat and gives a gift. My mom also acknowledges Dh bday. Neither side really acknowledges our anniversary

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

Yes; mine and in-laws both do.

Re: Do your inlaws acknowledge your anniversary

anniversary, no never, she is also not in her right mind and has memory problems,
she will give us a bday present whenever she buys it, we have gotten Christmas gifts in july cause she bought it and doesn't want it in her apt, then forgets she gave it to us and buys us something else for Christmas so I know its not just her being rude or anything she truly doesn't remember
