Re: Gift etiquette question...
I would send the gift anyway. You were already planning to so who cares what they think? I think it's rude they openly complained about not receiving your gift and who ever told you is lacking in social skills as well.

Re: Gift etiquette question...
I would send it anyway but just to clarify were they upset that you were going to go but at the last minute decided not to or did they expect you to hand the gift to someone that was going and you didn't?

Re: Gift etiquette question...
I would ask your MIL what she thinks is the appropriate response. Personally I would still send the gift, but frankly I think the people who are offended are in the wrong. You declined. While it would be nice for you to acknowledge the birthday girl, it does not necessitate a gift. My thought would be, I said happy birthday in my rsvp and if I did not send a gift then, well no gift would come after the fact. My opinion would be vastly different if you were a no show. In that case their being upset would be justified.

Re: Gift etiquette question...
We RSVP'd no...there was just no way we would have made it in time. We felt bad not going because this family came to all of our events (showers, wedding, baby shower)....we were definitely going to send a gift....but I forgot to send it out immediately!

Re: Gift etiquette question...
I have to also agree, it's only a week later for God's sake. People can be really rude and inappropriate sometimes! I would still send the gift, but seriously, if it were me, I would have to write something in there to the effect of I am hurt by the fact that you would think we wouldn't send you a gift. I've had a lot going on with the kids, blah blah, and thought I'd wait til after the party to send it! LOL I would get the last word...I don't take s*%& anymore from people, family or not. I speak up now because I am too good to everyone!
