Nothing...Sometimes people forget or make one out and it gets lost or just dosen't know to do them. I never bought a gift for someone expecting a note of thanks. If I hand it to them they say thanks and thats the end of it, and if I place it on a table, thats the end of it...But that's me..

Me? I would nurture the grudge. Care for it and feed it. Tend to it every day. And when this couple's children get married, tell them that they will not be receiving a gift from you because of the boorishness of their parents. Then, laugh manically as you run from the room, tightly clutching your bottle of Thorazine to your chest.

If this doesn't work for you, go back and reread Elden's answer.

LOL Jay, and a big TU to you for your clever answer!

I also agree with Elden but would only add the the etiquette is (now this is according to my wife) that the bride and groom have up to 1 year to send thank you notes for gifts so look at the calendar before doing anything.

My feelings regarding gift giving is that I don't expect anything in return so that when it does happen I'm pleasantly surprised and that's better than being disappointed any day.

There is nothing you can do.  I have given wonderful wedding gifts and on occasions have not received a thank you note.  If it was a very close friend of mine and I saw her all the time then she would probably thank me in person.  It's a shame when the happy could don't send out thank you notes.
