I was informed by a mother of the groom that newlyweds "have 6 months" to mail out thank yous.
My son thanks me verbally for gifts. His wife sometimes thanks and sometimes not. Since I don't ever want to be the evil MIL, I continue to send her gifts, but he gets more. I make table runners and think she probably gives them away. Not many family traditions in her family. She bluntly told me she wouldn't take time to put candy canes in a cross stitched Advent calendar I made for my boys over 30 years ago. We were very poor then and it had lots of good memories. So now I keep things like that. A lesson learned!
