What would you do if you sent a gift to a friend for her baby & never heard back?

Sandi Beach asked:


I mailed a baby gift to a friend who lives in another state just before Christmas,after receiving an announcement of the baby’s birth.She & I were close before she moved but since the move we have only corresponded by mail. I don’t even know her phone number or if she has an e-maill address, since she moved about a year ago. I am a little hurt that she hasn’t responded to thank me for the gift, not that that’s the reason I sent it. She is a nice person but I find it upsetting that she would not send me an e-mail or call or something. Should I just forget about it or write to her & ask her if she got the gift. I don’t want to embarass her.

Would anyone want to participate in a baby gift exchange?

Lisa C asked:


If so email me. It’s for those expecting or who have a child under the age of 3. If you know of a family you want to put their information in you can do that to. I can email you the copy of the letter. (similiar to a chain letter but it involves baby gifts, a friend of mine did it recently. It was neat)
You can put a family’s info on the letter (perhaps they recently had a fire/flood/financial loss etc.)

Help! What to gifts to get for someone’s wedding/baby shower?

Pink Satin Pants asked:


My sister is getting married next month, and I don’t know what to get her because of the unique circumstances.

This is her third wedding, and I’ve already gotten her some expensive crystal and some flatware, but I’m kind of tired of giving her stuff, since she keeps getting divorced.

Also, she’s marrying my ex-husband, whom she met at my wedding in 2007. They were sneaking around behind my back for year before I found out about it. I wouldn’t have found out at all, except the b@stard knocked her up, so it was kind of hard to miss. Now they’re expecting triplets because of the IV therapy, and I have to throw them a shower before the wedding.

So I’m wondering if I can get them one gift for both occasions or if I have to get them separate wedding and baby shower gifts. And do I have to get them three baby gifts?

Are there any special themes for third weddings like there are for anniversaries, like “paper anniversary?”
I almost forgot. It’s June wedding, if that changes anything. And do you think I should pay for the bridesmaid dress? I don’t think she should expect me to pay for yet another bridesmaid dress. That’s just tacky.
EDIT: Oops! I mean IVF!
