Otherwise, I'd leave it alone unless it somehow naturally came up in conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-follow-up-on-a-monetary-gift#post-1026440 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 15:00:16 +0000 Andrea 1026440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would give him another month. And give cash next time! I always give cash so I don't have to worry about people holding onto a check for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-follow-up-on-a-monetary-gift#post-1026391 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 14:20:01 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1026391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: do this...just ask him to cash it so you can balance your check book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-follow-up-on-a-monetary-gift#post-1026371 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 13:57:06 +0000 chopsuey 1026371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww he was probably embarrassed because he didnt invite you.<br /> I'm guessing he's seen the check but just hasn't deposited it!<br /> I'd write an email congratulating him again and to cash the check already! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-follow-up-on-a-monetary-gift#post-1026369 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 13:54:42 +0000 tequiero21 1026369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would follow up since its been over a month! You don't want any loose checks out there. Just send an email and ask if he's had a chance to look at the card.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-follow-up-on-a-monetary-gift#post-1026357 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 13:48:15 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1026357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm...I'd give it another month honestly. My husband for example, only goes to the bank about once a month or so an deposits all checks at that time.<br /> Plus- if it were 2 months later, he wouldn't think you were fishing or a thank you; he would be like "damn I need to cash that" or "wow, I didn't realize there was a cheque in there" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-follow-up-on-a-monetary-gift#post-1026274 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 12:41:25 +0000 sunny 1026274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe ask if he's had a chance to take a look at the card that you guys gave him? Though I would be worried about him thinking that you were impatiently waiting for a thank you card... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-follow-up-on-a-monetary-gift#post-1026262 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 12:36:29 +0000 Rubies 1026262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A coworker of mine had a destination wedding and no one from work was invited (obviously) but because he is a good friend, on our last day of work before he left, I gave him an envelope of congrats. I think he was embarrassed or something because he quickly said thank you and put it in his work bag. In the card was a cheque that has yet to be deposited. This was over a month ago.</p> <p>Do I let it go and just wait for him to find this? Do I let him know what was in the card? </p>
