Receiving a gift in the mail without a name

kmbay84

Hello knotties!

I wanted to see what you all thought.  We received a gift today from UPS, but there is not a card inside.  I don't need a card or anything, but there isn't a name of who sent it either.  I would love to send a thank you card, but I obviously don't know who sent it.  Am I out of luck with being able to send a thank you card?  I feel like asking people if they sent it would be downright awkward and rude since that would imply that I expect some sort of gift.  Would the only possible solution would be to see if anyone asks how I like it or something to that effect?

I know this probably seems like a minor problem, but I figured I would get opinions of those well versed in the art of wedding related etiquette.

Thanks!

Could you put the word out to the family gossip??  "Oh, we just received this beautiful metal rooster named Beyonce, but there was no card.  Do you have any idea who might have sent it??"  Word could get out that way

How long till your wedding??  If it's close, you could also wait and try to match up gifts from other guests to see if that can narrow your list.

Our wedding is July 11th.  Good idea on the matching up gifts, thanks!

Is it from a store that your registered at? If so, many of them have thank you managers where they put who gave the gift. This happened to my sister, and she was able to use the manager to see who sent it.

My sister sent my husband a gift and for whatever reason the note was missing. We had no idea who gave it, and I told my mom about it (thinking maybe she sent it). My sister eventually texted me and said, hey did H get the gift I sent.

It is from a store that we registered at!  I didn't know about that!  Thank you @huskypuppy14!

Can you look at the tracking number?  It would at least indicate where it was sent from.... not so much help if they ordered it online but if they sent it themselves you'd at least get an idea of where it was sent from which might help narrow it down.
