Dont wanna be rude...

So, at my shower, Joshs aunt gave us a card and in it wrote "I donated money toward your honeymoon!" After all the gifts were open she came up and told me how excited she was that we had a honeymoon registry because she thought that was the greatest gift ever. No joke she was way excited! She said she called the agency itself and talked with our travel agent and she helped Aunt put money toward it.

Well, I got a call from our agent yesterday letting us know that our balance is due and the remaining balance is the same that it was a month ago when I put money toward it. I asked her about the aunt and she said "Oh yeah I talked with her. She said she was gunna try doing it online and if she couldnt figure it out she'd call me back the next day and I'd do it over the phone. She never called."

So I guess the question is 'now what?' Do we need the money....absolutely not. But she was so excited that I almost feel we should let her know it didnt go through. Of course then my mind wanders to 'what if it wasnt accidental' but I dont think shes that kind of person. Josh wants to let her know but said he doesnt know how to do it without sounding rude or money hungry. Is it possible or do I just let it go?

    Hmm, that's tough. If it were me I wouldn't say anything and act as if she contributed, when she checks her bank or credit card statement she will see that nothing has been deducted for the honeymoon and she might call you and ask. At that point I would just say you weren't aware her transaction hadn't gone through. Other than that I think it might feel awkward to call and mention it to her.

    Or maybe you could have your travel agent call her and let her know? That's all I got =)

    Agree with PP.  I don't think you can really bring it up gracefully yourself.  Travel agent is an option or hopefully she'll notice eventually that she hasn't actually paid for it....Either that or she'll get upset that she hasn't gotten a thank you card and then the truth will come out!

    Haha I could skip the Thank You. Oops!

    This is the same aunt that said to me at my shower "I called my daughter to see if she wanted to carpool...but you didnt even invite her to the wedding!" Dang straight! Shes a step cousin and for her wedding, everyone was invited except Josh and his sister. I didnt hear the aunt whining then!

    But anyways, thats why Im wondering if it was on purpose. Ugh. Ill call my agent and see if she minds calling. Thanks ladies!
