Haha whoops

So I just got an e-mail from H's step-mom about Christmas stuff, and she wanted to make sure we had the address of some friends of theirs for our christmas cards that are going out next week. OK, I thought. No big deal. Then I read on... she says, "I'm not sure that John and Jane put their address on the card they had me bring to the wedding for you..."

And suddenly I realized that in my thank you note that I sent them (yes, I already had their address) I'm 99% sure I wrote something about how it was so great for them to make the trip up to MI (from TN) for the wedding.

Haha. Whoops.

    And now that I think about it, I remember getting the card - we opened all our gifts at home the next day - writing the card & gift down on my list, then thinking, "Huh. I don't remember meeting them."

    We didn't think we'd need to cross-check our gift list against our attendance list to make sure that all these people were, indeed, there. Oh well.

    Ooops. 

    Oh well.  To be honest, I didn't even realize what people weren't at our wedding until a few days later when we had a chance to calm down.  If a card or gift from absentee guests had appeared, I would have been really confused.

    Oh no! I feel your pain since I did the opposite of this. We had a guest who rsvpd "no" and then a week prior to the wedding my MIL told us that this woman was actually able to make it. Before she changed her mind she had sent us a card apologizing for not being able to make it.
    After the wedding I wrote in the thank you card "We understand you not being able to make it to our wedding. We hope to see you at Christmas."

    I guess when I do see her at Christmas I'll explain what happened. There's no easy way to apologize for not remembering seeing someone who made a special trip out for you wedding though!

    Aww, I dunno L-Bride... I'd try to make light of it and say something about how you saw SO MANY people that day and had so many things going on in your mind at one time, it's all a little fuzzy in your mind.

    That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it. :)
