Gift question

emichele87

I was looking on my regisrty the other day and saw that there were gifts purchased that DH and I never recieved. Now my question is, is there any way to politely ask around about these gifts with out being rude? I would like to make sure that people are thanked, even if it was lost in shipping or something. 

And to be clear I don't care about the gifts, just making sure the people are thanked for the gifts. I'm OCD about thank you notes.

Unfortunately, the only way to ask around would be to ask people who didn't give you gifts if they had sent that pot or towel to you, which if they didn't send you a gift, would be extremely awkward and could come off as gift-grabby. You just have to hope that when they don't get thanked they will ask you about it, at which point you can explain that you never received the gift. You could always spread in certain circles (a group of friends, your close family, etc) that this happened and hope it gets back to the person who bought those items, so they'll know that you never received the item and didn't know who it was from and will understand. This is what I'm hoping happens with a gift we got for the wedding that had no card.

Sometimes the store might be able to tell you who bought stuff off your registry, especially if they bought online, or with a credit card.  I'd start there.

Where are you registered? If it's BBB, you're probably out of luck. There are numerous gifts purchased off my registry that we still haven't received, and there are two people so far who have said they sent gifts to our house, though nothing ever came. BBB was only able to help me with one gift because I knew who had bought me a gift and what she bought (she'd told my mom) and approximately when it was purchased. They were unable to help me with anything else because I didn't know who had bought what or when they bought them.

If you think you know who bought you something and when they may have bought it, try to contact the store. Otherwise, I don't think there's much you can do. Someone may have bought you a gift at the store and didn't want to bring it to the wedding, so they're waiting to hand deliver it to you at a later time. Or there was a computer glitch and things got marked purchased that weren't. There are a lot of possibilities, but I wouldn't go asking guests who didn't get you anything if they had purchased the items in question.

Thanks so much! It was from BBB so i guess I'm out of luck. I will just hope that someone might mention it and them I will know!
