Hello everyone - I have a little bit of an odd situation, and before I go on I want to emphatically stress that I do not mean to come off as gift-grabby or ungrateful, as that's not how I feel.
OK, so our wedding is August 19. My FI's friend and coworker, and his wife, who are coming to our wedding, sent us a gift of spatulas from our registry. I don't know if that was the whole gift or not! They were about $20. This is where the above disclamer comes in! I sort of don't believe that that is really all they intend to give us for a gift. (They're pretty good friends, he has a good job, we're going to their reception in a week and already sent their gift - all that stuff). I don't know if they plan on giving us a check as well in a card they bring to the wedding, for example, or if part of the gift was back-ordered, or if they really did only mean to send the spatulas. So, my question is, do I send the Thank You now and just mention the spatulas, or should I wait to see what happens? I've been trying to get the Thank Yous out as soon as possible as gifts come in (so they know it arrived and all that), this just seems weird. It's totally not about the gift or the price of it, I just can also see, if I send a note saying, "thanks for the spatulas" that, if there is something else to the gift, they would feel a little embarrassed that we thought that was all. I don't know what to do! What do you guys think? (Man, there really isn't a way to ask this question without it sounding petty, is there?)
