Wedding Shower Gift List GONE!

I am going through a mini-crisis right now where the excel spreadsheet I had entered all of our wedding shower gifts has somehow deleted the column I entered them in.

Any advice from anyone who has experienced this? I tried all things technological to get my guest list back from excel but it has not worked. Is it bad to ask people what they gave? I feel pretty bad right now, especially with the wedding being this Saturday....

I can only remember a handful of the people who gave us gifts, but there are certain gifts that are in multiple pairs (like towels, dishes, etc.) that I cannot remember for the LIFE of me who they are from. THere are also gifts like money that I cannot remember who gave what...



*sigh*

    Ask around with your mom, siblings and wedding party first to see if anyone remembers what a few of the gifts were.  Was there a paper list put together at the shower, or has it been trashed by now?  Any pictures of gift opening?

    Check your registry.  A lot of registries have something called a "thank you manager" where you can see who bought what from that registry.  So that could help you put some of the pieces together.

    from a technical POV, you might want to see if your computer has "previous versions" of your document.  I know Windows 2007 allows you to view these.  Good luck!

    Also check to see if the Excel column is just "hidden" and not actually gone.

    Worst case, you can always send a somewhat "generic" version of your thank you notes to everyone who attended the shower.  Tell them that you enjoyed their presence at the shower and that their generous gifts were very much appreciated.  Try to throw in details about what you do remember, such as good advice they gave you, or a funny marriage story they told at the shower.  This will make it personal even if you don't know exactly which gift they gave you.  The whole goal of thank you notes is to be courteous and make your guests feel loved.  As long as you write genuinely, you'll achieve the same goal even if you don't thank them for each individual gift.
