Thank You Note Mess.

Today we finally went through all of our cards from our wedding and wrote the thank you cards out and ran into a problem. We found 2 "loose" gift cards and a card with no signature and a gift card inside.

I did find one card with nothing in it that was not sealed BUT I also found a card that was also unsealed that stated they owed us a gift. There were no amounts an either gift card.

What the heck do I do?

Also, just making sure we did the correct thing. DH and I are both moving in together from separate addresses and had a small wedding so we sent out address change cards/announcements to everyone with our updated information. Our bridal shower was 2 weeks ago so I got to those thank yous on Wednesday (I know I am behind, just tons of family issues) and I plan on mailing the wedding thank yous next week when I get home from vacation. I did do the right thing by making sure each event had its own thank you? I feel like its a little redundant but then again, it was separate gifts.

I am just fustrated with not being able to thank several people properly.

Re: Thank You Note Mess.

  • If you received the card at your wedding and not in the mail, I would assume that sending them a thank you card for sharing in you and your husbands special day would work

  • You did the right thing; separate events = separate thank yous.

    How many people on your guest list didn't give gifts?  Are you looking at three gifts and 5 possible owners or, like, 30 possible owners?  If it's a small number I might have someone close to those guests (who isn't you/H) inquire.  i.e. BFF or mom mentions "hey BTW daffy had some loose gift cards, do you know of anyone who gave one?"  That or just write "thanks for coming" cards to everyone and hopefully those who did give gc will reach out to make sure you got it.

    The one where they said a gift is coming you can go either way.  Write a 'thanks for coming' thank you and send a separate one when you get the gift or just wait it out.  You don't have to send a TY for a card, so even if a gift never comes you're not out of line to wait.

  • Well the one card with a gift card has no name at all. No idea at all who that came from. I cant remember every person who was there. The other gift cards have a possibility of 5 owners. I think I am going generic route. This is just so bizarre I have never seen anything like that happen.
