  was it from your registry?  some registry sites offer a log where you can see who bought what.

  who are the 5 possibilities?  close friends?  2nd cousins?  If they were close I might mention "oh hey, we got a food processor with no name on it; any chance you saw anyone walk in with that sized box?"  if not I might just write those 5 people a "thanks for coming" TY note and if they got you the gift hopefully they'll reach out to confirm you got it and you can thank them / explain the situation then.

  Ditto Kate on checking the registry. Otherwise, this is the one wedding-related facebook post I don't mind seeing, "H and I love the _____ we received for our wedding, and we've love to properly thank the giver, but it got separated from its card and we don't know who it is from. If you do, please message me or H." Hopefully someone will pipe up.
  

  oo that's a good one.

  We had one gift that had no card in site.  We only had family or extremely close friends at the wedding and I asked everyone that was at the wedding that we didn't "check off" for sending a TY note for...no one claimed it.  Unfortunately, we had to let a gift slide by without a proper TY note.  If you can't narrow it down, a generic TY note for attending may be your only option.

  I posted a note on Facebook saying something to the effect of "we got x and y at the wedding. If it was you let us know." I also told my parents and his parents so if anyone contacted them about it (like their friends I wasn't friends with on FB), they could tell us.
  
  Still, we never did find out who gave us our gifts. I feel kind of bad but there's nothing else we could do without asking everyone which would have been really hard and probably would have come across rude.

  We had a present without a tag too. It was purchased off our registry, so we contacted BBB, who were able to tell us which state it was purchased in, but not by whom. Thankfully, that narrowed the list down to a solid lead, so I sent my suspect a quick email to confirm it was her. She wrote back it was. Problem solved.
  
  If it wasn't on the registry, I'd probably still bang my head against the wall, or I'd look at my list of people who hadn't sent a gift to see if it was anyone I'd feel comfortable approaching it about. Good luck!

  Just wanted to update. So I was able to narrow it down to 5 people, it could possibly be. So I decided to text one of the 5 whom I knew best. It turned out that it was from her and her husband. (Pretty much what fuerst suggested) It wasn't on the registry and apparently they have beer glasses for us too, that just didn't fit in the original bag.
  
  Thank you

  My cousin had a gift with a phantom card. It happened to be from ME. I missed her shower and brought the gift to the wedding.
  
  All she did was ask her mom who got her the cake stuff. It was like a telephone tree. Aunt got on the phone with Great Aunt. Great Aunt got on the phone with her sisters. Her sisters asked their kids...and my mom answered the question.
