I got a check in the mail recently a guest who was not able to come to the wedding.
Very gracious of her, but unfortunately, she put the wrong name. She thought H's MIDDLE name was his (and now our) LAST name. Not only that, but I think she spelled it wrong too because on our invitations, the font was a little weird and made it look like the C was a G.
I need to tell her, but I'm not sure exactly how to word it. Kind of embarrassing for both of us. I'm emailing her because I don't have her phone number, and she can be difficult to get in contact with anyways.
Something like, "We received your lovely card and gift in the mail! Thank you so much for thinking of us, but I think there was some confusion about H's last name. His name is actually ____. Do you want me to tear up the check?"
The last part is the part I'm most unsure of. Should I just ask "what would you like me to do?" Or.... ?
Suggestions? I just don't want to sound ungrateful or like I'm being critical. It's a mistake that I'm sure could happen to anyone. And I really appreciate her sending a gift at all!
