Send a thank you

Dear Prudence,

My partner of nearly 30 years and I recently got married. We had a catered ceremony and reception, and people treated it like a normal wedding and gave gifts, mostly of cash and checks. My new wife is keeping her last name. One of the guests made out a check to “Adam and Eve” (not our real names) with no last name on the check. We don’t need the money (which is among the reasons we got married), but I want to honor them and accept their gift. It feels very weird to ask for a new check. My inclination is to just toss it without comment, but then we can’t honor and accept their gift. Any ideas?

—Thank You for the Gift

    Thank them for the gift and let them know that the bank cannot process the check as it does not have a last name.  Let them know you truly appreciate that they were there, they are under NO obligation to send you a second check however the first check is not going to be deposited as it lacks the identifying information required.  Should they want to remedy the situation with a new check your last names are Mertz and Riccardo.

    This is one of those times IMO to be delicate but advise what's going on especially since plenty of people are quite detailed with their checkbook ledger.
