My partner and I were recently married and I have two questions about gifts. I apologize if you've already answered these questions - I swear I looked. If it is a repeat, please direct me to where to find the answers.
We invited one of our close friends and his son, his mother (who he doesn't live with) as well as his girlfriend and her son, who we have become friends with. They all came to the wedding, but the friend signed his and his son's name to the gift his mother gave, while the girlfriend and her son's names are not on any gifts. We are not offended that they did not give us anything, however, we are unsure as to whether we should assume that the gift from the friend, his mother and his son is also from the girlfriend and son as well (hence addressing the thank you card to them as well) or should we just thank the friend, his son and his mother? My gut says to only thank those whose names are on the card, but I feel bad not thanking the girlfriend and her son.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Dear Almostdone,
I appreciate those who know the value of thank you notes. Thank you!
Your first instinct is correct. You need only thank those whose names are on the mentioned on the card.
Thanking only those listed on the wedding card
