My new husband and I had a medium/large wedding, and we left directly from the reception on our honeymoon. There was a small group of friends and family, primarily my Mom, left to gather up our belongings, including any gifts that were beautifully given to us, and bring them back to our apartment. A couple of guests who attended, who are friends of mine, and whom I know either asked about where we were registered or what we needed for a gift.....well, no card or gift seemed to be there, either sent before or received at the wedding or since. It's been 5 weeks now. I really am not concerned that they may have chosen not to give us anything, but the 2 couples I am thinking of are are certainly not the type to make that choice. My FEAR is that in the cleanup of everything that somehow their gifts, (probably cards with checks, which most gifts for us poor 40 somethings were), were lost, or sadly perhaps, <gulp>, taken. I can only think perhaps the catering staff might have.... but I am more worried they were just lost in transit/unloading the car, or were left at the church where they got scooped up. I want to be sure to thank them for their gift, but I don't know what to thank them for.....and if it was a monetary gift, most likely a check, I kind of want them to see if it was cashed so we have some idea of what happened. I have kept excellent records of all that we received and truly feel I did not overlook anything. I just hate to not be able to say specifically "thank you for your generous gift of $100"......or more importantly, if they gave us an object, I want to thank them for that! What can I do? How do I ask them "Did you give us anything?" I'm sick thinking about it!
