Any experience with stolen gifts?! When to seriously look into it?!

If they were stolen you can't do shit about it now. Send everyone a thank you card, leave out the gift part from people who didn't give just a generic thank you for celebrating the day with you and call it a day lol.

Tech I believe periods have a year to get you gifts. A bunch came while we were on our honeymoon. And n everyone will give a gift. I think 2 of our bridal party did. And that was fine our gift was them being there

You'd be surprised at the people who choose not to buy you anything. You say nothing about a missing gift unless they say something about a missing gift. For the one with no name, the person may reach out to you to ensure that you have it.

Did you get the Bridal party gifts? Typically, thank yous cards are given with the gifts. If you didn't, a nice card and small token for standing up for you will take care of them. As for everyone else, thank them for coming to spend their time with you on your special day.

Wait it out a bit. At my bestfriend's wedding, the bridal party gave the gifts the day after. So did her closest relatives (we knew we'd see them.)

Maybe they'll mail it even?

Otherwise, just thank them for coming to your wedding and in the case of BP for being a part of.

Last year FH and I went to a wedding and completely forgot the card w/cash on our counter on the way out. When we were saying goodbye to the bride and groom, we told them to keep an eye out in the mail for it, though.

We had quite a few people not give us gifts or cards. You just don't mention it. And the reception is the thank you for guests. Thank you cards are for physical gifts/cash. If you send a thank you to someone who didn't give a gift, it can look like a passive aggressive attempt at pointing that out.

Wait. I got gifts weeks and months after the wedding. Just send thank you notes for the gives you have received so far.

I forgot the card with cash in it for my friend's wedding, I just mailed it to them later

I received gifts last week (almost a year later) from the wedding. Surprised, but I'm really glad I have some extra thank you cards!

No one is obligated to give you gifts.

25 out of 175 is pretty normal. Not everyone gives a gift or card, and some people wait until after. We received gifts up until about 5 months after our wedding. Just send thank you notes for the gifts you've received, and don't compare it to your guest list to see who didn't gift.

The only card I am searching for is from my boss, his wife handed it to me, I shoved it into a bag in my bridal suite but I have not unpacked it.

Thank you for the advice! I will wait it out. And send thank you's only to those who we have gifts from.

Good idea @christina I will make sure to order extra thank you's!

Honestly, I've been to weddings where all I could afford was to attend/participate - especially as a poor grad student, sometimes just the plane ticket and hotel wiped out my savings account. If you don't know their financial situation, don't assume they can afford to give anything.

Agreeing with @Emilyg, the last wedding I went to was a rough financial burden. To point it out could be mortifying for some to admit they couldn't afford more than to be there.

We're sending thank you's to everyone, regardless if we received a gift from them. Looking back, the only ones we didn't receive gifts from were some of the bridal party, which was fine, because they had to pay for their formalwear and whatnot. We didn't expect gifts or cards from everyone. I would just send a thank you to everyone for attending (and for a gift if they gave one) and maybe someone will speak up and ask if you got their gift.

I went and purchased the remaining items on my registry today!! It was a fun and freeing experience to no longer have to wait or wonder. I am so back and forth with giving thank you's to everyone @kristenbeez especially because like @emily and @eng said if they can't afford it than cool, I'm glad you made the effort to come!
