Receiving gifts from people you didn't invite?? :/

How did they even know where you were registered? that's very kind and thoughtful just send a thank you note I guess lucky you!

It isn't that hard to google the two peoples names and have the registry show up. For some reason the Knot seems to often display the info.

My thought as well of how did they know where you were registered? That is a sticky place to be in, did they think they were getting invited or did you talk a lot to them about the wedding that made them think they were going to be included? Write a thank you of course regardless if you end up inviting them or not

Her sister was my long time best friend. Her sister and I recently reconnected and have become good friends again so I am sure she told her. Her sister is of course invited, but since I've only seen the gifter once in a couple of years though and I wasn't planning on inviting her and her husband though because we are way over

I sent a wedding gift to an old friend when I found out she was getting married. I hadn't seen her in years and did not anticipate being invited as we aren't as close as we were growing up. most people either register at BBB, Macy or Target so I checked to see, found her registry, sent something out of courtesy and called it a day. Received a thank you note a few weeks later. If it was someone you haven't seen in a while, I wouldn't invite them just because they sent you something and chances are they aren't expecting an invite but wanted to do something nice as a thinking of you kind of thing. Send them a thank you note and call it a day.

I agree with Betty. Sometimes people are just being kind. I was tempted to send some friends that just got married that I wasn't invited to the wedding a gift. Mostly cause I was excited for them and cause I could care less if I was invited to the event or not in regards to being excited for them.

My coworker bought me a gift off my registry. She knows she isn't invited because she's new but knew it would be nice.

I also have no problem sending a wedding gift to people I like even if I'm not invited. It's a nice thought. It doesn't mean I expect to be invited to the wedding.

Thank you guys!! Wasn't sure how to approach it!!

I received a wedding gift from my co-workers though none of them are invited and they know that. They are just happy for me and want to give a gift.

Write a thank you note back and thank the gifter for the gift. But no need to send an invite or anything unless you want to. Some people just want to support a couple getting married even if they won't be there to celebrate with them.

I received a gift from my mom's friend who knew she wasn't invited (mom is very fond of telling people how small our wedding is). I sent a thank you note and congratulated them on their 30th anniversary, I think that will do.
