We don’t know who gave us a gift.

Hi all! We got married on Saturday and went through our gifts/cards today and yesterday. It feels like Christmas 😆

We received a gift from a guest but we don’t know who gave it to us. The gift was a game that was not on our registry and the card that was in the bag was not written in ☹️ We only have a few people that didn’t give us a gift so we assume it is one of them, but we have no clue how to thank this person. Any advice?

I'd say message those few people and say that some gifts got mixed around and you were wondering what they may have brought you. I had a bride do that to me once because our card got separated from the gift.

Oh man I have no idea how you'd go about approaching that!

On Christmas, I've said a broad thank you for this unmarked gift on facebook and the person behind the gifting generally takes credit?

I don't think its appropriate to message the few people and ask because if they didn't get you anything it could be embarrassing for them. Since it's only 5 extra people, I'd just send them all a thank you card but keep it pretty generic like "Thank you so much for coming to celebrate our wedding day and support our marriage!"
This way everyone gets a thank you card so they don't go unnoticed but you don't have to call out anyone who didn't give you a gift.

IMO, all people should be thanked for coming whether they gave a gift or not. So for those 5 that didn't, maybe in addition to the generic thank you for celebrating with us, you can put a PS - if you were the one's that gifted us the awesome whatever game, please know that we love it, but didn't know who it was from...

I really like this idea. It is generic enough as to not make the ones that didn't give a gift feel bad but also ask who did give the gift.

I think this is what we are going to go with! Thanks so much!! We felt uncomfortable reaching out to the people who didn’t get us a gift because we didn’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable or guilty.
