Wedding Party Giving Gifts

Is there a chance that perhaps the gift, or card, was lost or stolen? I know it`s terrible, but often times gifts and cards are stolen from receptions by crashers who pose as guests.

Or perhaps they are waiting to give you a gift. Wedding gifts can be given up to one year after the wedding.

Or if it`s really bothering you......
Do you have a close (very close) friend that could causally ask the people who didn`t give you a gift "hey, what did you get curious bride for her wedding...we got her a Lenox crystal platter?" Although this is a bit devious and not something I`d highly recommend, it`s not a bad idea if you are worried that they did give you a gift but that it got `lost.` This way you can find out if they got you something so that you can send a thank you. It would be bad if they did give you a gift, it got stolen, no one knew, and then you never sent a thank you.

Just a few thoughts to ponder....

I think sometimes for the wedding party that it can be very expensive. I mean, they have to pay for their dresses or tux rentals, pre parties, hair and makeup, possibly travel expenses. All that can add up really quickly. Perhaps they thought that their gift to you was being there for you. To me, the presence of the one`s I love and their participation in the beginning of our new lives together is way more important than a blender. Them being there is gift enough. I wouldn`t dwell on it, just be thankful that they cared enough about you to incur the expense that YOUR wedding caused them. Hey, you`re married now, and (hopefully) blissfully happy. Don`t harp on small details. Enjoy the memories of your day and how lucky you were to share them with the people you love.

Thanks for the feedback...I appreciate it.
I am not upset if they didn`t give a gift....its just odd.
I have never heard of that.
And I am hoping that it wasn`t lost or stolen!!
