  • Etiquette?

    I’ve seen this question on many boards before, but I never seem to get a good answer. 

    There was a guest at our wedding who did not send us a gift.  Not that we expected gifts from everyone, but this particular guest said that the “gifts are on the way” during the wedding.  We have not received anything from this guest.  So now I’m calling the registries and trying to find out if maybe this person sent something and we just never got it.  But, it looks like we’ve received everything that was bought.  So now I’m trying to figure out maybe this person went off-registry?  Or maybe this person sent money?

    So, how do I find out if this person sent something and it got lost, or if they accidentally forgot to send something?

    What is the right etiquette?  I will thank this person for coming to the wedding, but I would feel horrible if I didn’t thank them for a gift, if there was a gift purchased. 

    What do I do?
