Thank you note...?

Don't mention the not getting invited.Just send a Thank You note. Just to acknowldge thier good deed.

The same kind of thank you note that you'd send to someone who was invited. I think it's pretty common for people who know you to give gifts even when not invited to a wedding. With the cost per head at a reception, everyone knows that the guest list is limited.

Send it just like you would any other gift. Don't mention anything about not being invited. Just put yourself in their shous. They are not sending a gift in order to inquire about why the are not invited. They are sending it out of kindness and a simple note of appreciation for the gift is appropriate.

That was very nice! Don't mention not being invited, or sorry you were not invited, because that just puts it out there. Say something along the lines of:

Dear friend,

The gift you sent was absolutely exquisite! (husband) and I will use it so often, and we appreciate it much. Please keep in touch, and thank you again!

Love,

(your name)

It's simple, gets the job done, yet nice, and doesn't put out there that they weren't invited. Congrats on getting married!

It is really not necessary for them to give you a gift, but since they did, just thank them for it and maybe give them any remaining wedding party favors as a token of appreciation for their gift.

You thank them the same way that you would an invited guest.

Dear ( ),

Thank you for the thoughtful gift that you sent. We are so looking forward to having it in our home as we start our new lives together. Your thoughtfulness meant so very much to us.

With Warmest Regards,

You

Just pretend that you never received a gift... and when they ask about it say, "what are you talking about... I never received a gift from you... I never even got married... you must have me confused with someone else..."

Then you can avoid the conflict of not inviting them in the first place. Also change your number and move.

Sure, a "Thank you note" is a great way to show him/her, that even when you dont invite he/she, you still apreciate his/her gentle gesture. I also recomend you to hand write it, and include something like " it was a very small an private ceremony but all the special people, like you, that touched our lives and honor us with their frienship, where in our hearts. Thanks you"

good luck ;)

Send a thank-you card.

Send them some pictures and a thankyou card
