Over 30 days & bridal shower gift not acknowledged?

I am out of state so when I got the shower invite in July (shower in mid-August) I logged onto the registry and ordered a gift to be sent to the address the couple included in their registry -- through the store (Macy's), they don't show you the shipping address.

The order was placed July 18th and noted to ship by July 20th.

I am figuring that its been about a month since the shower and closing in on 2 months from when the gift was shipped & should have been received. The wedding is this coming weekend.

I'm not super-close with the cousin whose wedding it is, and I think it is possible that they might have confused the gift I intended for the shower to actually be a wedding gift so *maybe* they are going to acknowledge the gift after the wedding (we are attending the wedding & will be giving a gift for that).

At what point do I ask: Did you get the glasses I ordered from your registry for your shower?

If Macy's messed up & didn't ship the glasses, I want to follow-up. But I also don't want to be pushy knowing how frantic it can be before a wedding.

    I bet it is like you said- that they were confused about it being a wedding gift or they are just behind on thank you notes, but I understand your desire to confirm that they received the gift. I don't think it would be too pushy to send a quick email to the bride to check. Or perhaps get in touch with the mother of the bride or maid of honor so they could find out without causing any stressful feelings.

    If you don't want to approach your cousin directly, could you ask her mum or MOH? Somebody must have been keeping a list of what was received from whom.

    Though as someone else said, perhaps they're not thank-you-senders. One of my cousins had an engagement registry, a wedding registry and a baby shower. I didn't receive a thank you note for any gift I sent, and that was about three or four years ago.

    some etiquette states that in case you attend a bathtub you deliver a latest and in case you attend the marriage you deliver a latest besides the actuality that it would not specify WHAT the present may well be. I often get a latest for the bathe (for the reason which you're to bathe her with presents and this could be a particular time set aside to open grants) and then for the marriage i'm getting a the couple a mind-blowing, sentimental card. I often write something own in it with my own hand so they do no longer think of that I rushed out and acquired a card. EDIT - I could upload that i've got been a bridesmaid two times and now i'm the bride. because of the fact the bride, i do no longer assume the bridal occasion to furnish me any presents; it fairly is as much as them. Their present to me is being there for me and my FH.

    U should ask her now bc Macy's might have a cut off period for filing complaints about items not shipped.

    She probably was waiting to send all of her thank u cards until after the wedding.

    There is also the possibility that your cousin just isn't going to send thank you notes...

    But regardless, yeah, go ahead, give her a call and say "Hi, Macy's never sent me any sort of confirmation number, so I wanted to make sure the glasses I bought for you arrived?"

    More than likely Macy's sent the gift and it arrived just fine. That is what they do every single day - they send packages off registries to brides. More than likely she got it and just elected not to write a thank you note. Than happens MUCH more often than Macy's screwing up an order. If you want to put the girl on the spot and ask her if she got the gift, that's your decision. I sure wouldn't do it, as I believe life is too short for "confrontations". Best case scenario, you embarass her. Worst case scenario she lies and says she didn't get it then you go chasing Macy's around to prove they delivered it (which they will) and then she is REALLY embarassed. Just saying.

    I think you can call her today. If the gift didn't get shipped correctly, you need to be able to contact Macy's and get it taken care of.
