Thank you for your kind thoughtfulness in sending me this gift.

Please accept this returned gift and I hope that you will also accept my regrets and apology.

I am so glad you want to return the gifts; it shows good character.
You don't need to go into detail about why wedding cancelled;
the ones who need to know why probably already knows.
Thank you for the lovely -------(whatever). It was quite thoughtful of you but since the wedding was cancelled; I (or we) (am or are)
returning your gift. As ever ----------------your name or names.

Due to an unforeseen series of events, the wedding of John Doe and Jane Smith has been postponed/cancelled. (You choose, whichever is appropriate.) At the request of the bride/groom, all gifts are being returned. Your thoughtfulness and understanding are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bride/Groom

First off, sorry to hear about the situation.
"Add a note to the gift thanking them for their gift, but that you feel that you should return it as the wedding has been cancelled."
See the link "Calling off the Wedding Etiquette" link below.

The cancellation announcement should be in the newspaper.
With the gift,
"Dear Jane and Bob:
Thank you for sending the lovely plate.
I hope to see you soon.
Best wishes,
Sarah"

Thank you for wanting to celebrate our wedding. We both appreciate your kindness, thoughtfulness and love. These are the essence of true community of family (or friendship.)
Since we have decided to call off the wedding, it is only appropriate to return your gift. We know you will also support each of us through this difficult decision and time.
Then if you need to add a personal note to someone special . . . add it on . . .

How about, We cancelled our wedding. We feel we should return our wedding gifts since we did not get married. Thank you anyway.

Just keep it and save yourself the trouble. If they want it back, they can ask for it. Maybe that is a GOOD ENOUGH answer.
If you want, you could say something like, "We regret to inform you that our wedding has been cancelled. Therefore, we are returning your gracious wedding gift. Thank you for your consideration and thoughtfulness."

We appreciate the gift but it wouldn't feel right if we kept it since the wedding is cancelled.
(Something along the lines of that)
