We received several gifts without tags, so we dont know who gave them to us. Any suggestions on what to do to find out? we would like to send thank you cards.

This happened to my husband and I as well. We just sent thank you cards to everyone who attended. There was no way we could determine who gave us the unknown gift without the name tag.

One option is process of elimination. Sit down with the guest list and check off everyone who you know gave you gifts (meaning, you have the card or tag or whatever) and see who's left. Then you could get someone to help you subtly ask around.
If worse comes to worse, you can tell people that some tags got lost in all the moving of the gifts and you want to make sure you thank everyone properly. I know that I personally wouldn't feel offended if I got a call or email like that.

Go ahead and go through all the ones with names and get those done and over with. The rest it's going to be a bit difficult but perhaps if you talk to anyone who you thought perhaps didn't give a gift, tell them about the great gifts (but in tone that's not rubbing it in or making them feel bad) you got and go through the list of the tagless ones, they'll probably say "Yeah we gave you that..." and you can pull a "Yeah..I know...sorry guess I just had a brain fart...things have been pretty crazy." Or just say "some of the tags got knocked off between this location and that before we opened them so we weren't sure if you had given us this or that..." We actually wound up using both of those approaches...and it worked on like 5 out of the 8 that weren't tagged. The other three we were able to narrow down according to our list of people who came and sent random thank you's "Thanks so much for the wonderful gift and we're so glad you were able to attend...blah blah blah"....Good luck!

Enlist the services of other family members and friends that you know the gift already. Tell them the spot you're in, and have them casually ask around. Make a list of who you know gave you what, and see who's left after. Whoever isn't on the list, that's the ones that you have others ask.
You probably know what mom gave you, so ask mom to call Aunt Judy, who's not on the list of confirmed gifts, and have a chit chat, and casually ask what her gift was.

Process of elimations
Minus the cards you already sent out to those who signed a guest list.
Just call them up and ask.
I don't think people really care for recongnition for a gift they gave at a wedding..bringing a gift is more so they don't feel like a reloader since you bought them dinner.

This happened to us....if they are really worried about it, they will most likely call you or your parents to see if you received the gift. There really isn'tmuch you can do about this. Just be thankful that it is one less thank you note you have to write!

We sent thank you cards to everyone that attended the wedding -- this way we didn't miss anyone!
