Ok here is my dilemma. After the wedding, we went home and crashed. Husband opened all cards and tucked away all checks and cash. We opened all gifts next morning. Some where lost in transit, cards were not placed with gifts, gifts had no cards, so I haven't a clue who gave what, or if they gave at all. I have guest list from wedding I can go by for who attended!!! What do I do?!?!

okay, i would REALLY concentrate on how them being there made your day, that you loved how everyone showed up to support you two, THEN mention how you are so touched/blessed by everyone's generosity and to thank them for their gift.

I would try to ask your parents or any close friends if they know what some friends/family members were giving you. This might help you tie cards to gifts.
My furture mother in law ownes a boutique and I know her employees very well and they helped me with some gifts that I was not sure as to who gave them to us, ( I could not read their name on the card) I'm not sure if you registered at a small place like this but if so, you might be able to go in and ask who purchased what for you and they might be able to tell you.
If this does not help you can always thank those people who's name you have from the cards and checks and just say "thank you for thinking of us during this special time". You can make it very simple and this way they will not know if you are thanking them for the right gift.

Yikes! That's why it's always a good idea to write on the card what the person got you. Too late for that now, though! You could just say "thank you for attending our special day and for the thoughtful gift." However... if by chance they didn't give you a gift, well... ;o)

The checks wil have names on them, and really...most people use checks rather than cash. Also, check with your registry. They will give you a list of what was bought and by whom. After that, for the people who did give cash or bought gifts elsewhere, go with the thoughtful thank you ideas from the people above.
The important thing is everyone gets acknowledged. Don't worry too much. I once received a beautiful thank you for my crystal vase.... but actually my gift was one of her place settings. I just smiled. The gift was wrong, but the thank you was beautifully written with much thought behind it.

Husbands are so good at that - It's one of their most endearing traits - Really it is.
OK fess up to your guests. Explain that in all the hubbub of the wedding, all the cards somehow got separated from their respective gifts. You deeply regret this lapse in your usually ordered manner; and you want to thank each and every one for celebrating your marriage and thank you most sincerely for your kind and thoughtful gift.
What else can you do? Enlist your mother and friends to call each guest and ask what they gave you?
But being honest about the gifts and cards becoming separated is at least an attempt to thank people.
I rather doubt you're the first person that this has happened to.

Say,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful gift! But more importantly, knowing that you came to the wedding and supported us is the best gift of all.
Then add some little personal message like, "See you at work" or "Give the kids a hug from us" or whatever.

oh wow that is a big dilemma.I guess you could write everyone on your guest list and say thank you for the wonderful gift, and hope they all gave you gifts...it will be crazy to get a card and you never gave that person something.

A simple card with a note saying
'thanks for your thoughtfulness and sharing our big day with us' that way you are thanking them but you don't have to be specific about the gift.

thank you notes for any variety of journey ought to continuously be handwritten. as far because of the fact the "look" of the table certain, you could incredibly do in spite of it incredibly is you like. the marriage thank you does not inevitably ought to compare the invitation, whether it incredibly is generally greater value-efficient to purchase the thank yous once you purchase the invites. It additionally lends a feeling of cohesiveness while all of it fits IMO. in simple terms a be conscious on pre-revealed thank you's. mutually as there's no longer something incorrect with having something pre-revealed, you incredibly ought to write something very own in each between the thank you notes (signatures do no longer count quantity). I in simple terms won a marriage thank you 11 months after the marriage and all it pronounced exchange into "Love So and So." After the price of attending to the marriage and the various presents, we the two felt a sprint slighted with the cop-out of a thank you!

well...that is a pickle! Go through all the checks, they should have names on them. That should help with some of the thank you's. Hopefully you didn't get too much cash...much harder to trace. Otherwise, you could just say something general like, 'thank you so much for coming to our wedding, it was great to see you...blah blah...we appreciate 'everything'. "
Good luck!

Tough one.
I would just say...........thank you for the gift.It was most thoughtful of you and greatly appreciated.
You'll have to take the chance that those who attended all gave you a gift which I'm sure they would have.
Good luck.
