My husband and I wrote down all the gifts and who got them for us on a piece of paper. I've already sent out thank you cards to anyone who sent us gifts before the wedding but not for the wedding itself. Anyway, we lost the list with the names on it so I have no idea who sent me what or who sent me anything for that matter.
I waited to send out the thank yous because I wanted to wait on pictures from the wedding to get here first so I could put a wallet picture of us in the Thank You's. But since it has been two weeks since we wrote the names down and I am just getting the pictures in - I have misplaced it.
What should I do?

Do a generic printed card, especially since you ordered pictures for every card. I know you'd prefer to give personalized cards, but maybe something that says "Thank you for being present for our big day. We appreciate all the gift and well wishes given", or something. That's what I would do, anyway.

I just went through the same situation, however I was lucky and finally found the list. My game plan was to thank them for attending the wedding and make sure they knew how important their presence at the wedding was. Then just a generic thank you for the wedding gift. If you have a Vague idea of what they may have got you you can be a little more specific. But if not be vague. Trust me you are not the first person to have this happen or will you be the last. Good Luck!

You probably do remember who was at the wedding. Send them a thank you card and thank them for sharing your special day. Include the picture... that's a very nice idea. This would be better to include the gift, but it's definitely better than no note at all.

Per Miss Manners, cards with pre-printed messages are not used for thank you notes and letters. (Hey, don't yell at me, go argue with Miss Manners. I'm just reporting what she says.) Send everyone a handwritten note telling them how much you appreciate "everything" and how pleased you were to see them. If you have the photos to consult and can add personal touches like "what a gorgeous green dress" that will make it seem less like spam. Write the note on either a formal or informal (with a picture on the front) BLANK note card. Send them all at the same time.

Oh yikes. That is a dilemma! I guess the only thing you can do is write a generic thank you card. Something like "Thank you so much for the wonderful wedding gift. We were so happy that you could be there with us to share our special day, blah, blah, blah"
Try your best to search one more time for the list. Personalized wedding thank you cards mean so much more.

If you cannot find the list--and you know who was at the wedding--send cards thanking them for sharing the day with you. If anyone brings it up--just explain that you lost the list.
Everyone understands the chaos that goes along with a wedding. Don't sweat it.

Send everyone who attended a thank you note.
State you are sorry that you cannot thank them for a gift if they gave one, because they lost the list. So you are thanking them for attending the wedding and having their presence as their present.

Send a standard card and include the picture. Most people will appreciate the photo and not really care that you didn't mention the specific gift they gave you. No need to stree over it.

Really try to think about what you got and who might have gave it to you. Look in your guest book for the people who attended. If you have to just write a generic card to people saying thank you for the gift and thank you for attending, its better then nothing. It happens to eveyone, somebody gets forgotten. Good Luck and Congrats on your new marriage.

At the very least, write a super-nice generic thank you......just thnks for coming to the wedding, and the gift...but really address how much you simply appreciated them being there to share your special day. (that helps detract from not mentioning the specific gift)
