    My sister (MOH) hosted my bridal shower at the beginning of May in Boston.  Since I currently live in Cali, she asked that all gifts be mailed to my home address and that people just print our a picture of their gift for the shower.  So when I returned home to Cali after the shower, I opened all of the boxes that had arrived at my house. I checked what I had received against the list of gifts that had been "given" at my shower, and I noted down any additions to the list from people who had not been able to attend the shower but had given a gift anyways.

    Well... at least I thought I did.  It turns out that I forgot to write down one of the gifts.  The woman who gave the gift is one of my mom's friends.  She called my mom the other day b/c she was worried that her gift hadn't been received.  At that time I went back and checked the gift recepts from all of my gifts.  (Luckily I saved them!)  I found that I had received this woman's gift, but had forgotten to note it down.  I therefore had also failed to send her a thank you note.  So of course I'm going to put her thank you note in the mail now ASAP.  Should I mention the mess-up in the thank you note?  Or should I just leave things as is?

    Id be honest and tell her you are sorry and embarassed that you didnt get the thank you note to her on time but in the frenzy of everything you didnt record everything properly.  Or have your mom tell her :)  I just think that if she mentioned something to your mom and she gets a thank you card a couple days from that, she will know its an oversight anyways. 

    Dont be too embarassed, I did the same thing!!! :)

    I'd be honest, but I am sure she'll understand. You're so busy, things get mixed up. You're doing the right thing by acknowledging it.
