Can your mom or MIL help sleuth it out by casually asking?
I dunno if it would be better to get 2 because then they'd think that they didn't make much of an impression on you guys. I agree with getting family to sleuth it up a bit or just call those people and casually ask if they got their thank-you's yet as you think the post office may have lost some (devious I know).
It's way worse to receive none at all, but I would definitely try to find out if possible who might have actually received theirs. I like the above suggestion of calling people you're unsure about and explaining that there was a "mishap".
There were about 5 people we received gifts from that I had the same problem. I couldn't remember if I'd already sent them a thank you or not. I opted for sending 2 cards. In the thank you card, I wrote something along these lines..."I'm sorry if this is the second time you're receiving this card, things have been very hectic around here, as you can imagine! I just wanted to make sure you know how much we really appreciate your gift." It's probably not the most tactful or graceful way to do it, but it works and I think people understand what a busy and hectic time it its. Two people commented to me that they did receive 2 thank you cards and they laughed about it and said they fest twice as special. Everyone loves being thanked and getting mail! Would something like that work for you?
I like missomally's tactic! I would rather receive 2 than none at all, and her message is cute and a very nice way of saying, "sorry I'm a scatterbrain and can't remember if I sent you a thank you or not!" My vote is to send 2 rather than none!
I would rather get 2 than none! If I got 2 I'd chalk it up to post wedding craziness!
especially if you say in the note that you would rather send two because you really love the gift, i think it is ok. or you could blame the post office!
Send 2. I've done that inadvertantly before and the person that received the second thank you was really pleased!
I'm on the 2 bandwagon. One of my friends got married last June, and I didn't get a thank you until FEBRUARY. I thought it was insane, but I was happy to finally get one.
definitelty better to send two!!
ancedotal story: my grandmom didnt talk to my cousin for 6 months a few years ago because he never sent a thank you note for a present he received. granted it wasnt a wedding gift-it was a birthday present. and my grandmom is admitedly crazy, but still.
@rachaelrobin: in my family (atleast with my aunt's), it's a HUGE deal if you don't send a thank you within a month. So whenever I get a gift, I immediately sit down and write it, address it. Too many calls about "did you get my gift?" but said in such a way that it clearly implies that I should write my thank you (and rightfully so). Oh and great spelling of your name :)
Absolutely send two... and the wording on... This might be your second note is just fine... It makes it seem like you are so thankful and excited to receive such a wonderful gift that you want to make sure that they are appropriately thanked!
I really think 2 is better than none at all...At least people will know you really care.
@beekiss thanks! i am the same way. it is actually something i am dreading about the wedding...what if they dont go out within the first two months!
ill prob write my grandmom's thank you note first though, just to make sure she has it early
i'd send two rather than none...but how many people are we talking? like 2? 10? 20? can you just call them and casually talk to them and feel it out?

Okay bees, I need some advice!
The hubs and I weren't as organized as we should have been when it comes to gifts recieved and thank-yous. We sent out a batch of thank-yous when we first got back from our honeymoon, and now we're doing a second batch for gifts recieved after we returned. Here's the problem- some of the people on our "no thank you sent" list we can't remember if we actually sent them thank-yous or not...
So here's my question: is worse to recieve 2 thank you cards or none at all? Are there any other solutions?
