thank-you note question

kimberlykh · January 2013

Thought we were done with these, right!?!

Well, I thought so too, but another wedding gift rolled in this weekend.

My cousin gave me a gift that she bought back in May, but forgot to bring it to the wedding. I've seen her a few times since then, and she told me about the gift, but kept forgetting to give it to me. Well, this weekend, she gave me three sets of our wine glasses that we registered for. They were also from my other two cousins (her brother and sister). I also realized that we had enough wine glasses, so I returned them all today.

So, my question is two parted: 1) when writing the TY note to my other two cousins should I mention that I JUST got it. And if so, what may be a polite way to do that without calling out their sister. I feel bad that they probably just think I never thanked them. 2) Since I returned it all, should I mention that? Or, just say thanks for the glasses and leave it at that?

TIA!

Don't mention that you returned them!! And I wouldn't say anything about just getting them I would just write the note and if they ask you later on then you could tell them you got them later or they can ask their sister themselves. Just keep it simple since it is so late.

Kind of a tough situation- here's my 2 cents

1) I would not mention that you JUST got the gift, I would just write the thank you note as normal- chances are, she told her siblings about it. If they were to ask why you were so late, then I guess you could mention it then?

2) Definitely don't tell them you returned the glasses- just thank them for the thoughtful gift and leave it at that.

As a side note, it's kind of ironic to give you a bunch of wine glasses when you're pregnant... LOL

Thanks, that makes sense. I think I worded my original post wrong. I wouldn't actually consider putting that I returned them all. But, I usually say something like, "we can't wait to use (insert gift)" or "it'll look great in our hallway" or something like that. So, I guess it feels weird just writing thank-you for the glasses without anything else, but that's what I'll do.
