Thank You Card Predicament

Ok so to make a long story short, DH and I are stupid...
after the wedding here, we had another little party back home for people who couldn't make it. Well that was the day before the honeymoon, so we went home, opened the cards, and took out the money to bring with us, and never wrote down who gave what. The problem is, we got a card from friends of my aunt, and she asked if they gave us anything and I said I thought so (couldn't remember at the time, but I was pretty sure), and she seemed surprised. Well now that we are about to do our TY cards, I can't even find their card and am starting to wonder if they did give us anything? I mean, I was pretty certain that they atleast gave a card, and also pretty certain that they gave money because we counted it and without adding anythign from them we would come up short.

But now I don't know what to do since I can't even find their card! What if I was mistaken and they didn't give us anything? If I send a ty card it will be weird. On the other hand, it would be rude if they did give us something and we didn't send a card.
What do we do?

Re: Thank You Card Predicament

Oh thatsa predicament-this happened to us with one guest too. What i did was sent them a ty card anyway and just amde it very general; like 'Thank you so much for sharing our day with us and we're thrilled that you helped us make it exactly the kind of day we wanted; one filled with family and friends to wish us well and help celebrate our great love. Thanks for everything. take care.'

That way if they remember they didnt send u a gift they will send one if they do the right thing and you both save face. Better for you to lose a few bucks on the card than to have gotten somethign you both forgot about lol and not sent a ty.

Re: Thank You Card Predicament

Uh Oh!
The only thing I can think to do is send them a thank you card and say something vague like...It was so nice of you to join us while we celebrated our special day.
Dont mention a gift at all and you can just sound neutral and safe!
