Bridal registries have made it easy to select a gift that you know the couple will enjoy. Receiving wedding gifts is one of the very pleasant parts of getting married. Almost every couple can fondly remember the time when the party was over and they sat together, perhaps with very close friends or family, and opened their gifts. Sometimes, however, the process goes awry…

The Wedding Guru says: You’re in an awkward position, but in this case, there is no easy way to approach the problem. Tell the person in question that you’re concerned that their gift has not arrived. If you receive confirmation that it was mailed, then (politely) ask if they could track the gift with whatever conveyance they chose to inquire about delivery. Explain that you are sorry for any inconvenience and ask to be called with the results.
