Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
yep.
Our son's "gift basket" for cards was stolen, at a CHURCH reception. Advise wedding "planners" to keep the gift area manned at all times.
The tragic thing is, my son and wife had no idea WHOSE wedding cards were stolen (along with gift cards, cash, etc.). So no way to send thank yous. I imagine there are people out there who think they are quite rude not to have thanked them.
At least with a check as a gift, it would never have been cashed and might tip off the giver to a theft.
I would suggest that a simple "thank you" card would be sent to each couple/guest, saying "thank you for attending. Unfortunately, for those that graciously brought a card and placed it in the card box, the box was stolen during the reception, and we have no way of knowing who placed a card in the box."
