[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed who gave gifts as we [b]had an excel spreadsheet of who invited to wedding and had a column for gift amounts. [/b]

We wrote thank you notes later. They ranged from one weird uncle gave $25 for low, next lowest a mad spinster at $75.a few $1,000 close family and one $5,000.

Let me put it this way the $5,000 one is getting generous gifts from me to her and her children and grandkids for life.

Mr. 25 not so much [/quote]

What purpose does the column for gift amounts serve?  Is it to keep track so that you can "pay them back" in the future?

Different poster, but I did the same thing. I already had an Excel list from my invites and seating chart. I didn’t have “amount” specifically but I did write down each gift so we could write the thank you notes. Our honeymoon was in New Zealand. We had pre-printed and stamped the envelopes for all guests and wrote a personal message in all of our thank you notes on the plane from the East coast to Los Angeles. We mailed them on our layover, less than 48 hours after the wedding. We thanked everyone, even if they didn’t give a gift, to thank them for coming to the wedding. When we got home, we used the list to make sure we deposited all of the checks. [/quote]
