When you mail your wedding invitations, set up a card file of the guests’ names and addresses so you are ready to record their replies and keep a record of their gifts as they come in. The best way to do this is with one note cards and a file box. Make out 3-by-5-ich card for each guest and file it alphabetically. As the guests reply to the wedding invitations, note their acceptance or regrets on their cards. When a gift arrives, pull out the card of the guest who sent it and note in detail what the gift is and the store from which it was sent it and note in detail what the gift is and the store from which it was sent, in case you find you must return it. As you write a thank-you note, make a notation on the card, along with the date the note was written. Whatever you do, don’t leave this organization to the last minute, or you may never know who sent what gift and who has responded to your wedding invitations.
