Our wedding speech credited one aunt for a group gift. How do we put it right?
Weddings"Glad Auntie Jo's mixer survived all our bank transfers," my cousin messaged the morning after the wedding. That was how I learnt eight people had bought it together.
We'd thanked Jo by name in our speech. She'd organised the collection and brought the box; the group card was still under its packing foam when we wrote our notes. She hadn't claimed to pay for it all.
A video of our thanks is now in the family chat. My partner wants to reply with all eight names and a big apology. I'm worried about embarrassing Jo. My cousin says, "No drama, just don't send all the thank-you cards to her."
The group card is now beside a stack of blank thank-you cards. I want everybody acknowledged without making Jo sound as though she took credit on purpose.
