I received a gift from someone not invited to my baby shower.
I received a gift in the mail from someone who I didn't invite to my baby shower.
I feel bad. I was invited to her baby shower when she had hers, but I was asked to limit my guest list to 35 people. She's a long time friend of dh's, and I felt bad leaving her off of my invite list, but I come from a very large family.
I will send her a thank you, but do I even bring up the fact that she wasn't invited..I know she knew about the shower as she's friends with dh's best friend's wife. Should I tell her why she wasn't on the list..I'm at a loss and that's rare for me.
One of the many dramas I'm dealing with regarding my shower. That's for another post.

You will probably get even more gifts from other people not invited to your shower. I wouldnt stress too much about it.
I would just send a thank you and not mention anything about the shower. I am sure she understands and if she didnt, then she would not of sent a gift.

ITA!
I got several gifts from people not invited to my shower - one that I was totally surprised by... someone that I really like, enough that I would have invited her (as opposed to getting a gift from one of my mother's friends) except that I also had to keep my list down and I didn't want to appear as if I was begging for gifts, because it's not like we see each other all that often.
I wouldn't mention her not being invited to the shower in the thank you. Maybe discuss it in person if you feel you have to but I don't think it's necessary.

I would send a thank you card and that's it. If you happen to see this person, then you can explain why she wasn't invited.

I deliberately didn't invite a specific person to my shower, and then she went ahead and bought the second most expensive item on my registry, together with another $100 item!
I just sent a regular thank-you.

I would feel bad also. But she didnt have to get you a gift and she did so I guess she isnt bothered by it. Maybe mention something about how you had to have a small list in the thank you.
