...gifts, we noticed that a person who? gave us a check, wrote the wrong last name for us and didn't sign the check. She's a sorority sister of mine so she's no stranger, however, I do feel uncomfortable about telling her her mistake. My mother said she can handle it. I just think me telling her is kind of bad taste. What is the proper protocol for something like this?

WEll as they say honesty is the" best policy" besides how would you get to enjoy the gift if you can't even cash the check? Your friend is just human and we all make mistakes at point or another right? So yeah tell her what happened I'm sure she will understand and probably get a big kick out of it I know I would hahahh oooops!

Send the check back to her with a note. Say like, " thanks for the wonderful gift, we appreciate it. We didn't want to cause you problems at your bank so we've enclosed the check because of the mix-up with the names and signature." etc. etc.

My best friend just got married last week and we all did our own make- up and helped the bride. We used bare minerals.... it is awesome....it doesnt feel like you have anythign on at all and looks fabulous
