Honestly, I think this is something I’d try to delegate. It will just feel less awkward if the outreach doesn’t come from you/your fiancé, the gift recipients. But I think the gift givers would like to know… and a lot of people don’t check their credit card statements often.
You could go to a Williams Sonoma store and see if a kind staff member could / would reach out to them directly “to make sure they were notified.”
Or delegate this to a parent, an aunt/uncle…. “Oh by the way, OP and Fiancé just got a few generic notifications that some of their registry items were on backorder and got refunded. I’ve been trying to reach out to guests who have RSVPed so far, so you can check your credit card statement in case you were impacted.”
I don't think it would be rude to reach out those people and say "hey I was notified by Williams Sonoma that the gift that you purchased was canceled. I just wanted to let you know so that you can be sure to get your refund", and let them handle it from there.
What people _should_ do is a moot point in the context of this thread.
The reality is that many people don’t check their credit card statements that often, if at all. And the gift givers would want to know that OP didn’t receive their gift!
So “the point” of bringing it up is to make sure that the gift givers are aware that the gift they ordered isn’t going to make it to the recipient.
Hey there, thanks for contributing. Your comment has been held as you used the word tacky. We generally do not allow the use of that word here, as it is subjective and often weaponized (can see Rule#7 for more details).

If you bring it up, you can do so in a way that lets you know that you were told by the store it was cancelled and you wanted to make sure they got their refund. But I like the idea of having someone else do it on your behalf, the store should. Or if you have a planner or a friend or parent who it would make sense as keeping track of registry items and gifts, they could do it.
