When my DS applied ED, we included self addressed postcards to each component of the application Example, teachers/peer recommendation: included the postcard together with the form (top part filled) and the stamped envelope for the teacher to mail it directly to Dartmouth. The same for the common applications, we included a postcard.
When the postcards came back, we know exactly when the item was received.
It is not necessary to include the postcards but it was worth the piece of mind.

The admissions office do contact the applicant if any of the component is missing. A friend received a letter telling him that Dartmouth had not received his peer recommendations and to ask his peer to mail it in.
