I wrote a thank you card immediately, but it was just a normal Hallmark thank you card. I told them that I'd be waiting until FH arrived to open the gift, but I wanted them to know that it was received. After the wedding, I sent them a proper thank you card with our photo. What's one more stamp and 5 minutes of your time? If the gift was hand delivered, and there was no doubt that it was received, you could probably hold off on sending the card until after the wedding, but if it was me, I'd send one now anyway.Sun, 30 Apr 2006 05:40:50 GMTGermanyRE: Early Gifts - when to send a Thank You?http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic26949-6-1.aspxEtiquette says you open gifts you recieve early when they arrive. You would also then send the thank you early. After the wedding you would likely send them another thank you for attending the wedding itself and sharing in your special day.Sat, 29 Apr 2006 09:33:07 GMTScotBrideRE: Early Gifts - when to send a Thank You?http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic26949-6-1.aspxI would write it out now, to save myself from having to write them all at once, and mail it after the wedding with the rest of the thank yous. I would also hold off on cashing the cheque until after the wedding.Fri, 28 Apr 2006 21:52:11 GMTColeKRE: Early Gifts - when to send a Thank You?http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic26949-6-1.aspxI would send a thank you, since etiquete wise you should send it within the month of recieving the present. I don't know about a cheque, I would wait until after the wedding, since you never know what might happen right? Not wishing you bad omens or anything like that, I'm just saying, natural disasters have to happen, and it is during someone's wedding, right?Fri, 28 Apr 2006 20:35:26 GMTheather972Early Gifts - when to send a Thank You?http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic26949-6-1.aspxOur wedding is a month away but we received two gifts this week...
