We are a month out from our wedding and starting to receive gifts. We were originally planning to set all the gifts aside and open them all at the gift opening. Now I am starting to second guess this decision. Do we open the gifts right away so that we can send out the thank you? I have designed photo thank you cards, but will need a few pictures from the wedding day to complete this project. This is why we wanted to wait to open the gifts and send thank yous. However, is it rude to wait? Will people think we are being lazy by not sending a thank you right away or will most people assume that we are opening their gift at the gift opening? I will have all of the thank yous out the week after the wedding anyways - so still within the realm of a timely thank you. Thoughts??
