Gift Etiquette

We are just over 5 weeks until the big day (yikes!) and we've already started getting material gifts and monetary gifts. While it's wonderful people are being so generous and punctual, I have a multi-part question regarding these gifts: 1.When is it appropriate to cash checks sent to us? Right away or wait until after the wedding? and 2. When should we send thank-yous for the early gifts (both material and monetary)? Right away or after the wedding? Thanks for all your help!

Re: Gift Etiquette

  • 1. Go ahead and cash the check now.  Open the material gifts just to make sure nothing is broken.  However, don't use any of the items.

    2. Send a thank you immediately so that they know you received it.  Plus, it will help you later on to already have some thank yous done.

    Good luck on the wedding!
  • Yep, PP is correct!!
