Rolling thank-you cards or all at once after an event?

I have a related question, if you don't mind.  We weren't planning on using any gifts before the wedding.  I don't know if that's an etiquette thing or not, but I would feel weird about it.  So, if we're writing thank you notes for any gifts that arrive before the wedding, should we write something about how we plan to use it?

Waiting to use gifts until after the wedding is indeed an etiquette thing. But in the thank you note, it is perfectly appropriate to say "Thank you for the blender, we'll think of you every time we have smoothies this summer!"


This. We got a wedding gift of our good china serving dishes. I wrote the note and said how much I looked forward to using the platter and bowls at our first special event dinner in our marriage. But we didn't use them until after the wedding.

Thanks.  I thought it was against etiquette, but didn't want to say for certain since I wasn't sure.  I tend to over think thank you notes, so thanks for the direction.

That would be gracious and appropriate.
