I've always heard that you're supposed to send thank you cards out within two weeks of a shower and within a month of a wedding, but what about wedding gifts that you receive before the wedding? We're 4 weeks out from our wedding and are already beginning to have gifts shipped to us. Should I send the thank yous out right away, or should I wait to send a thank you until after the wedding so that I can simultaneously thank them for coming to the wedding AND for the gift? Will I be considered rude for not sending out a thank you prior to the wedding? Will I need to send a separate thank you for the gift AND for their attendance at the wedding? Personally, I'd feel weird receiving two separate thank yous for the same function. I'm not sure how fussy people are, but I definitely don't want to offend anyone.
