Question about thank-you note etiquette... I've heard several conflicting things on this subject. Obviously several people will probably send gifts in the mail prior to the wedding- we registered at Williams Sonoma and they send gifts all wrapped in nice paper even within the regular brown package they are mailed in (not sure if this is the norm, thought I'd mention in case it's not), and personally I think it would be fun to wait to unwrap them until after the wedding, for more of a surprise/special feeling of not actually knowing what they are until we're really married... plus the fact that I know we're not technically supposed to use anything until after the wedding, so I'd just as soon not know what it is until then. BUT I don't know if I need to unwrap them as they are received in order to send the thank-you notes ASAP (like before the actual wedding). What did you ladies do?
