Quick wedding etiquette question

GJones27

Hey girls!  I'm in the library at law school studying away, but I have a question about a wedding I'm going to this weekend.  About five weeks ago, I bought the bride and groom a gift (something from their honeymoon registry), and I haven't received a thank you card.  I don't know if it's because they have just been busy with their wedding planning, but isn't there usually a two week rule to send thank you notes?  At what point should I be worried that they didn't receive it?  On the one hand, I don't what them to think I didn't provide a gift, but on the other hand, I don't want to ask too early, "Did you receive the gift?" and they reply, "Yeah, sorry we haven't gotten around to thanking you..."

Otherwise, how are things here?  I'm doing well, just a bit stressed studying constantly and trying to figure out law school.  :-)

I wouldn't expect a thank you note until after the wedding

Emily Post says 3 months. 

Or it could have gotten lost in the mail.  Half a dozen of our invitations never made it.  Yesterday we had a thank you note returned to us, and we'd mailed it over a month ago.

I don't think they would send a thank you note before the wedding...

Thanks for the thoughts.  I have an email confirmation that the gift went through.  They aren't going on their honeymoon until May 2012, so I don't think they're waiting for that, either.  We'll see...

Yea, 2 weeks would be realllllly hard to do, esp if they are busy with planning. I didn't send any thank you notes for gifts we got before the wedding until after the wedding.

Hi!  Glad you haven't forgotten about us yet.  

I can't remember if we got any gifts prior to the wedding but I probably wouldn't have sent the thank you notes until after the wedding when we sent the rest of them.

Sorry that you are feeling stressed.  It seems like it has been quiet around here lately but maybe that's just my perception.  Anyway, you are missed and hope you are enjoying married life now that you and DH are together!

Personally, I'd send all thank you notes after the wedding.
