Early wedding gifts

cmkuno

I know the general rule is that when you get an early wedding gift, you go ahead and send a thank you card right away.  

But yesterday I got a card addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. FI's last name."  These people were invited to the wedding (they can't make it), so they know we're not married yet.  Does addressing the card this way indicate that I'm not supposed to open it until we're married?  Or should I go ahead and open it now, cash the check if there's one inside, and send a thank you note pre-wedding?

Open it up and send a thank you off!  It will be one less to worry about after the wedding and trust me you will appreciate that.

Open it and send the thank you - after the wedding you will have sooo many thank yous to write having one less will be a good thing.

Yes, I would say open it now and send a thank you so that they know you got it.

I opened one envelope addressed to Mr. & Mrs. and the check inside was dated for the wedding date...thus I couldn't deposit it until after the wedding anyway.  So, I personally chose to open all envelopes sent to us after the wedding with all of the rest of the presents.
