wedding gifts

After receiving gifts for a shower, or an early wedding gift, how long should I wait until it's okay to use? After the wedding? Thanks.

Yes, after the wedding.

I'm really interested to see other responses to this question as I would have thought it would be perfectly acceptable to use shower gifts before the wedding.

Shower gifts are still in honor of you getting married. If you don't get married, they should be returned.

After the wedding. If for any reason the wedding gets cancelled you will need to return all gifts.

You should wait until after the wedding unless you're prepared to replace the gifts.  In the event that the wedding doesn't take place (which none of us want to think about but things happen - fights, car accidents, etc.) all gifts should be returned.  Because of that some people also believe it's sort of bad luck to use anything before.
