Early Gifts...Open?

Good Morning everyone,

I am getting married on October 22, but yesterday I received my first gift from some relatives that live in another state.  I have two questions here: do I wait to open it or open it right away?  I know this person will not be attending the shower. 

If I do open it right away when do I send the thank you note?  Do I send it right away or wait until the shower or wedding?  My instinct is to send it immediately so I can acknowldege that I received the gift and appreciate it. 

Any advice would be great!
