  You should open them now (but don't use them until after the wedding) and send thank you notes as you receive presents.

  You should open the gift and send a thank you card immediately. I wouldn't use the gift until after the wedding though (just in case you end up needing to return it).

  I think you should open them now and send a thank you note so the sender knows you received it, plus it's exciting...HOWEVER...my lovely mother decided that if it's meant to be a shower preset you shouldn't open it until the shower!  So she gets to them before I can (since I have them sent to her house for safety) and she hides them from me!!
