Happy Thanksgiving!
 So as I sit here at work, yup at work, procrastinating...
What is the etiquette about recieving gifts in the mail and when to open them. Some people were suprised that I opened them already.
Do you wait till your gift opening to open them?
Do you send out Thank You notes then right away or do you wait?
 Not sure what to do or what the etiquette is.

    Open them right away to make sure they aren't damaged.  But don't use them until the wedding.  Technically, if something (god forbid) were to happen and the wedding was canceled, you are supposed to return the gifts.  So if you can afford to replace the gift and return it, you could use them before the wedding.

    I *think* you can wait until a month after the wedding to send a TY, but honestly? Do it right away, and it's one less to worry about later! People will appreciate this, too, because they'll know you received the gift.

    Open right away, don't use until after the wedding, and write your TY right away. Honestly, this is embarrassing, but we still haven't gotten all of our TY notes out. We moved right before the wedding and both started new jobs as we moved in, but we have no excuse. Just do them now!
