Gifts before the wedding

I was wondering if someone could help me out with proper wedding etiquette. I recently received 2 wedding cards in the mail with a checks, from people that have RSVPd yes to my August 24th wedding. Do I cash the checks and send a thank you now, or wait until after the wedding? I don't want to seem like I am neglecting to send a note by waiting too long, but I also don't feel right taking money before the wedding takes place. Thoughts?

    Cash the check now, and send a thank you note now.  Just don't use the money until after your wedding!

    we set up our joint account after we got engaged so any pre-wedding money was able to be deposited into an account we were not using + used it as our own savings we each deposited to as well.  We did not activate the account for withdrawl until after the wedding.

    This. All of this.

    Plus, the more thank-you notes you get done before the wedding, the happier you'll be.
