Thank you cards before wedding

Hi Everyone!

My fiance and I are getting married next December, but have already received a few engagement gifts and will probably receive more gifts from various pre-wedding events (engagement party, bridal shower, etc). I want to get thank you cards, but am having trouble decided what type to get. I really like ones that have our first names and wedding date printed. Is it ok to send these before the wedding? Or is just a generic "Thank You" card better for pre-wedding gifts?

Thanks!

    Just get a generic TY card pack from whatever store.  That way you can use them for Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, change them up if you get bored of them, etc.  And if you've already gotten gifts, run out to the dollar store today and pick up a pack of cards quick because you should get those TY notes out as soon as you can.

    Go to Target or similar and just pick up a pack you like and get them out asap.

    1.  People really don't care what the card looks like.  They just want to be thanked in a timely manner.  I can't even tell you what the thank you card looked like the last three I received.

    2.  I'll assume these gifts are all from people who will be invited to/attending the wedding.  However, it's possible that in the upcoming months you might get gifts from others not invited (not from an event, but there are some people who just like to give a gift regardless and I know that co-workers will sometimes chip in and buy a gift, regardless of their invite status), so it could be a little weird to have a thank you card with your wedding date on it (also, heaven forbid something happen between now and then that requires you to change the date).

    I picked up a pack at Target earlier this week as my shower is in a few weeks.

    The card itself doesn't matter.  It's the content that matters.

    I would just get generic thank yous at this point.  I'd find it a little weird to get wedding thank yous before the wedding.  It's almost like jinxxing it, but that's just me.  Besides, you can use the generic thank yous for any time after the wedding, so it's not like you won't find a use for them at some point.
