Cheque with RSVP... Thank you card now?

So we sent out our wedding invitations for our May wedding and have received a few replies so far. In the reply envelope from my Mom's cousin was also a cheque for $200. 
She is coming to the wedding (and I believe a shower in early April) so I am not really sure why she sent the monetary gift with her reply. 
Do I cash the cheque now and send a thank you? 

Do I send another Thank you card after the wedding to thank her for attending? 

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Just want to make sure I'm doing the "right" thing :)

    Yes, cash the check now and write her a thank you card.  Just don't spend the money until after you are married.

    Unless she gives you another gift at your wedding then you do not need to write her a thank you note for just attending.  You will have already thanked her for that at your reception.

    Yes, you always write a thank you card as soon as you get the gift. You'll likely get a lot of gifts in the last few weeks before the wedding.

    Cash the check now, but don't spend the money until after the wedding.

    Yes. Write TY notes as soon as you receive gifts.

    For check gifts, I wrote a thank you card and sent it out a few days before cashing the check.

    I didn't want the person thinking I took their money with no awknowledgement.
