Poor etiquette to cash check before wedding?

I would wait.

ETA: I would wait because your wedding is on Saturday. Unless you've had them for over a month.

Only because your wedding is this very week I would say wait. BUT if it were any longer than 2 weeks I'd say go ahead and cash/deposit them because people typically get paid every 2 weeks so they probably budgeted accordingly and are expecting you to deposit/cash soon. But in this case I'd wait.

I wouldn't think anything of it if you cashed my check early. Once it's out of my checkbook, it's yours for the cashing whenever. I say go for it.

I'd cash them asap. People who try to balance their checkbooks will thank you!

Regardless of what you decide, I'd send a thank you card and cash the check 1 week from when you mail the card. They should have your thank you before they see you cash it.

I'm sure there is etiquette for this, I'm just unaware....

However, I think it depends on how long you've had the check. If you've had it for a few weeks, send a thank you card and then cash it. I wouldn't wait to send a thank you card until after the wedding for a gift I received before the wedding.

Lol this is why I give cash - so I don't forget about checks I've written!

I hate when people hold on to my check for too long. My caterer has had my check for a week now and i'm already getting annoyed. I say cash it. They gave it to you now for a reason. Did they post date it? E.T.A Send thank you card now and then cash it. I personally call my guests when i get gifts to say thank you and then FH sends a thank you card. I'm a caller, he is writer. So in my case i cash it right after i call.

I'd cash it (and send a thank you note) right away.

I would be frustrated to write a check and have it not come out of my account for a month. I don't think there's really any hurt to cash it. If they wrote it and sent it early they probably expected you to negotiate it.

If I had sent the check, I'd want it cashed right away so I didn't have to mentally subtract X amount of dollars from my account every time I look at the balance.

Also, you may be worried about it looking greedy, but some people (my mother) will purposefully send a check with the intent that the recipient (my cousins) has more cash on hand on their wedding day. She figures it's less stressful for them.

I hate waiting for a check to clear. It tricks me into thinking I have more than I do. Cash them puppies. Haha

I'd cash it - when I write checks I get impatient waiting for them to clear. If they gave it early I don't think it's rude to cash it early!

As someone who hates it when someone holds on to my check, I would cash it and send a thank you note. If I wrote a check, I'd want someone to cash it so it's one less thing for me to worry about.

Once they send the cheque out, they expect it to be cashed at any given time.

I would definitely wait!

I got a ton of checks already... I mailed a thank you card and since I have Chase I electronically deposited the day after mailing the thank you card... it's not greedy since they gave it to you already

I dont find it rude to wait, especially if you have had them for a bit. When I write checks, I expect/hope for them to be cashed relatively quickly

Cash it & send a thank you note! Don't stress about it!

I'd cash it also. I hate when checks take forever to clear

I always prefer when people cash checks from me immediately. It throws me off when a check takes a long time to be cashed.
