OK, this is probably a very minor detail that I don't need to worry about, but etiquette has been the most stressful thing about wedding planning for me, and I really don't want people to think I am rude or gift grabby, etc. We are four weeks out from our wedding now (eek!) and have gotten a few generous gifts along the way, mostly from older friends and relatives. We have diligently been writing thank-you notes as the gifts come in, but now that crunch time is approaching, can we wait until after the wedding to send thank-you cards once we are, say, three weeks out?
One more question that is somewhat related: We are not having a shower but does it ever happen that someone sends a smaller, shower-like gift to the couple and then something else later? I'm just curious about this scenario; I am truly grateful for anything that people choose to give.
