Thank you card question.

Nichole, on May 9, 2022 at 4:05 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9
We just got our first gift from our registry in the mail today (guests have the option to ship it directly to our house). That is super exciting! My question is our wedding isn't until September 24, 2022, do I send the thank you card now/as I receive gifts if more come in the mail or do I wait until after the wedding and send them all at the same time?

    Always send thank you cards ASAP. This way guests will know you recieved their gift, and you'll have less to do after your wedding.

    Ok I was leaning that way but wanted to see what the protocol was for that. Thank you!

    I would send thank you notes as you receive the gifts. That gives reassurance to the sender that your gift was received, and they will be happy to be promptly thanked for it. You'd also get the notes done and out of the way, so you would have less to do after the wedding.

    Definitely do it now. Otherwise you may forget, and leaving them waiting 5+ months for a thank you would be pretty rude.

    Always send thank you cards asap. It lets the sender know you received them. However don’t open and use anything until after the wedding.

    Yea I opened the box because I was trying to figure out what I ordered from amazon this time and forgot about lol. But all the gifts are still in their wrappings and I will be starting a tote to store it all as it shows up. Thankfully there was a little card buried at the bottom of the box telling me who it was from.

    How exciting! Yes, send thank you now! Stay on top of them! I have yet to receive a thank you for both bridal shower & wedding from April & Dec 2021 respectively from the same bride…even after mentioning it to mother of groom!

    Definitely agree with all PPs - send now 🙂 With everything going on, you’ll forget later. Guests like it too. I even got a compliment from someone for doing it now. They were like “wow that was really nice! I’ve never gotten a thank you note before the wedding happened! 😂”
