Thank-you notes for mailed gifts?

Celestia, on February 1, 2017 at 3:31 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10

I'm getting married in my home state, but most of my friends and family live out of state, even my maid of honor. Some of my out-of-state family have been invited to my bridal shower, so I'm receiving both bridal shower and wedding gifts in the mail. When should I open these gifts? Should I send thank-you notes immediately so they know I got their package?

Thanks!

    I would definitely send thank you notes right away. How do you know whether they were intended for the shower or the wedding? IMO if they are sending them this early they would be shower gifts, but either way I'd send a thank you asap.

    I sent mine as soon as I got them, that way I had less to write after the shower!

    Yes, I would send them a Thank You right away. That way they know you got it, for one, and also so you can keep on top of the writing and don't get behind with the more gifts that you may receive.

    I've started receiving some and we open them as they come. I plan on sending the thank you's soon.

    We just got a gift on Monday and I plan on sending a thank you card by the end of the week.

    Yes and send the thank you'd as soon as you can! Otherwise they might think their package didn't get delivered!

    Yes, open them and send thank you notes right away. You are supposed to send thank you notes immediately for any gift received before the wedding. Otherwise, some of these gift givers would be twiddling their thumbs for the next two months (assuming you sent thank you cards immediately after your wedding) before their gifts were acknowledged.

    I opened all gifts immediately upon receiving them and sent out thank you notes. We did not take anything out of the box or use anything until after the wedding.
