Thank you notes when gifts arrive or after wedding?

In not sure of the official etiquette on this, but nobody would know if you used the gift and I think it would be okay to send a thank you right away. That would show you received the gift and give your a slight advantage to after the wedding

Etiquettely speaking, I don't think it matters. Whichever you prefer to do will be fine.

You should send thank you notes ASAP after receiving gifts, otherwise the sender won’t know you received it. If they didn’t want you to have or use the gift until after the wedding, they would wait to send it.

I would send a thank you ASAP after getting a gift from someone.

I sent mine right away. It took some debating but the majority of what I read was to send them right away. We still haven’t opened some gifts, only opened them if they were from immediate family. While I have no doubt my FH and will get married there’s still a lot of things that could happen 43 days to possibly delay and I wouldn’t be able to return or replace the gifts. That’s just me though, I always think of the worst possible outcome lol. Also sending thank yous now makes it so they won’t pile up after the wedding.

Send a thank you right away! We opened and put away all of our gifts as they arrived. We got everything off our 3 registries before the wedding so if we would’ve waited to open everything we wouldn’t have been able to walk in our house haha.

We've been sending them as they arrived, it honestly just makes it easy to keep track of. It also lets the sending know you received the gift.

I don’t think it matters people suggest to do it before hand that way it’s less work for you after the wedding you can also write them as they come and mail them all together at the end.

I'm not sure of the etiquette but I would send the thank you as soon as possible. (less to do after the wedding when you get most gifts). and like others have said, then the sender knows it was received.

How would someone know when you ACTUALLY received it? even if you received via traceable mail, you don't have to open the mail until whenever you have fine. I wouldn't dwell on this. When you have the time, send them out.

A thank-you note should be sent as soon as possible after the receipt of a gift. Within a day or two.

I think right away would be best. Certainly doesn't hurt to be proactive and get some of that stuff done before the wedding! Also as the sender, it's also nice to know the gift was received.
