When to send Thank Yous??? Getting registry gifts now!

Have the gifts been delivered or just marked as purchased on the registry? Send a thank you after they are delivered, even if it's before the wedding. Most people only send thank yous after the wedding to those would brought/sent a gift; you don't need to send one just to thank someone for coming. (In some etiquette books doing that is actually a "no-no," because if they didn't bring/send a gift it might be interpreted as awkward....)

View Quoted Comment One gift has been delivered but not the other two. Thank you!

You send a thank you card immediately after any gift is received. You do not send thank you cards to people for coming to your wedding g. Guests thank hosts for providing parties and foods and celebrations . Their gifts, fulfill this requirement. ( Those who give no gifts owe You a written thank you note .)
Hosts don't thank guests. You will send thank you cards for every gift you receive, shower or wedding, when you get it. And write a thank you for any special service or thing done for you. To any shower or RD hostess, to any parent or relative who helped finance your wedding , and to each of your attendants. And for anything special, like a friend who picks up multiple people at airports, or helps set up for the wedding, or picks up packages , or checks on your house while you are honeymooning. Believe me, that is enough. We wrote well over the 200 thank you cards that were given to us by 2 relatives ( along with 300 stamps) at engagement time, and had to buy more of each. Some people got 3-4 cards over 5 months time. That is more than enough .

You should send a thank you card whenever you receive a gift. If it's just marked as purchased, wait until you receive it. You also don't need to write thank you cards for attending the wedding. The reception is your "thank you" for attending the ceremony. Thank you cards are for gifts, not their attendance.

Agreed - send the thank you's once you get the gift. If it's before the wedding and they've RSVP'd, you can include a sentence to the effect of "we look forward to celebrating with you at the wedding!".

Send a thank you as soon as you actually receive the gift. If you just see that they're purchased but you haven't gotten them yet, then don't do anything.

View Quoted Comment So, one of the 'gifts' purchased was actually a day at a resort on our honeymoon, therefore, we wont actually receive it until after our honeymoon. So do I send a thank you now or after honeymoon?

View Quoted Comment What if the gift is an 'extra'for our honeymoon? For example, one thing purchased off our registry was a day at a resort during our honeymoon. Send thank you now or after honeymoon?

View Quoted Comment Several of our items on our registry are not physical gifts. For instance, one item purchased is a day at a resort for us to use on our honeymoon. Should I send thank you now or after we have used the gift?

View Quoted Comment I'd still send a thank you now while it's fresh in your mind. You could always send a photo or text later mentioning that you enjoyed the day

View Quoted Comment This is best

View Quoted Comment Perfect thank you both!

I think as soon as you get them. Plus it will make the thank you note sending less stressful if you send them out as you get the gifts instead of all thank yous at once

Oooh ok -then I would send a thank you now for that one!

I have been sending my thank you cards out as soon as we get the gift.
