Gifts will slowly start trickling in - at an increased rate - so better to send TY cards as soon as you receive a gift than wait to send everyone their TY cards after you return from your honeymoon. </p> <p>It's to your descretion whether or not you use it right away. As a happy median for ur FH, don't use it until after you've tied the knot.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/getting-gifts-before-the-wedding#post-61018 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 19:52:47 +0000 hisprincess 61018@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>We are opening the gifts but putting them in a closet and aren't using any of the wedding gifts until after the wedding.&nbsp; Its killing me though because we have gotten tons of great stuff already.&nbsp; </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/getting-gifts-before-the-wedding#post-56253 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:58:44 +0000 glittergrl 56253@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>i was having the same problem. i've been told to send a thank you.</p> <p>i feel weird using the gift though since we haven't gotten married yet and we are planning on moving to a new place after the wedding.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/getting-gifts-before-the-wedding#post-56228 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 23:42:55 +0000 MissStargazerLily 56228@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Open it and send a thank you card. Otherwise they might wonder if you've even received it or that you weren't appreciative! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/getting-gifts-before-the-wedding#post-56221 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 23:22:49 +0000 MrsSunflower 56221@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hey my Bee gals,</p> <p>I am hoping you can solve a dilema btwen Mr. Sunflower and me. We have gotten our first gifts and they were sent to us before the wedding. Mr. S is saying to wait to open them after our wedding (which is in 3 mos). I am saying we should open them so we can send a TY card, but wait to use them after our wedding.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>What is your ide/thoughts on this? What will you do when you get your first gifts before the wedding??&nbsp;</p>
