Send it now! That way they know you received the gift and it is one less thank you that you will have to write after the wedding :)
It's fine to send it now, especially if you know they are not coming to the wedding.
I agree with the others. If you know they aren't going to be able to attend, send it now :)
How nice of them to send you something! you should send it as soon as you can : )
I say send it now just to have one less to write. I've dedicated Sundays as my day of Thank You writing so I'm not overwhelmed and have mommy dearest hounding me the second I get back from the honeymoon LOL. I see you're wedding isn't too far away anyhow 
, so it'll be okay. Good luck!
I have been wondering this, too.... we have been getting gifts that people are shipping to us from the registry, but the wedding isn't for 6 weeks. If they ARE coming to the wedding, should I send the thank you now, or wait until after the wedding?
Thanks :-)
Send the the thank you notes as you get the gifts, if you can, because it will make it seem like less of a...well...chore then if you have to do them all at once.
Make sure you keep records so that you know to whom you've sent the notes to.
My thing is to send a thank you as soon as you get a gift. If they're not coming to the wedding, go ahead and mail it early.
If they are coming to the wedding, I say write out the thank you and put it off to the side, after the wedding - send em all at the same time.
People who send gofts early will get thank you cards that are buch less cute.... I was planning to do photo cards with a photo from the wedding, but that's okay....Thank you for the advise!
Great advice, thanks! I need to get as many out of the way as possible.
Hmm... i hope it is ok because i've been doing it! lol
I figured it would be a good way to let them know that their shipments reached me (I've been sent some china and bakeware).
I sent all my thank yous out as soon as I got the gifts so that nothing would get lost in the shuffle and forgotten.
sending them right away has definitely served the purposes of (1) getting it off our plate for later (ok, who am i kidding, MY plate) and (2) letting people their presents arrived safe and sound.
what i have been doing is i have a drawer set aside for thank you card supplies -- cards that are pre-signed by both of us, the envelopes, stamps, return address stickers etc. each time we get a gift i take the receipt (they are mostly from the registries), copy down the sender's address onto one of the envelopes, and write it that evening. it helps that the cards are smaller sized -- i don't have much more than 3-4 sentences to write for most cards.

We received our first wedding gift, $100 gift card to BBB from a couple who will not be able to attend the wedding. Can I send them a thank you already, or should I wait until after the wedding?
