    Two questions.

    Are thank you postcards ok, rather than thank you cards? It would save a little on stamps, but I don't want to be rude.

     

    Today we received a wedding gift. Our wedding is one month away. The family who sent us the gift hasn't RSVPed yet... Should I send the thank you card now, or wait until after the wedding? Wasn't sure what would be best, especially since I don't know if they are coming or not yet! I would think if they come that I'd want to thank them for the gift AND for coming to our wedding! But I'm also impatient and want to thank them now :D lol

    I'm thinking of doing Thank You postcards as well.  I'm going to wait until after my wedding.  Our postcards will feature a wedding photo of us.  I just purchased some chabby chic Thank You signs, we might do something like the photo below.  I found the photo on bridalbuds.com. 

    We will write a personalized note on the back.  This will double not only as a thank you card, but they will be able to keep a photo of us if they want.

    i have always heard the rule is 3 months to send thank you cards.  so in your case, since your wedding is a month away, i think you are safe to wait.

    i had one person send us a gift (or rather purchase something from our online honeymoon registry) about 5 months before the wedding.  she did this at the same time she RSVP'd on our website.  so i replied to her RSVP (she is not coming) and thanked her for gift at the same time. i also told her we'd send her pics. so when we get pics, i will send her one with a formal thank you card - which will end up being about 6 months after the gift!
