    Today I received a gift (actually, a few small gifts) from someone off of our registry. The thing is, I've already received a shower gift from this person (at least I thought it was a shower gift, as it was sent about a week after my shower invites went out). Should I consider this a wedding gift? We sent invites out 2 weeks ago, but our wedding isn't until September.

    I'm asking for a somewhat stupid reason, but I have specific thank you notes for the shower (which she already got) and for the wedding. Should I send her a wedding thank you note now for this gift (it doesn't have our new last name on it)? Or a completely different thank you note now and send her the wedding thank you note after the wedding (thanking her for coming)? I don't want to send her a thank you on the same notecard twice.

    I think I just rambled incoherently about thank you notes...

    I got a wedding present from my aunt and uncle before I even sent out the invites. They also got me a shower gift. Some people are just really ahead of the game. And if you're questioning it, just send her a thank you note for the gift and don't mention "wedding gift" so that if it's not that, then you don't make that mistake. Be sure to mark it down on your wedding gift list so then if you don't get something more from her closer to the wedding, then you'll know that it indeed was a wedding present.

    they are probably the wedding gifts. some people send wedding gifts off the registry to avoid bringing them to the wedding (actually preferred way for most). i would just send a thank you card for the gifts. should she come bearing other gifts on the wedding day, then you can always send her another card. :)

    Thanks! I'll probably send a wedding thank you now then. It's a destination wedding for us, so people aren't bringing gifts (rather, aren't *supposed* to bring gifts) to the reception.

    Maybe just send a plain thank you note. Not wedding or bridal shower. It would a good way to say thank you, with out the confussion.

    Send her the wedding thank you. At my shower I recieved two presents from quite a few people, one for the shower and one for the wedding.  I sent out different thank yous for each.
