I have a mildly unique situation, bees!

My fiance and I are an international couple, and I'm finally (we've got a loooong story of our immigration troubles this isn't the post for) moving there on Sunday. So far I've had two different meetings the other party basically insisted on and at both they gave me cards (addressed to both of us) with $100 inside.

We haven't asked for any money or even done a registry but it's definitely defintiely appreciated as we're trying to keep our weddding and first place together as low budget as possible.

My question is should I wait to write thank you notes for the cash until the wedding is closer or should I write them with him as soon as I'm settled over there?

I think writing thank you notes are never sent too soon, but if these people also attend your wedding, I would send them a separate note to thank them for joining you and thank them again for the money they previously gave (assuming that is your wedding gift from them). That being said, if you want to wait and write one thank you car, I don't think they'd be offended to get it in November.

I would say send 2 thank-you cards (assuming they attend the wedding.) I was in a similar situation, except with an actual gift instead of money, but it never hurts to "over-thank!" Good luck with the move!
