Tips for Bridal Thank Yous
Thank you cards for gifts received before the wedding
Sometimes, even if an individual responds "No" to your affair, he or she will still send along a gift. Often it is a monetary present in the form of a check. Remember that the person can see when you cash or deposit the check, so they will know if you received it and they will know that you did not send a thank you immediately. It is not proper etiquette to keep these guests waiting until after your wedding to receive a thank you card.
As soon as the gift is received, a thank you should promptly be sent to the giver. Additionally, once your photographs come back and you select one for your thank you cards, the person should also receive this formal thank you.
