When do you send thank you's for gifts you receive before a shower?

Rachel, on May 14, 2018 at 11:44 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 4

My mom, MOH and FMIL are throwing a couple's shower for FH and I in June. We have had a few gifts arrive at our place already! Some of them are wrapped but most of them are not.

Should we send out thank you cards for the gifts that have arrived unwrapped or wait until the shower? We were thinking of sending a quick thank you text or call now and doing the formal card after the shower.

For the gifts that are gift-wrapped, we should just open them, right? I mean, if our guests wanted us to open them at the shower, they would bring them to the shower, right? I would feel weird bringing the gifts to the shower to show them off and then just bring them back.

    For any gifts, wrapped or unwrapped, that you receive directly at your home, open the gift and send the thank you card right away. The giver of the gift will want to know that you got it. This goes for shower gifts received before the shower, and wedding gifts received before the wedding, too.

    No need to bring them to the shower to show them off.

    Send out the TY card right away, there's no point till waiting after the shower. Get them over and done with ASAP.

    Open it right away and send the thank you right away. People start wondering if you’ve received it if they haven’t heard anything after awhile.

    Thanks for the advice! sounds like a good plan. I had started filling out cards but hadn't sent them yet. Thankfully the gifts just arrived so I think we are still good. FH and I will start sending the thank you's!
