So what's the view on when to open presents and send thank you notes? Some gifts arrived wrapped, some not. Do we open as we get them, wait? Send notes after the wedding so we know if they came? send thanks you as we get things so prople know they came?

Wrote all cards after the wedding so we could write details about the wedding too opened presents as we received them

We opened them as they came, otherwise there would be just piles of boxes full of useful items

We included lines in the post wedding thank you cards

Make sure to keep track because it can get confusing

So you didn't write thank you notes as you received the gifts?

Opened as we received to save space, thanked sender and made a list of items and who sent. After the wedding we sent a thank you card with photos from the wedding as a keepsake to guests and further thanked those who gave gifts.

You want to acknowledge as you receive so sender is not worried that it got lost......
