Gifts
Let me preface this post by saying whenever I actually get a gift I'm in complete and utter shock. I just really don't expect them, and no I didn't expect any for our semi-destination wedding, even though we clearly registered for some gifts. I thought it was nice enough people would be flying or driving in for the wedding. I have been pleasantly surprised and there's still 82 days away! Well guess what landed on our doorstep on Friday? And by "our doorstep" I mean the Condo office's doorstep from which I lugged a very big box while trying to walk my dog in the Phoenician 97 degree heat.
Seriously Bed, Bath and Beyond does some amazing things with their gift wrap- how adorable is that package? I almost don't want to rip it open....
But we did! And now it's time for the great debate, send the thank you now or send it after the wedding? A quick twitter poll revealed I should send them now.
So it's off to craft my first Thank You Card! What's your stance are you a now or a later?

Heehee, my Tweet is famous!
Might as well do it now if you have the time and the stationery. :) Just make sure you have a system for remember who you sent a thank you to so you don't leave anyone out or send someone two!
@A.Marigold YOU are famous!
@Amberdawn Actually I was going to do a blog about this later, but we're doing two thank you notes. I really love an excuse for thank yous, and we're having an intimate wedding of 60, so we're sending out gift-specific TYs as they come and sending out a second one post-wedding just thanking everyone for coming and making our day magical.
Wow, I know, I'm lame.
i agree, now is better than later! and i like the idea of two cards. can't wait to see what you come up with!
I'm a big fan of get it out asap. Sitting down & writing out a bunch of TY's isn't fun. My Mom made me do it all the time when I was a kid. Booo.
Off topic: Can I ask why you chose that toaster oven in particular? We desperately nee a new one & the one we registered for isn't available online so I'm thinking we have to get another one.
I like your post. It is interesting.
