Most people have a table at the reception for people to leave presents on, then the next day you could have a gift opening and invite your wedding guests. Or else you could wait til you get back from your honeymoon and open them privately.  Some people mail their gift ahead of the wedding, in that case you can just open them as you get them.  Don't forget to send thank you cards!  That thing about having a year to send thank you's is baloney.

The christian Easter has passed but the Christian orthodox one hasn't arrived yet(not sure)I'm not sue which one you ar referring to. I will answer the question anyway. Personally a greeting card would be fine with me I have received cards from from non-christians, and have given greeting cards for passover and Ramadan.  I don't see a problem with it.

Sending an unsealed envelope to anyone these days is foolish: the contents can fall out.  I remember we used to get a cheaper postage rate for greeting cards if the envelope was not sealed, but that was a very long time ago indeed.  Do other countries still do that?

I still send them...and it's amazing the impact it has on people.  I'm normally the one in my family that is pretty consistant about it.  My birthday was back in September, and I was very busy with a new job so was delayed in sending out cards.  People were actually shocked in not receiving a thank you.  It's a nice gesture and lost art.

I think it is a waste of time and money. I do not send any. I receive some. Open and read them. Think "How Nice". \n And then think that they wasted their money on 1: the card. \n 2: the postage stamp. And wonder how many others they have sent out. After I open and read them they are tossed away and forgotten about.\n I can see maybe sending a card to someone who may be over seas.\n Better yet ...take the money you would spend on cards and postage. Make up a care package of  cookies,candy,etc. and give it to a local organization that sends Christmas packages to our G.I.s overseas. Put a note in it that tells who ever that gets it. That you are proud of them.\n Call the people,that you normally would send cards to, and wish them a happy holiday personally.

I mail my husband 2-3 packages a week and the average time is 6-8 days.  I did have one package that took 3 wks, but I think that was just a fluke.  I paid for delivery confirmation on the first couple of packages that I sent, but my husband told me that he had received them prior to my being able to track it through the USPS.  Now I just save that 50 cents.  Our FRG told us to mail Christmas packages by the 13th of Nov.  I am mailing mine out tomorrow.

I do not need a card. A call is ok, as it is just a silly holiday, really. No need for the pressure that comes with having to stop for a card, or anything else for that matter.\nMy kids and I adore each other, and that is my gift all year

I don't think I've ever actually sent anyone a written letter in my life, thanks to the Internet and long distance telephones.  I do still send Christmas/holiday cards by hand though :)

We are in the same position. I try to do this every year. You can walk around the tree and pick boy or girl, child or adult. We usually pick a child and an adult, because I try to picture myself in the adults position if I were suddenly without my mate. I look to see what they have on their wish list and pick those that we feel we can afford to get what they ask for. I don't think there is a min. or max., but it is important to get what is on the list or close to it. Again, just imagine yourself as the recipient. Do unto others as you would have others do to you. Then we wrap it and put the tag provided on it. We try to include a card from our family, wishing them comfort and joy and Gods' blessing on their family.\n\nI hope you find a way to do it this year, it really is a blessing for you and them.
