First Wedding Gift

Is it proper protocol to open wedding presents as soon as they arrive on the doorstep? We got a box today with a pair of wrapped gifts inside (and lots of polystyrene peanuts). Judging against what Macy's says people have purchased, I think it's glasses. So are we allowed to open it up and use them?

Another thing: nowhere does it say who the gift is from. The return address is Macy's. How are we supposed to know who got us what? How can we send a thank-you card? Surely whoever bought them expected Macy's to include a card letting us know his or her name. But they didn't.

So if you or anyone you know bought us glasses, make sure to tell us, okay? Otherwise, don't expect a thank-you.

When you do open the present, there should be a gift card inside.

Yes, you are allowed to open the gift when you receive it. Personally though, I don't think I'd use things until after the wedding.

Yup, there was a receipt inside the box with the givers' names. Thank you, Karen & Michael!
