I think cash it because they may wonder why it never cleared. My only reservation is I dont want to put it in the 'wedding fund' and use it to help pay for remaining wedding things. I think I may cash them and keep them in an envelope and deposit them after the wedding. Not sure though.

I would say cash it or deposit it. You are close enough to your wedding date that it would be ok to do so. And for their own purposes, they will want the check to clear so its not hanging out there.

We’ve received a few wedding checks from guest not attending. We cashed them when we received them. Because personal checks due have a time frame on them that they need to be cashed by. We added the money into our regular funds & plan on using it for the honeymoon.

I'm wondering this too... I received a gift from someone not attending and I didnt even open the envelope yet. I feel like I shouldnt... Kinda like christmas...
I know checks are no good after 90 days so I figured I was in the clear anyway.. We'll probably just wait till after we get back from HM
