cash/deposit wedding gifts from guests that are unable to come to the wedding before the actual wedding date??? This was brought up in discussion so I figured I'd ask the experts!!!

Re: Is ist bad ettiquette to.... With POLL
We deposited them - my thinking was - if I wrote someone a check I would want them to cash it sooner rather than later bc otherwise it is a pain to balance your checkbook. I also didn't want checks lying around, esp. before the wedding when everything was chaotic and they were very likely to get lost or thrown out.

I would cash it if for no other reason than this one: let's say I wrote you a $500 check for the wedding 2 months away. Fast forward 2.5 months, Let's say something comes up and money is tight and I have an unexpected expense.....I go to the ATM and see my balance...it's higher than I thought it would be, but the last time I wrote a large check was months ago for that wedding i couldn't attend 2 weeks ago....so I take out the money or write a check for the power bill only to have it bounce because now that you've returned from your honeymoon, you cash a check i thought had already gone through and spent the money again....it happens.
id cash it.....they didnt mail it too you for it too sit there! But if you do deposit it id mail a thank you as well!!
