The rule of etiquette for thank you notes... for gifts received before the wedding, you should send out a thank you note within two weeks. For gifts received after the wedding, you have up to one month to send out your thank you notes. However, it has become acceptable today to send wedding thank you notes up to two months after the wedding, especially if you take a long honeymoon or invited several hundred guests!

Send a Thank You card as soon as you receive a gift. This will save you from having a long list of cards to send when you return from your honeymoon. I know this is a busy time for you, but you should never be too busy for manners. Besides, what you accomplish today, won't have to wait until later. You'll just be able to enjoy your spouse and all your great gifts!

Right away.... things are going to feel a little stressful after the wedding, especially if your going on a honeymoon and moving in with each other... I would try to get them done right away, but usually people expect to receive them within 3 weeks of the wedding.

ASAP. I think the proper rule or whatever is - before the wedding send them by 2 weeks, after the wedding by two months.

You can start sending them out right away. Most gift givers should receive a thank you note within 2 weeks of giving the gift. However, for wedding gifts, you have 6 months to send them all out.
I would recommend not trying to write them all out at once - it gets monotonous, and it's harder to do. Instead, devote an hour or two each day to write thank you notes. If you keep your list handy, you can write up drafts while you're waiting in line, waiting for a plane, etc.
Make your hubby write thank-you notes as well. The proper format is something like "Dear Aunt Judy, Ed and I want to thank you for the beautiful crytal vase. It looks gorgeous in our dining room, especially with fresh seasonal flowers. How wonderful it was to see you at our wedding. We enjoyed catching up with you. Love, [your name]"
Do not sign your husband's name, only yours, as you credited him in the body of the thank you note.

You have 4-6 weeks from the time you return from the honeymoon... it is always proper etiquette to send out a thank you as soon as you get a gift.

between a week and a month after the wedding. Any longer after that there's no point in sending them

Etiquette states within 30 days of the wedding.

You technically have up to 6 months to graciously acknowledge gifts.
My recommendation, if it hasn't already passed, is to pre-address a thank-you note envelope for each RSVP and stick a blank thank-you card inside. That way, you can get to writing them directly after the honeymoon and save yourself the trouble of looking up all the addresses again.
