Um I desigend them and then had to wait till they all came in but I'd say had em all done and out within a month.

About a month and a half. Only a month if you don't count the time we were on the honeymoon

Re: How long....

I haven't even gotten my proofs yet and our wedding was just over a month ago.

Once we get our proofs we have to choose the pic for the thank you and put in the order. Don't know how long it takes to get them once you put in the request.

Then I'll have to write them all out and mail them. And considering Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas, my birthday, New Year's, and DH's birthday are all within days of each other at the end of the year, I don't think mine will be out before early '08.

Does that make you feel better??

Don't feel like a loser. I got married in May, and just started sending them out. Hello, 6 months later.Talk about loser But they came out beautiufl, and we had some stuff happenin. Priorities first. And besides, I've been to a few wedding around the same time as mine, and haven't recieved Thank You's yet either. So I don't feel so bad!!

My wedding was in JULY and I still havent gotten them out!
I actually wrote about 90% of them over a MONTH ago but I just never finished the last few and I wont mail them out until every last one is complete.
Also, it only took me about 3 hours to write 75 of them. So it's really NOT as bad as you think!
Don't sweat it! Your family understands. It's a hectic time!

We picked our thank you card photo a week ago. So, we are waiting for our thank you cards. We know that they will be sent before our 1st year anniversary.

Re: How long....

You have up to a year to get your TYs out, tho most brides do it within 6 months. I got mine out in 5 months. Don't worry about it!!

Re: How long....

Wow I didn't know that...I was so worried about getting my ty cards out as soon as possible..in the end..I send them out 3 months after the wedding...which is not bad...

Re: How long....

Mine are ready now.....I have to go pick them up from my photographer sometime this week. Then I'll probably work on them over the next week and get them out before Thanksgiving.....that's my goal anyway!

Re: How long....

I am still working through mine! I hope that makes you feel better - I was a few weeks before you. I have just about 1/4 more to send out. Have been doing them little by little when the mood hits me.

Re: How long....

please girl! u are in GREAT shape! i wrote all of mine out within a month, but then they sat on top of my fridge for another 5 'cause i was procrastinating paying for the postage lol. Anytime before a year is really fine. i sent mine out about 4 or 5 months later

Thank goodness . . me neither!!! My dad just said my aunt wants to know where they are. Um, the photographer is on LI and it's not as though as I live right around the corner. To do list for the holiday weekend.

Re: How long....

I got all of mine out within 8 weeks. I know that a year is acceptable, but I think its tacky to wait so long. I find it offensive. THat is just my opinion though
