that I have not sent mine out yet??? Duet is kind of far from me so I just ordered them last week. They will HOPEFULLY get here by next week. I am a little embarassed b/c it has been 3 months already and I have to see ALL of DH's family ( the women anyway) at SIL's shower this weekend
Im getting ready for the dirty looks!! Its the first time I have really seen everyone since the wedding.

Thanks for making me feel worse about it everyone
hahahah! don't feel bad! my goodness. the latest i got a TY card from someone was approx a year after their wedding. it didn't bother me, tho. and i understand it's a matter of courtesy but come on.. is it really that urgent?? you can't exactly come home everyday from work or from running your errands in hopes that a ty card will be in the mailbox and if it passes a certain time line you get a lil huffy puffy... it's just not a big deal to me... imo.

I think you are running a but late. But you can make it up by making each on personal. I think the best advice is to do 5 each day until their done. Also have your husband write some of them. Especially if you aren't close to the gift giver.
I know it is hard to get them done. When I had my Bat Mitzvah I had to write 500! It took forever!

Re: Speaking about Thank yous... Is it horrible
i was getting flack from mil about not getting them out and 2 months after the wedding. i got them out shortly before 3 months, and i think any longer than that and i would have been annoyed to be writing them!

Re: Speaking about Thank yous... Is it horrible
I think its better to get one eventually than not to get one at all! A few of my friends sent theirs around the 6-month mark (one or two later) and I didn't think any less of them! So I think as long as you get them out as soon as you can then you are fine.

If your bad I'm worse! I haven't even picked out my thank you! Yikes! My appointment with Jovon isn't until the end of July! They said I could bring one in sooner to start the process which I know I should but who has the time! Don't feel bad!

I literally had mine out the door two weeks afterwards. But that's my nature...I don't like to procrastinate on anything.
How is that possible? Did you send out photo's? Do you work outside the home? WOW!

I wholeheartedly agree with the above

Re: Speaking about Thank yous... Is it horrible
i just got the photo for mine and have been playing phone tag with my stationer about the cards; they just came in and I have to pick them up....so hopefully they will go out around the 3-month mark. I don't think it's bad and no one should think anything of it.

Re: Speaking about Thank yous... Is it horrible
I do not think it is horrible. I got married in October and I haven't sent mine. Granted..I am currently working them, but we just bought a house and you know what...I only have so much time in my day to do things.
I get thank you cards up-to one year after the wedding. We all know that we appreciated that they were at our wedding, why would it be different for any other bride or family to think otherwise.
I am not stressing it. Now, I get to add our new address

My photographer (family friend) had the proofs in my hands as soon as I was back from my honeymoon and I had the T/Y's w/pics back four days after that. I busted my hump every day to do them (before work/during lunch/afterwork) on top of two jobs. The weekend I just crammed as many in and got them all done (phhewwhhh). I even wrote a personalized message on all of them. It can be done but I was committed to getting them finished because I didn't want to get sidetracked and never finish them.

Re: Speaking about Thank yous... Is it horrible
Just to make eveyone feel better - I was married last June and now I am sending mine out this week - Almost a year. I figured it would remind people that they shared the day with us almost a year ago - already. Time flys so fast. :)

Re: Speaking about Thank yous... Is it horrible
it took me a little over 4 months- ok almost 5 to do mine
it took me 2 months just to get them
they were photo cards- but not pre-printed I had to write out everyone and address them
in addition to working and trying to get back to my pre-wedding life
if anyone is upset I chanellege them to spend a day in my shoes

Re: Speaking about Thank yous... Is it horrible
Everyone has busy lives, jobs, responsibilities, etc.....but we do have an obligation to get thank you's out in a timely manner, what that time line should be is a different story.
I think if you get them out within 6 months, you're good, otherwise, people start to wonder.....
I can't even remember how many weddings I went to where I didn't even GET a thank you, that is just plain offensive, but you know what? They're off my Christmas list!!!!!
My point is, don't stress, do a few every day, have your DH write his side and you'll be OK.

Re: Speaking about Thank yous... Is it horrible
I wouldn't worry too much over this. Unless it's over a year, I wouldn't think anything of it. When I receive a TY I never even put the wedding date and how many months it's been together.
