ok i committed the ultimate newlywed faux pas. our wedding was a little over 4 months ago and my thank you cards are still sitting here. they've been sitting here for 2 months and i've only written like 10. what with moving 3,000 miles from home, adjusting to this terrible east coast weather, attending what seems like 1,000 weddings .. i totally got behind.
now what do i do? hurry up and write them and get 'em out by the 5 month mark? or just forget them and try to sell 'em on ebay (they're generic cards, no picture).
advice??

Hate to tell you this, but I'd write them out and send them. I know it's a lot of work, but your guests deserve thank you's... JMO
I have been to weddings where I haven't received thank you's and those people ALWAYS stick in my mind and I've also been a guest at wedding where it took just about a year to get the thank you...

Re: thank you card dilemma
you just need to write them ASAP.. I have gotten thank you cards a YEAR after the wedding- just get them out.

Definitely do them. I'll be sending mine at the 6 month mark

DEFINITELY write them..... No matter how long it takes, people deserve their 'thank you's'...jmo! I started mine and still have about 60 left, but if you do a few every night, you will get them done.
Good Luck!

Write 'em. I got mine out at the 5 month mark and no one shot me.

Sorry, you have to write them. I dont think how long it takes matters as much as making sure your guests get heartfelt thank yous.

Start your writing engines, recruit others to help you girl.

I have to agree with the group, you should definitely write them out and send them. Set yourself an hour a night to do them - this way you'll be done in a week or two hopefully!

I still have not gotten one from Liz yet, so you see you are still good to go

I'm still doing mine and I just passed 6 months. I should be done in the next couple of days-at least I hope so. Anyone who knows you should understand. That's what I tell myself anyway.

Grin and bear it- and do them!
I must admit I was lax as well. I just ordered my TY's yesterday. I have been married 2 months. My goal is to get them out before Xmas.

Send them out asap. You can even write in the note 'sorry this has taken me so long but with the move I fell behind' or something like that. There is NO excuse for NOT sending TY cards IMO.
