Thank you note question...

I think that the etiqette is to send them out by six months. I think a lot of people run into the same problem since I often get thank yous around 4-6 months. I personally like the picture idea and like getting a photo with the note and waited to send mine until I got the picture back. I sent them out at around the 5 month mark. I made sure to have all my addresses and cards written out so I could just insert the photo and mail when I received the photos.
It is totally wrong that they came to the wedding and didnt give a gift though! Sorry Rachel

Our wedding was Nov 4, and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! And, my parents hosted another celebration for us in Chicago last weekend. Even though it's been a little crazy lately, everything was so special this past month!!!
