6 months for a thank you??

I think any more than 2 months after the wedding is ridiculous. We went to a wedding in August and didn't get our TY note until December...I thought that was a really long time.

I plan on doing my TYs the weekend after we get back from our HM...I know they take a long time, but I just don't see any reason for delaying them so long.

well- mine are going to take about 3 months

i am still waiting for my photo thank yous- I am almost married 2 months now and should have them any minute

It depends on if wedding photos are included (inside or on the actual card). If the photographer takes 3 - 6 months to get the couple the photos, it will take 4 - 7 months to mail out the cards (assuming time to order them and get them printed).

I'm pretty sure couples have 1 year to mail out thank you cards just like guests have up to 1 year to send a gift.

I have to disagree, I don't think anything more than 2 months is ridiculous!

There are a few factors involved (you're getting married soon, you'll see!)

I got married in November, and I'm still writing out my TY's.

First - We didn't get the cards from our photog. until about a month and a half after the wedding.

Second - We then had to wait for our proofs so we could choose a picture for the insert in the card.

Third - We had to wait to get the TY pics after we choose them (in fact we just got them last week)

And finally - We had a HUGE wedding (300 people attended, and almost 200 that didn't) So that's close to 500 people. So I have a little more than 200 thank you's to write, in between settling into our new house, working full time, etc..... We're coming up on 3 months being married and I have a little more than half my cards written out.

So, I don't think anything more than 2 months is ridiculous. I think many past brides will agree.

JMHO.

ETA: I my GOAL is to have my cards in the mail by the beginning or middle of March. Which I think is perfectly acceptable.

I am still waiting for one, and it has been Two years. I guess I can forget that!

Now, I think this is very rude!

I also agree!

I sent mine out at 6 months, which was very late I know, but there were contributing factors to the lateness...one very important reason was because DH got a virus on our computer and I lost everyone's address!

Etiquette allows for you to send your TYs by 3 months..

We went to a wedding in 8/2005 and just now got our thank you cards. What is the normal time span that a thank you should be recived??

---

I went to a wedding in 9/04 and 8/05 still waiting on thank you's

My cousin sent hers out within 10 weedk of her wedding- I think it depends on your photographer.
I know mine told me that my proofs will be ready for p/u when we get back from out HM

I am planning to get mine out as soon as possible. Its understandable the certain delays when you want to include a picture. My theorectical goal is to slowly write out the thank yous until the pictures arrive and then all i have to do is add picture and then mail. That's my plan anyway.

I went to a shower last January and a wedding last February and I got both Thank You cards this past December. I thought that was a little crazy to get my shower thank you so late, those you shoudl be able to do right away.

you do have a point that if you have over 300 guest that will take some time

But if its a small wedding it should not take anylonger then 6 mon
