Mailing Thank You Cards

Hi Ladies,

Im no where near done with my TYs but what is everyone doing in terms of mailing them out? Do you wait untill you're done with all (for me- in the next century) or just mail them as you finish them?

Im going through a big move and the TY cards will be on hold for a month or so, and i know im already late..... sigh... anywho, just wanted an idea as to whateveryone is doing... THANKS!

Honestly I think considering most folks don't do it till they get back from a honeymoon I think after a month is pretty much the limit - also figure you may not get to see your picutres until then as well (if you're doing photo thank you cards).

I think the etiquette for it is about 3 months after the wedding.

BTW I would think that the people who were guests at your wedding would know that you are moving and will understand if you take a little bit longer. I would just say don't take longer than 6 months.

mail them all at once.. peopel talk haha they will be peeved taht so and so got one and they didnt
but u have 1 year.. yes 1 year... to do thank yous
but usually after 6 months people will start dropping hints they want their thank you
you have plenty of time, especially if you are writing each person a little personalized something

I've gotten tys as late as 9 months after the wedding! You do what you can. I would say to send them all at once. That way no one can get offended.

While I havent gotten married I have heard its better to send them out all at once so one aunt isnt all 'did you see the lovely thank yous' and another aunt is all 'ummm i never got one'. Honestly, if you get them out within 3 months, I think thats pretty okay... pushing 6 months? ehhhh
