Re: how long did it take untill you mailed out thank yous

My cousin didn't send hers out til last week, and she got married in August. I got married in November, and I still haven't either (waiting to choose pic I like). I think (not 100% sure) that some take as much as up to 8-12 months to send them out.

i think 'technically' you have 3 months to get them out. next wednesday is our 4th month mark, and so far i only have about 1/3 of them done.

Re: how long did it take untill you mailed out thank yous

We mailed our TY's at the 5 week mark. I wanted to get it over with and not drag them out over the holidays.

I think 3-4 months is the norm so you are fine. If you want, you could write them out now and slip in the picture when they are ready.

Re: how long did it take untill you mailed out thank yous

I think mine took about 2 1/2 months. We wanted to keep it under 3 months. We had them written out but we had to wait for the photos!

Re: how long did it take untill you mailed out thank yous

I sent mine out exactly on the three month mark. By the time you get home from honeymoon, pick a card/picture, then writing them, it is time consuming.

I think I took like 4 months.

I was at a wedding in April & we STILL haven't gotten a Thank-You. She hasn't even ordered them yet!!

Re: how long did it take untill you mailed out thank yous

My brother and sister-in-law didn't send theirs out for almost a year. We just picked our pic, so I don't know how long it's going to take from here.

Re: how long did it take untill you mailed out thank yous

mine were out in 2 months.

I would defiantely wait for the pic. Maybe you could pick up the cards from your photographer and start writing them out now, this way, you will just have to insert the pic when you get them and mail them.

Re: how long did it take untill you mailed out thank yous

I got my out about 6 weeks after I was married. I pre-addressed the envelopes prior to the wedding and that helped A LOT.
