Dedicated July 2014

Late thank you cards

My husband and I have been married since July and have not sent Thank You cards yet. Our plan is to get them done this weekend. We understand this is an etiquette no-no and feel bad about it. Truth is, since the wedding, he started a new job, we have bought and moved into a new house, in addition to a few other very time consuming things. Life has been extremely busy (as I know it is for all of us). Again, we feel very bad about this but are trying to get them out ASAP.

Anyways, should we acknowledge in our thank you cards our lateness with sending them out? If so, any suggestions as to how to do this?

Thank you!

I wouldn't address the lateness in an apology, but perhaps just the wording- physical gifts you've actually had time to use- so you can say x was very useful in cooking for HUsbands birthday dinner blah blah, or as we're getting settled we still can't believe we are fortunate to have people like you in our lives and are so thankful for blah blah

Thanks for making me feel better lol. Still haven't sent ours! I agree with pp, just make them thoughtful and personal and acknowledge already using the gifts.

I wouldn't address the lateness either. Just personalize them "Thank you so much for the xyz"

I wouldn't flat out apologize, but if you can work it in (for example, "the new vacuum has been super helpful in our new house!") then it can't hurt! But I'd say definitely get those out asap- I know I am usually pretty frustrated when I give a generous gift and receive no acknowledgement that they received it or were thankful.
