Post wedding thank you notes

ASAP! I think within a month of the wedding/return from your honeymoon (if you go on one right away).

I've heard 1 year after but if you can't find some time to write a few here and there every couple days/weekend, you need to relax lol. I'd rather get them done and out asap as possible.

3 months is a good goal. I would order them after! That way you could put a wedding photo on it, just ask your photographer for a sneak peek or 2

One month after was my goal, but with it taking so long to get photos back and then to get the cards back after ordering them, looks like it is going to be about 6 weeks later. I think anywhere within two months after is good!

ASAP. I'm not sure where the whole "one year to send thank yous" comes from, but I think it's absurd. They should be sent literally as soon as humanly possible.

The goal is 3 months after the wedding according to etiquette. We went on a two week honeymoon, and I'm hoping to get all of them out within 2 months from the wedding, which would mean about 6 weeks of thank you note writing.

We did within 2 months which was time enough to order cards with our pictures on them to send.

Bookcase I totally agree. I am still waiting for one from a coworker from 5 years ago though...

ASAP. 3 months is a good absolute maximum. 1 year is absurd, there is no etiquette expert who says it's ok to wait that long.

Order now so that they're available. If you really want to wait until you have a picture available, ask your photographer for a sneak peek right after your wedding. But really people just want a prompt, personal thank you note.

Also if people are already sending you gifts, send thank you notes within 2 weeks of receiving them. Then after the wedding, thank you notes go to those who brought a gift to the wedding or mailed you something around that time.

I got a thank you note from a friend 10-11 months after her wedding. To me it was an insult to even send one. She lost her list of gifts by waiting that long. So it was so generic. So NOT a year, but a couple months is fine.

Thanks for the advice ladies. I sent my bridal shower thank you cards two days after. I wasn't sure what etiquette was for a wedding because we'd like to include a photo. I will do it ASAP before honeymoon. Where did you ladies order your thank you cards from?

I think people have a year to GIVE wedding and housewarming gifts, but thank you notes should go out sooner. Our one month mark is coming up (not done yet) but we honeymooned for two weeks right after... Aiming to have them out within the next couple of weeks!
