Thank you cards!!!

on November 19, 2021 at 1:56 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

Well, I feel like a horrible person.. Got married in June and haven't sent thank you cards. Life got expensive and extremely busy, lost a family member.. No excuse but how late is too late to send them out? Can I maybe put them together in a thank you/happy holidays card?

Thank you!

    Send them now ASAP. Don’t wait for holiday cards. Too late is not sending them at all. People do wonder if you got the gifts or if you appreciate them and if they don’t get a response via thank you card then they likely won’t give gifts again in the future.

    Send them now. Don't shortcut it with your holiday card (bc as a recipient, that is exactly how I would feel about it).

    This is definitely a better late than never item. And the sooner you do it, the more peace of mind you will have.

    Agree with others. Send them asap. People understand life gets in the way sometimes. They should definitely be separate from holiday cards.

    As PPs said, you need to send them ASAP - but do not combine them with your holiday cards (which gives the impression that you waited so that you would only have to send one item).

    I'm sorry for your loss, I'm sure your guests will understand why you ran behind.

    Sometimes this stuff happens. Get your thank yous out ASAP and don't combine them with any other greetings. They should stand alone. Combining them with something else dilutes the original intent and makes it seem like an afterthought. Even if a guest to gets a wedding thank you card and a holiday greeting card from you on the same day, in separate envelopes, with unique postage stamps, that is better than trying to "double dip" or skipping the thank yous entirely.
