Too late for thank you cards

You should absolutely send out thank you cards. Don’t wait for holiday cards. Do them now and get them out in the mail before next week.

Send them now. I remember every wedding where I went and didn't get a thank you card from. If it was sent to me late I might give a little shrug that it was late but I wouldn't hold it against you.

Don’t wait for holiday cards because people may not be quick to open them.

Go ahead and send out the thank you cards ASAP!

Send them now! Better late than never. I’d rather get a nice thank you card a little late than never receive one. Your guests know that things get busy for newlyweds. Just send them out ASAP!

I'd just get started on them right now!

Take a deep breath. Yes it’s late, but better late than never. I would send them out immediately. Just take a few hours this week or this weekend and just do them all and send them out. Waiting and sending it as a holiday card I feel like would be a bit insulting. As a guest I would just want my thank you, not want it combined with something else. It is a little rude to have waited this long but I understand why you did... I’m just saying, don’t wait even LONGER. And don’t apologize for the lateness. Just write them out and send them ASAP

Late is better than never!

Send them out for sure! Don't do a joint holiday/thank you card. Send a personalized thank you note for each guest that gave you a gift. I remember all the weddings I haven't gotten a thank you note for. Better late than never at all.

Thank you everyone. I will be working on them this week.

I agree with everyone send them ASAP. If you do a couple a day and split them with your husband you will get them done quicker than you'd think and you'll feel so good once you finish!

I think it's better to send them late than not at all. You could just say "Sorry for the delay!" at the beginning of them. But I think not sending them is rude. I'd send them ASAP and not wait any longer.

I think some of these comments may be stressing you out more than you should be...

Take a deep breath! I personally don't think its been too long since your wedding Better late than never! No need to "rush" or get them out ASAP. No one is going to die if they don't get a thank you card. Life happens. Things get delayed.

I understand anxiety, so I get where you're coming from. Just get to them when you can I'm sure most people won't even notice. I got a thank you card in the mail a few weeks ago for a wedding I attended in May. I had forgotten about it to be honest. If people are lying awake at home thinking of thank you cards they didn't get...I'm jealous that that's all they have to worry about. Best of luck!

It is never too late to send thank you cards. They will be appreciated. You could add a small "I'm sorry for the delay".

Get your husband to write 1/2, after all, he did get the gifts too. Do it together, it could me fun reminiscing about the the time just after your wedding.

Agree with this, split up the duties! I wrote the cards and my husband addressed the envelopes, did the return address stamp, and stamped them.

There's nothing like procrastination anxiety! It's easier said than done, but just get them written and sent out as soon as you realistically can. No need to apologize for being late. You've got this!

It's ok. Better late than never.

Here's another take that will shock you. After over 4 months since I sent the wedding couple a very nice check (a month before their wedding) and received no response ... AND the check had not been cashed ... I cancelled payment on the check ... and then sent the wedding couple a note telling them why ... AND promising to immediately send them a replacement check if they responded. They did not. So guess what? Their loss not mine.

I have no idea whether they thought the amount was too little or too much, or even if it was lost. So I now send "virtual credit cards" that automatically expire if not used in a reasonable time frame. If that doesn't shake up you brides (sorry, the gift is for the bride NOT the groom) to send out thank you notes promptly, wake up and smell the coffee. Btw, old people like me do not consider an eMail a proper thank you note.
