We got married on August 12, 2006, and I've just started to send out my thank yous this week, is it too late?

Traditionally, guests at a wedding have exactly one year from the date of the nuptials to send a gift.
Since this is true, I would say that you have at least a year to send thank you notes.
And, if you are concerned, just remember that is is better late than never and people will appreciate the sentiment no matter when you send them the thanks!
Congrats on your marriage!

It is not too late. I want to say it's never to late but the whole point of thank yous is for the person to know you received the present they got you. Right now, I am wondering if a couple of people know that I gave them presents for their wedding because I haven't gotten a thank you. I'm wondering, did the store deliver the present, did it get misplaced, did somebody steal it, did they lose it? But I will never know cause I feel embarrassed asking them about it. I finally asked one friend about a present and they sent me a thank you a week or so later - when the wedding was just under a year ago. You'd feel more embarrassed if somebody asked you if you got their present. Get them out as quickly as possible.

It would have been best to send them in late August, but if it didn't happen it didn't happen.
Send them now. It's never too late. You will feel better, the people who gave you things will feel better, and it's just the right thing to do.
Open a bottle of wine, put on some tunes, and get it done.

It is never too late, but you definitely waited a little too long. The general rule is 4-6 weeks after returning from the honeymoon, assuming that you went on your honeymoon right after the wedding. You guests will appreciate that you sent them out though, just get it done quickly.

I think you are probably ahead of the game compared to many - it seems so many people don't get them out until a year after the ceremony (if at all). And it probably is 'never too late' although the sooner the better. You should send them regardless that way people know for sure that you did receive their gift.

Ideally, thank yous should go out no later than a month after you return from your honeymoon. It's appropriate to give a gift up to a year after the wedding. You're sending yours out a little late, but the important thing is that you're sending them. Get them out ASAP.

Never too late! People understand that newly married couples are busy. Yet they would view you as very shallow if they never recieved a thank-you from you. You're fine. Just get it done now so that each person/family recieves them at nearly the same time. People do talk to each other about these things.

Nope, it's never too late to send thank you notes. The people who gave you the gifts will appreciate that you acknowedged their presents, and I'm sure they appreciate how busy life can get.

I would rather receive a late thank you than no thank you at all. Most people understand the first few months are pretty busy, so better to say thank you now than not at all.

Reguardless if you have procrastinated a little bit...you should still send them. I think ppl understand when newlyweds have a lot going on. Generally you have up to 6 months I think, but I would say send them as soon as you get them done. Good luck!
