It's been 6 months since our wedding and I feel so bad that we haven't sent out our thank you cards yet. We've since moved and found out we're having a baby, so it's been busy to say the least! I'd love to share the news, but don't want it to sound like an excuse either. What's the right way to handle this? TIA

Etiquette says you have 1 year from the wedding date to send thank you cards. It is the same as people wanting to send a wedding gift. They have 1 year to celebrate the new marriage. Good news is always welcome..... make sure you let them know the good news and don't explain or apologize for anything.

Send out the wedding thank you cards right away. Just the thank you cards. You can make up little at-home cards, about the size of a business card, and put them in the thank you. Or, you can send a separate set of at-home cards.
But don't include baby info. Let that spread by word of mouth.

no, you can tell them all about your new home and pregnancy in a separate note, card, letter, you don't want your wedding thank you note to sound like a invite to a housewarming and a baby shower when you haven't finished your after wedding duties yet......a separate thank you note is needed for the wedding present and by the way, it's never too late to send them......yes 6 months is long overdue, but better late than never.

Honestly, I think it is totally fine. People will be so excited to hear your news that they will not even be thinking about the timing of the note. It's better to send them out now then never... I would go for it. And congratulations on your upcoming arrival!!!

No, you just send your thank you cards ALREADY! That was really rude of you to have waited so long... there really are NO excuses.

I personally would like good news in a thank you card.

You need to get those thank you notes out right away - tell friends and family the other news separately.

i would think it is fine, just do it separate. like do the thank you card & then insert an "update page" with a pic of you two & a paragraph or two about your news. That is exciting stuff & they would want to know! congrats!

send thank you notes and just tell them sorry that it took so long to get back. but they should realize that you are busy. and just tell them that you are pregnant and give them your new address.
