It's never too late to be polite. I say send them, but be lighthearted about it. Something like "We've been so busy being deliriously happy that it took us awhile to sit down and thank our wedding guests! Thank you for being a part of our big day--it meant the world to us. And, thank you for the lovely _______, we use it all the time" (or think of you every time we see it, or whatever).
Love,
Jane and Jack"

A THANK YOU note should be sent out within thirty days of receiving a wedding gift.
It is NEVER too late to send a Thank You note because it is better to send one late . . than none at all.
People will remember that you did not send them a Thank You note and that may affect their decision about buying you another gift (first anniversary, birthday, baby gift, etc).
Send your apoligies for being tardy with the note.

I suppose better late then never. You can send a small card, most prolly didnt even think about that. try to get them out ASAP though. You can tell them sorry about the cards being so late in the Thank you letter. If you want

Well, you should send them within 1 year, so you are a little late, but I agree you should just send them.
Maybe include a little family newsletter to explain what has been going on with you family the past year. If it has been hectic people will understand. If there really isn't any news to send, then send simple thanks yous and add sorry so late!

Thank you notes are important to me and I think truthfully everyone likes to be acknowledged. Go ahead and send them, explain that time had really gotten away on you, but you wanted them to know how truly special there gift was to you and your spouse. People may have a little giggle about its lateness, but what they will remember is that you sent it, and how hard it must have been to do so, given the amount of time that has past!

Well...it is very late, but you can still send them. Maybe send a nice picture too or something. Make sure you apologize for not sending them sooner. At least you only invited a few people so you won't have too many to send.

needless to say, you threw a occasion which you wanted to throw, and you invited human beings you wanted to have there, who you're probable awaiting have spent funds on a) dressing up, b) traveling, and c) buying you a latest. Oh, and you do no longer desire to spent the 40 5 cents to respond to them? Get some much less flora and do the splendid element. Darn at once i could be offended! Birthday playing cards could be regarded at and binned besides, yet that does no longer propose you mustn't deliver them. So confident, it could be rude to no longer deliver them.

Out of the weddings and showers that I have been to, I have NEVER remembered if I received a thank you card or not. Nor do I really care for a thank you card (though I do intend on sending thank you cards to all my guests who attend or those who send gifts if they cannot attend) for a gift I've given, to me its a waste of money, especially if I got thanked at the reception or verbally.
Did you unwrap presents in front of people at your wedding?
Did you thank each of them at the wedding, either for the gift or for attending or both?
If you have, then do not worry about a thank you card. You gave your thanks for them attending and the gift at the wedding therefore a thank you card is not needed.
BUT, if not sending one out is taking you on a really severe guilt trip, go ahead and send them out.

it depends...I had a similar wedding in 2005..small with close friends and family, no invites out and the reception was at my parents home...I didnt send out thank you notes either, but we opened the gifts during the reception as everyone gathered around eating cake so we said all our thank yous then. if you opened gifts at the wedding and said thanks then I think your ok. if not then I would just let it go. I would find it odd to get a thank you note over a year later and would probably be like "WTF?"

Send those thank you notes. People will have a much better opinion of you. Better late than never.
