Your making this harder then it needs to be. Thank then for the gift and attending 1 or both events. It also helps if you add detail like, "I enjoyed seeing you dance with everyone," or "I'm glad you finally got to meet so-so."
It's not a lot, but it means a lot!

You could use humor like "As the honeymoon ends, the reality sets in! Sending a note to tell you that it's almost been a year- we're still in love- and want to finally thank you for being a part of the memory of our special day."
Or
"It's almost been a year and looking fondly through our wedding scrapbook, we noticed the "thank-you" card page is sadly blank. So here's double "thank you", for being part of the start of our book and helping us finish it."
You get the idea. It's never too late to say thank you and a laugh is always welcome.

Yes, you should still do it! It might be a good idea to include how their very generous gifts have been used during your year of marriage....they might feel more included and less offended that you waited this long. Send them out with a light but gracious heart and good humor.

I really like Poetic's answer, especially the first suggestion.
Give them a laugh. Perhaps put down a little memory from the party that you remember having with them?
I'd say that, or just not worry about it, its been a year.
:)

I would have photos done and place them in the Thank You card and write something personal. I would say, We want to thank you for your generous wedding gift and for sharing our special day with us..We apologize for it being somewhat late. Love,

i've read that you can send out thank-yous for up to a year after your wedding. Ettiquette wise i don't know how acceptable that is, but you should still send them out. I'm sure people understand that you and your husband are busy people but recieving a thank you even a year later will still make them feel appreciated

Send them now! You may even want to include some kind of apology for the delay, say you've been busy or something. You need to send them ASAP though.

At this point the graceful thing to do would be to get those things written ASAP. Make sure you thank your guests for having come to your event, thank them specifically for the gift they gave, and do NOT make mention of your social gaff in not thanking them sooner!

No, please don't send them out now because people will be more frustrated that you waited over 1 year to send out thank yous. Take out an ad in your local paper and say thank you to all the people who supported you. It is a year later so you can generally thank all those people who supported you.

Yes, go ahead and send out your thank you cards. You will make them feel like you remembered their gifts.
