We got married on January 2nd, 2007 and for one reason or another, never got around to sending out thank yous. I feel like it's so late now I wonder if I'll just look like a fool sending them out at all - but I feel SOOOO guilty about not having done it. What do I do?

send them out with your Christmas cards.

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.

I'm in a similar situation- we got married six months ago. I don't know how it got away from me, but it did. I just sent my Christmas cards out, and over the next two weeks I am going to get all of the TY's written so that I can mail them right after Christmas (so they don't get lost in the shuffle). Better late than never!!!

You could send out a photo card ( with a wedding photo) with a printed Thank you. Kind of a combo Christmas/ thank you thing. Saying something like" In the season of joy and reflection, we would like to thank all of those who made this year of our marriage such a special and beautiful one. Love Z & P. Not as personal as a written thank you note, but it would get the job done quick. I have a friend who married in Sept & sent those out in Dec.

Uh, I would send them out.
We went to a wedding back in Sept. and still have not received a thank you.
Everyone at work talks about her on how rude that was of her not sending anything out.
People came to your wedding, spent money or gave you money. You should have acknowledged it a long time ago.
People are funny these days.
Send it out with a Christmas photo or in a Christmas card.

I did the same thing. I was very late too. I sent them anyway because I did not want anyone to t hnk I was ungrateful. I am sure they will understand i mean you have hundreds of gifts to fish through whenyou getb ack from your honeymoon they don't expect youto do it right then and there. Send them anyway and just apologize in the letter.

Get them out this week. Focus all your energy on getting them out. Don't worry about pictures or fancy cards...go to walmart, but as many as you need, go to the post office buy the stamps. Then get home, put on some music, open a bottle of wine and start writing. You owe that to your guests!
Good luck!

According to Miss Manners, you have a year from the wedding date to get them out. I'd get going on them NOW... better to be thought of as fashionably late than thoughtless and inconsiderate.

Send them anyway I apologize that these are so late but thank you for the gift. My friend did not send me a thank you intil a year later. It will show manners and class and that you are appriecative.

Yes - definitely send out thank you cards and do it separately from Christmas cards. I'd also recognize the specific gift you received from each person/couple in the card. It's very Emily Post, but it reall will be appreciated by the gift-givers - or most of them anyway.
