My cousins wedding was at the end of October and I forgot to bring my gift which is a check. I had the money at the time, and was going to send it when I got home, but I forgot for a few weeks and then things came up and didn't really have the money in my account.
Well now I want to send it,over two months later, and I don't know if I should say anything on the card explaining myself.. Or just say sorry for it being so late.. or nothing.
I know that you technically have up to a year to send a gift, but I feel bad.

If you have up to a year to send a gift, then you are not late in giving a gift so no need to feel bad for being late. Just send it, and it will be a pleasant surprise for your cousin. After we got married, we were getting presents for a few months afterwards and it was always nice, like Christmas throughout the year.

i could tell your mothers and fathers approximately it, they could furnish help to because of the fact this woman is bulling and harassing you and in the experience that your college has a coverage of no bulling in college, your mothers and fathers can provide help to and the crucial style it out in a mature and employer way so as that the girl will with a bit of luck end and the instructor could study to ask and hear first in the previous giving detention.

Very simple, just apologize for the delay telling your cousin you have forgotten about it. You don't have to explain in details such as your account is empty, this will make your cousin uneasy to receive your check.

Well, to be politically correct, you have up to a year to send a gift for a wedding.
Just get a new card that says something along the lines of "belated congratulations" and send it with your gift. No explanation is necessary. The newlyweds are probably already aware that not all gifts will ge given either before or at the wedding.

Traditional etiquette says you have up to one year to send a gift - and they have up to one year to send the thank you note. Just send it with a note saying sorry it's a little late. While they might not say anything, they will have noticed that they didn't get a gift from you.

If you feel bad just say "sorry so late" but I wouldn't feel bad...you are sending her money which is really nice of you and you are right you have up to a year for wedding presents!

Don't beat yourself up. People forget things all the time. Send the check with a tiny note wishing them the best. No need for explanation. If you truly want to include one keep it brief. "Even though this is getting to you a little late, it's filled with just as much love as if it were on time. Enjoy!"

say the same thing that you would have said - as if you gave it to them around the time they got married.
I don't think they will be upset that you sent your present late.
And add: May your marriage be blessed in 2008.

Just send the check with "renewed" congratulations.
