    Default How long for thank you notes?

    I just got a thank you note for a wedding I attended in October. Now I know it takes longer to send out TYs for a wedding (more people, honeymoon, etc), but really, it's JUNE! Wedded folks, any idea? Is that normal?

    Hey, at least you got one. That means even almost a year later, they're still thankful. Think of it that way.

    This is true. I just felt like they thought ' oh yeah, we forgot to send one to RL'

    I think etiquette allows you to wait up to a year.

    I will say that for every "Tsk! I never got a thank-you note!" story, I've seen a "OMG, it's been 2 years and I never sent out the thank-you notes! I'm mortified!" story.

    Heh. I can imagine. Weddings are slightly insane. I think I would have rather not received one than get it almost a year later.

    According to Emily post's Wedding Etiquette, guests have up to 1 year to give a gift and the couple has up to three months to send a thank you note.

    Writing wedding thank you cards was one of the most stressful things i've ever done.
    I'm just not very organized and my husband has a huge family and well most of them got out 98% but there are a few that didn't Then i had the baby and still haven't sent them
