Thank you cards
I am dreading doing this and a complete slacker when it comes to post- wedding stuff. How long after your wedding did you send them?
Re: Thank you cards
I was done in 1 month. I think anything past about 8 weeks after you get back from your HM is rude. If all else fails, atleast send a post card that says "Thank you for your gift, formal note to follow".
The perfect example of this is J and I went to a wedding in November. Spent a large sum of money on a gift, and in March, we still had not rec'd a thank you. I called the bride to confirm that she got my gift, God forbid it got lost and she thought we stiffed her....she said no, she was just to busy to write TY's. We finally got a note that said "thank you for the XYZ gift. We love it. Love X and O" in flippin MAY!
I kept my TYs and list at work. I got to work about 15 minutes early every day and wrote 3-5 TYs and mailed them each day. If I was late, I would not go home til they were done that night.
We had them all sent off two weeks after the wedding. I didn't want them hanging over my head, so I cranked them out in a few hours on a Saturday. Miz.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
I had mine done within a month.. DH on the other hand... 3 to 4 months
But you know what... people were so shocked when they received them! I had one of Joseph's aunts come up and say "Thank you soo much for the TY! We haven't received one in so long from anyone!"
I definitely wouldn't be hurt if someone waited 3-4 months but 6 months to a year... that's pushing it.
What I did to get them going was I did 10 a day. That way I could focus on the person and their gift vs. a monotonous note droning on about thank you, love it, nice seeing you, bye. We could personalize the cards and let the people know what we were doing with their gift/money.
GL!
