Hi ladies,
So has anyone actually started/finished their thank you's? I have had mine for about a month and a half and have not even started them. I am really dreading having to write them out. Our goal is to have them mailed out the first week of May...which is approaching quickly!! When is everyone else planning on getting them out?
Re: Thank You's
Well, because I'm super anal about etiquette, mine were written, mailed, done within three weeks of the wedding... and that's even with living outside of the country and having to use a currier (sp?) service to get them to the States before mailing them.
Several guests have commented to my parents about how awesome it was that we sent them in a timely matter. I think more and more people neglect TYs these days and I'll probably get flamed for this, but I honestly shudder at January brides who have yet to mail them out.

I was really anal about getting them out...I had them all written and mailed by 3 weeks after the wedding...
...I still haven't gotten one from a wedding we went to in November...and at this point, I'm pretty sure we're not getting one.
I would be on the phone, "I haven't heard from you in a while, I just wanted to make sure you got our gift!

One of BFF and BM got married May '09. When I asked her how she liked the gift we got them/did they get it, her response was "Yes, but don't expect a thank you. We don't believe in them. Gifts are required at weddings." I was shocked she actually said this.

GAG!!! 1. No, gifts are not required. 2. Thanks you's are always necessary.

Wow. And what exactly is it they don't believe in? Common courtesy? Being appreciative? I don't tend to care if other people follow wedding etiquette to the tee, but I can't fathom how/why anyone would be ANTI-thank you card.

well, since they got married after I sent their invitation to our wedding, I had to ask her for her new address. When she responded with her address, she added, "Oh, and I need yours too!!"
I finished mine a few weeks ago. DH, on the other hand, just finished his last week after lots of prodding. That was really his fault; I couldn't help him since he addressed all of his side's invitations and wouldn't put the addresses in the spreadsheet!
The worst is when random gifts come in. Don't get me wrong, I like gifts! I got a gift from a family friend just last week, and all I could think was that I am so over writing thank yous!
Ha! I literally LOL'ed. Yea, I love her but she was definitely one of the BSC bee-bee brides that populate the nest. i.e.: she only fed half of her guests while the others sat around talking. And only offered toasting flutes to herself, the groom, and the parents; yet, every single BM and GM (12 total) were required to give a toast.

WOWWWW. was there at least an open bar? because DH and I would probably get as much as we could get from them...that would have been the only thing to make me stay!
You've got to be kidding me! She only fed half her guests? Did they have a sit down meal and some just didn't get food? What did they eat? I just don't understand how someone can think that's okay when planning a wedding.

I've never heard anything like this before! What kind of venue did she get married in? And did everyone at least have a chair?
I don't think I would attend a wedding I couldn't RSVP for - I think that's a bad sign.

Yeah, this.
I sent my thank-yous out as gifts arrived, so most actually went out before the wedding. I sent one big batch after the wedding. I have one more, for a belated gift that came in just a few weeks ago, that I still need to write. I keep forgetting because I haven't written any in so long!
