So am I the only one?

Who hasn't sent TY notes yet?  Don't get me wrong they are waiting to go but I have no photos yet. :(  I wanted to add a photo. 

Should I just send them?

Re: So am I the only one?

  • Well, at this point, you've waited so long, it would be kind of a bummer to send them without the photos.  Do you have any idea how long it will be before you get the photos?

    I sent mine out about a month and a half after the wedding, and I figured if people were starting to wonder why we hadn't sent them yet, they'd realize when they got the photo cards that it took us a while to get them together.

  • I was trying SO hard not to bug my photographer.  I am hoping in the next week or so.  I suppose I should bite the bullet and email her.

    Our wedding was the 24th so it was the end of September.  So I am ok?

  • I think the general rule of thumb is 2 months, so yeah, you're still in okay shape.  I wouldn't wait too much longer, though.

    Have you contacted your photog at all?  I would probably just send a quick e-mail saying you're really excited to see your photos and antsy to get your pics back for the thank you cards.  If nothing else, maybe she'll send the "thank you" picture ahead of the others so you can get them out.

  • I'm ordering mine this weekend. We waited for the photos too, and we just got them this week (9/5 wedding). I know a lot of people might say I'm wrong, but I think up to 3 months is okay, especially when people see it has the photo...and anyways, it's better than our friends who sent them after 9 months (wedding 1 year ago, we got them this summer).
  • You're welcome!  I hope you get them back soon.  I'll cross my fingers for you. :-)

  • I have not sent mine out yet (9-25 wedding) I have them all written and ready to go I just have been to lazy to go to the post office and get stamps. I am going to try to drop them out this weekend.

  • I sent mine out.  I got tired of waiting for photog.  I'm actually still waiting for our pro pics.  If I don't hear back from him next Friday the 19th (2 months after wedding) I will definately be emaling him!

  • I haven't sent ours yet either. We have all our notes written, but our entire guest list and wedding things were on an external hard drive and when we went to address everything the hard drive decided to die. So now I am bugging moms and grandmas for addresses for everyone to hopefully get these out by Monday. Right now about half of them are finished.

     Sidenote: A coworker of mine has not sent out thank you notes yet and doesn't really have the intention to do so. She was married in May or early June.

    A co-worker of mine did that too.  She told me she spent too much on her invitations and didn't want to have to waste more money on thank you notes.  So she was just going to tell people thank you.  Not that it really matters, but after I gave her a gift with no thank you (not even verbally) she showed up to my wedding with no gift.  I can't comprehend not thanking people for gifts.  Really?

  • Wow!  I thought my co-worker was the only one!  I asked someone about it because I've not received a thank you for her shower gift or wedding gift.. They were married the beginning of June! 

    I'm shocked at how few wedding congrats cards we've received from co-workers.  Not even gifts..cards...oh well...what can you do!?  LOL

  • I think all of mine have been sent now.  I sent my last one yesterday (because I had to find their address) and my wedding was 9/24, so you should be ok, especially after they get it and see the photo in there, they should understand.

  • I finished writing them Wed night. I had a 9/24 wedding.  I need to get stamps and double check that I wrote one for everyone and they will go out this weekend.

  • I was a 25er and only half of mine are done. that means i still ahve 45 to go! They are just so time consuming and I had to wait for pictures also.
  • not only have I not written my TY's but I haven't even ordered anything!!!

  • I'm about halfway through, and am doing a little every night. They're so time consuming, probably because I write way too much in each one - but between that & the photo on the front, I think guests will understand why it took a bit (my wedding was 9/25). I'm aiming to get them out by the end of next week, but I'd be happy as long as it was before Thanksgiving. That's the ultimatum for me.

  • Ahh, this is a nice thread to read.  I thought I was the only one.  I have most of mine out.  Just a handful that haven't gotten out.  But get this, I am just now writing TYs for my bachlorette party.  A little backwards I know.  I hope everyone understands!

     BTW married 9/11 and still waiting on pro photog pictures.

  • Hallelujah, I'm not the only one! I'm waiting on DH to finish his this week. I've been feeling like such a slacker. I find some comfort in the fact that of the 5 weddings we've been to in the last 2 years, NONE of the couples sent out thank you cards. So, I guess I'm ok with mine being a little late.

    I know, that's what I thought! I was in 2 of the weddings, so I thought  that maybe the gifts I got from the brides were the thank you, but yeah, no excuse for the other 3. Kinda disappointing when we dropped at least $100 on each gift....
