When is everyone sending out thank yous?

....or have you already!?

 H and I decided on a thank you that we love, its being delivered UPS today so I'll finally have them in my hands! I have a super busy weekend ahead of me, so I'm really going to try to get them out by next weekend.

Re: When is everyone sending out thank yous?

  • I have them stacked and ready to be written out. I was going to try and do it this week but things have been way too crazy. So I am hoping to get them done this weekend. If not maybe next week.
  • I am hoping that once our photographer posts pics on her blog I can "steal" a few of them so I can make cards. She says she'll have them up next week. How much time, etiquette wise, do we have anyway?

    I think within 2 months is the "proper" time to send them out

  • 99% of ours are already sent- I've got maybe 5 more to do. But, I was also pretty good about sending a lot of them out before the wedding... After I only had maybe 20ish to still take care of.

  • this is on our list of things to do... we sent all of the ones from our shower. but.... this is our dilema:

    i moved to colorado (from nc) and arrived before my furniture did.  dh had just moved from steamboat down to our new apartment in parker, so we had NO furniture, but we had a bunch of gifts that had been mailed to us (hooray!) we opened all of our gifts and kept a list of who gave what.  well, then my furniture arrived, and we immediately left to go get married & honeymoon.  we came back and i had to move from parker to steamboat for work, and we moved a bunch of his stuff from the steamboat apartment to the parker apartment.  so between all the moves and chaos, we lost the list! GAH!  we have all the invoices from BB&B and REI, so we'll just have to go through those and then try to remember who got us the stuff that's not from our registries.. it's SUCH a headache.

     have i mentioned i loathe moving?

  • I'm TERRIBLE at these things.... i have them all written up and in the envelopes, i just have to remember to buy the stamps to send them out!!! and i agree with PP, i think the "proper" time to send them out is like 2 months, so i'm doing ok... i've sent out one small batch, some really "important" ones... mostly, just the people that would freak out if they didn't get one ASAP, you know, the one's who would go on and on and on about how awesome the gifts they got us were.... (even if they weren't, because most of them were not on a registry) and don't get me wrong, any gift is appreciated, but i hate it when people badger you about them! ok, rant over sorry... but really, i need to get on the ball with this......

  • We've gotten most of them done and out and still have a few more to do.  We were planning on working on the rest this weekend.  We still have been getting gifts in the mail from people who didn't come.

  • Ours are done and out of my mind!  That was #1 priority to me as I hate when you go to a wedding and receive a Thank You 6 months later.  Too me, that's just an after thought. 

    I agree, 2 months....

  • When we get them from our photographer... they were part of our package. It's REALLY bothering me not to have them! We're supposed to have our pics by June 19th so hopefully we'll have them out by the end of the month. If we weren't doing our TYs through our photog we'd have them out by now.

  • We are still waiting on our photos. We have the template for them we just need a photo. Not being able to do them has been driving me nuts! 
  • Were waiting on our photographers Thank You cards, and to get our house and settle in. I have stuff everywhere and have the gift list at my mom's house.

  • I just saw that the thank you were shipped out to us so hopefully soon I can get them done and out!

  • I ordered the stamps and the thank yous - we wanted photo card thank yous, so I had to wait until the photographer sent me the photos I wanted (so that way I wouldn't have to wait until the DVD came).  They've been ordered and should be here early next week!

    I'm still waiting on our pictures from the photographer so I can do a photo thank you card. To be honest, I haven't even given any thought to writing thank you's. I know that is bad but I've been so busy with 100 other things that they haven't even crossed my mind :(

  • I'm about 90% done, and hoping to finish the rest this weekend!
  • I addressed all of them... but haven't written in any of the cards... 

     

    I think you have 2 months after you return from the HM.

  • It's my goal to finish them this weekend! I wanted to do a photo card so I had to wait until we got our pictures back. We got our CD the day before we left for our honeymoon so I didn't have time to order the cards until we got back - which was almost a month after our wedding! They came in this week and I've been slowly trying to get them done.

  • We got em done last week. I wanted to get them done early because my mom would start nagging me everyday through email, text, phone calls, and whenever I see her.

  • We're just finishing ours up. Tuesday is one month for us, and I want them all in the mail by then. But I think the technical rule might actually be longer than 2 months. I have a good friend who just finished hers a few weeks ago and she got married last June, so... Haha. I'd hate if I was waiting on picture cards like some of you ladies! We decided not to do those because we had two different couple friends that got married recently and did them, so we didn't want to just do the same thing. But I'm so glad we didn't, because it was nice to have some out even before the wedding!
