Late Thank You Note??

Hi Ladies, 
   In looking for our Christmas Ornaments, I stumbled across a stack of our wedding cards, one of which had a GC for a local restaurant I though we had lost.  I remember receiving them from friends of ours, but couldn't remember if they were for an engagement gift, shower or for the wedding.  I found them in a card congratulating us on the wedding from her and her husband.  
   I could swear that I haven't written them a thank you note, but my thank you list says I did write one.  Our wedding was back in March.  Is it too late to send one apologizing for my way late note/thanking them, going with my gut that I forgot this one note, or do I go with the list that says I already sent them one??  I'm not sure how my list is wrong, but I was 100% sure I hadn't sent one until I saw that list.  I'm feeling quite bad about it since I made sure to get all of our other TY notes out in the coupe of weeks following the wedding.  Thanks for the input

    Are you close enough to the friend that you could just ask?  I'd probably call (or text, whatever you normally do) and just ask if they received a thank you note from you.  Regardless of their answer you can explain that you just stumbled upon their gift and for some reason just had a gut feeling that you hadn't sent one; and if you're right you can go ahead and get one in the mail and if you're wrong no harm done.

    I would send it. If you already sent one, they will just think its a bit funny but they would be unlikely to best upset about getting two. And if you didn't, then its good you are now.

    I agree.  I would reach out to her and let her know what happened.  I would find it strange to receive a TY card 9 months later (even more so if you already sent her one.)
