Thank You Notes

michscott1972

Hello Everyone,

i have a problem.  I lost my job last year right before the wedding and money has been extremely tight.  I recently started working again about 1 1/2 months ago.  I didn't have the money to send out thank you cards until now.  How do I handle it?  Please don't judge me.  I am sure that there are others out there like me.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Send them ASAP!  Don't make excuses in the notes for tardiness, just write them and get them in the mail.

Like Loopey said, send them out ASAP!!!!!  A late thank you note is better then no thank you note at all.

[QUOTE]<strong>Yeah, sorry, but I refuse to believe there was no way you could not afford to either go to Walmart and pick up some packages of $6 thank you notes or spend $10 on a package of card stock and make your own TY notes to send.  There was seriously no way to save up $20 at any time over the course of the last 18 months?</strong> Send them now.  Late is better than never.

I was thinking this exactly, but A) I just didn't feel like writing it out and B) nope, no B, I was just being lazy!

Send them out ASAP.

You lost your job before the wedding and not one person gave you a check or cash that would have covered the cost of thank yous? Something is rotten in Denmark. 

Better late than never applies.

<div>Just do it. Doesn't matter what caused the delay. Write heartfelt notes now, though--even if they're short, make sure people know you're not just writing to make yourself feel better but because you truly appreciate having them in your life.</div>

You've been married for a year and could put gas in your car but you can't afford Wal-Mart cards or stamps?   

Send them now!

I agree with the others. It's really crappy that you've waited this long - send them, like tomorrow.

You should have written them on pieces of notebook paper last year if you couldn't afford them.

But, better late than never.  Get them out today.

I don't know much about wedding etiquette but if I got a thank you note that late I would think it was wierd. I personally would not send them this late. If someone asks, it got lost in the mail, or something like that.
