Keep pursuing Thank-You notes?

What should I do?

I sent out Thank You notes about a month after our wedding, (I would have done so sooner but being military and in the middle of a move and training I was happy with when I got them out and didn't feel like I broke etiquette). But now since so many of our friends are military and in the middle of their own training, we are receiving Thank You cards back with return to sender, unable to forward stamps. I have re-routed a couple notes after asking for updated addresses. But others have not responded to my inquiries of their new address, and another note came back over Christmas and I misplaced it.

How long do I keep pursuing people whose thank-you notes have been returned to me? And the misplaced one was for a groomsman who doesn't feel a need for receiving a thank you card...should I still re-write him one and send it? What is the proper etiquette for this?

I feel bad because I used the same set of addresses for our christmas cards and I know I will be getting some of those back too come January.

  • I would just shoot them an email saying that the address you have is no longer current. You tried to send along a card but it got returned. Ask them for a new address and also mention how much you loved their gift and thank them in the email. If they don't respond within a couple of weeks, don't worry too much. You tried. For the GM, did he say "don't worry about sendng the card"? If so, just make sure to thank him verbally or shoot him an email thanking him. If he didn't, I would try to re-write it.
  • I agree with PP. I would email and call everyone once, explaining what happened and thanking them verbally/via email. If I didn't hear back, I would assume all is ok and feel that I'd done my due diligence.
