I have been pregnant and unusually sick (and in the hospital) since I married in June of this year. What is good wording for the thank you cards??? Short wording - since I am writing them by hand....
Something along the lines of "Sorry it's taken us so long to send you this note, but we wanted you to know we loved the <insert item here>." Perhaps include something specific about the item, i.e., we use it all the time (table linens), we hope to use it at our next family gathering (formal dishes), etc.
A thank you only really needs two sentences - a line for "thank you" and a line saying why you like the item.
So yeah Our wedding was in October. Its Easter week and not all of my Thank You cards are out. Either I find some magical as yet unknown reserve ...
I got married last year May, and I never did the thank you cards. I know it's pretty horrible, but I kept forgetting and pushing it back. Now the dilemna is should I bother sending them out, and if I do should I explain why are something? Please help!
According to an etiquette professional, I can't remember her name, who was on Oprah Winfrey some years ago. . . It's never too late to send a thank you card.
There was a couple on the show that found unsent thank you cards in their garage ten years after their wedding, and she told then to send then anyway.
I retired one year ago November 1, 2007. I was given a very nice dinner and gift. Due to family illnesses and many unforeseen problems since I retired I have not had a chance to write my Thank You cards out and wish to do so. However, I am not certain how to express my Thank You with it being very late. Could you assist me on how I could word my Thank You for participating in my dinner as well as donating toward a gift. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Just go ahead and write a Thank You note. Better late than Never. The fact that you have remembered it after around a year will make people realize that you still miss them and care for them and you are thankful for them for throwing you such a lovely party. In the end just write a sorry note, explaining your reason for such a late reply. Don't make the sorry note too big than the Thank You note, then it will look like you are more Sorry and less Thankful.
This happened so quickly, I am still in shock and behind in my thank you cards. Need to put in paper and don't really know how since it has been awhile. The unexpected loss of my sister has nearly put me over the edge. There is really no excuse for being this behind on my thank you cards. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Blessings to all.
I am so sorry for you losses and I don't think anyone who knows the circumstances would be angry with you.
You might try something like this , the (insert your family's name ) would like to thank everyone for the kind remembrances of ( then list your dad and sister's names).
Thank the pallbearers, the ministers/priests/rabbis/imams who conducted the services, the ladies of the church if they put on the lunch, special friends who were helpful and there for you.
Your kindnesses and condolences at this sad time in our lives is very much appreciated . Signed (insert your family's names)
I 've written for papers and had to do memorial thank yous so I hope that helps.

The silver lining in Thierry Henry's hand ball
PARIS — Thank you, Thierry Henry. If nothing else, your cheating against Ireland has shown that ordinary folks — those who are passionate about soccer and those who are not — remain, by and large, decent.
In the wake of the shameful hand ball by France's captain that set up the goal that put his nation into the World Cup, it would have been easy to draw depressing parallels with our troubled era.
Fraud on Wall Street, dishonesty in government and, on a chill night in Paris, deviousness on the field of play — a place where, ideally, those human weaknesses are meant to be set to one side.
Deceit is everywhere, the spirit of fair play is dead, we could have concluded before deciding that, since everyone else is doing it, we should start cheating, too. On our taxes, for instance, or in a card game with our kids.

They say you have a year to give a gift for a wedding, but that you should send Thank You’s within a month. What about Thank you notes for your vendors? Is prompt payment and a tip enough? We don’t think so, but unfortunately we’ve left our vendors un-thanked for almost six months. I was great about sending our guests thank you notes within 2-3 weeks of the wedding. For gifts received later, I usually sent the thank you card out the day we got the gift in the mail. We tracked all our gifts and when thank you notes were sent through the WeddingWire feature. But because I was so focused on thanking those that gave us something, our vendors got the short end of the stick. Then I was sending thank you notes for friends helping us move, for housewarming gifts, etc. I kept putting the vendor thank you notes off.

I sent fruit baskets on the holidays. I sent thank you notes, even if belated. What time I wasted! My grandmother was a writer of epic thank-you notes.
