| 1. Just an FYI....it's not rude of them to ask if their gift arrived OK. If everybody else has gotten their notes and they havn't it's a pretty logical conclusion to assume the gift was lost in trasnsit. They want to make sure that didn't happen since they spent good money on it. Better late than never. I would include something about WHY those twenty or so folks are getting their notes months after everbody else. I'm sure they will be understanding. If possible I would even try to do a personal phone call rather than the note. "Hi soandso, It's Judy. I just wanted to say there was a little bit of a mix-up when I imported my lists so not all of our Thank You notes made it out properly. I was calling to make sure that since you may have been one of the names Mark and I were able to express how much we love that toaster you gave us. We use it for breakfast every morning. It was so great seeing you at the wedding. (If possible insert a personal memory of something they did/wore at the party here). Sorry for the delay and your understanding! |

I would tell them how embarrassed you are and apologize but explain what happened and how wonderful they are for taking the time out to enjoy your special day.Dear Mr and Mrs Smith, I want to truly apologize for the delay in expressing my gratitude for the gift you have presented us with. We were experiencing technological difficulities and were unaware of the absent addresses blah blah blah... I dont think it is too late. Peopole always want to be acknowledged but just apologize and say how grateful you are for the wonderful coffee maker they bought you  It encourages you to wake up every morning ha ha!!! |

| I would still send the thank you notes out, but I would also include a hand written note explaining why you are sending them so late. |

| Definatly still send them. In the notes, just mention that you are sorry it took such a long time to get them out, but there was a bit of a mix up. People will understand. Just make sure you get them our A.S.A.P. (contrary to what some people say, you do not have a year to send them out, you need to do that immediately, however, people do have up to a year to give you a gift) ( I just read a whole wedding ettiquite book last week) |

| send them out, and just apologize for the delay in sending them. Just don't wait any longer.Don't worry about it. I just got a Thank you card about 2 weeks ago from a wedding that was in the beginning of September. It's all good. |

| Absolutely send them out! It wasn't rude of the guest to ask if you had received the gift or not. They didn't know. I would get the twenty written and sent out asap. I wouldn't mention anything about them being late because technically you have a year after the wedding to get your thank you notes written because gifts can come in that long after the wedding. So just get them written and make sure they are gracious and unique.I got mine out before we left on our honeymoon which turns out was a good thing because our financial advisors mentioned to my father that I only thanked them for the salt and pepper mills and not the island. Well I only thanked them for the S&P because that's all we had gotten. If they hadn't have gotten the thank you note and asked my father, we never would have known there was a huge part of the gift missing. They did some searching and by the time we got back from our honeymoon, it was there waiting for us. Needless to say, I wrote them a second thank you note. But that's why the people asked if you had gotten the wedding gift or not. Sometimes they don't get delivered or not all of the gift gets delivered. |
