    I know it seems daunting but the sooner the better. Set a goal of writing like 10 per night, and get your FH to help, if you don't want him to write the card he can tell you who gave what gift to help speed things up.

    I would start working on them as soon as possible! I'm also using wedding photos for mine so it will be a bit after the wedding, but I'm hoping for as soon as possible!

    Definitely start working on them now and start sending them out as you get them done. I haven't had to do my wedding thank-you cards yet, but my shower ones were awful to write lol.

    I would personally do it right away but in general I would think 3-5 months- technically I have heard its up to a year- I have gotten it a year later and honestly felt like okay why even bother at that point.

    Start writing them out right away so that you can get them in the mail without waiting. Another thing to do is to print out the address labels if they have been saved ready so when the card is written, place the label on the card.

    Generally its 3 months time to send out unless you didn't receive them as fast as you did.

    We just got thank you cards last month for a January wedding. Depending on how long your photos take to get back, it could be 6 months. But get them out ASAP! I always like personal cards rather than generic ones so it takes more time but it also means a lot more.

    Get them out as soon as you can. The general etiquette rule is that your guests should receive them within 3 months of your wedding (or 3 months from when you return from your honeymoon if you went on one right after your wedding).

    Seeing as how your wedding has come and gone - I would obviously say the sooner the better.

    Most people say to get them out within 3-4 months though (at least people that I have asked).

    I would get them all out of the way and over with! I would mail them out within the week (unless you’re going on a honeymoon), then the following week.
