You're supposed to send out thank you's ASAP after you receive ANY gift, particularly a wedding! I went to a shower, and didn't get a thank you until AFTER we received the wedding invitation a few months later. And I didn't even get one personally- one note was sent to my mom, and it had my name on it. No matter that we haven't lived under the same roof in 6 years.
That wedding was in July. I received the thank you just last week. To me, that's just too long.
If you have to have a big wedding and get all these gifts, at least have the courtesy to thank people promptly. Particularly when someone purchases something and has it sent to your house- people want to know that you received it!!! Sometimes sales people aren't too swift, and you don't want your $125 vase never getting sent.
sorry, rant there.
