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.

Hear, hear!!
If you don't want to write the thank you's, don't expect any gifts! And if you're mature enough to get married, you should know to get those notes in the mail ASAP. When I got married (on a Friday), all of my thank you notes were in the mail by Monday. I realize that's a tad anal, but I didn't want to put it off until it was too late.
