Whoa, stand down there, buddy! Don't kill the messenger. I don't think it's right, either.
In the past few years, my family has received several thank-you cards 6-9 months after the wedding. We looked it up in an old etiquette book where, back when honeymoons were months long, it wasn't totally unacceptable to send a card after you got back from the honeymoon. Obviously, those days are long gone for several reasons. I've heard many people--coincidentally, the ones with the biggest, fanciest weddings--say, "well, we have a year to get them out!" It annoys me, but it's not uncommon.
