Hi,

i have a dilemma and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I got married in Jan 2016. Our special day was nothing short of perfect from the moment we started planning, right through to the end of our wedding day.

After we returned from our honeymoon, my husband and i, had planned to send off all of our "Thank You" cards asap, as is common etiquette and done by the bride.

Well, i am very embarrassed to say that whilst i did write all cards out and seal all envelopes ready to be sent, i actually forgot to send all the cards!

I only realised this morning, when a few of our guests informed me that they didn't receive a thank you card from us and this got me thinking.

I then went to our bedroom cupboard, where i keep much of my important paper work and lo and behold, in the back, there they all were! I could have passed out!

I had a serious lapse in memory and my husband must have assumed that i sent them all, so he never got back to me regarding them.

I can't tell him, because i know he'll be very disappointed that i didn't send them and i can't tell my parents for the same reason.

I still wish to send them all, attached with a sincere apology, but firstly, i really require female advice on this one, as i don't know if my suggestion is ok.

(I guess i'm worried that all my guests will be talking, saying that we're rude mannered for not thanking them for their gifts and their presence on our special day and that they'll really judge me if i send them now, after so many months.)

Thank you in advance!

I apologize that you havent received a thank you card from us for coming to our wedding, we didn't get round to thanking everybody or sending out the cards as we were busy, and only came to the realisation we hadn't.

This is all you need to say, problem solved.

Wish you luck.

I f they're already sealed in a fancy envelope, mail as is. You can write s short note on an index card and mail that ASAP. That will be fine. It's OK to tell them you thought you mailed them. Your previous character will tell them it was an honest mistake
