Last weekend, Apple Sauce’s amazing parents threw us an engagement party. We had a fantastic time! Dinner, dancing, cupcakes and all of our friends and family in one place, celebrating with us. The whole thing was the perfect appetizer for the Main Event in September. I hope it whet our guests’ appetites for what’s to come as much as it did ours.
What was especially awesome was people brought gifts! We were completely floored by how generous our families were, and we are so very grateful. This post is about one gift in particular, one that proves the old adage, “It’s the thought that counts.”

This was unfortunate news to me since I’ve always been a believer (and supporter!) of the common fallacy that couples have until their one year anniversary to both receive and send thank you notes for wedding gifts. Oooops! Here are some other tips from our favorite etiquette mentor, Emily Post:

They say you have a year to give a gift for a wedding, but that you should send Thank You’s within a month. What about Thank you notes for your vendors? Is prompt payment and a tip enough? We don’t think so, but unfortunately we’ve left our vendors un-thanked for almost six months. I was great about sending our guests thank you notes within 2-3 weeks of the wedding. For gifts received later, I usually sent the thank you card out the day we got the gift in the mail. We tracked all our gifts and when thank you notes were sent through the WeddingWire feature.
