Definitely send them! Yes, it's embarrassing, but it's the right thing to do. A late thank you is better than no thank you. It's not like they're going to forget that you didn't thank them until they see the note.
You already know the answer-write the thank you notes.
It takes less time to write the note- even including an apology for taking so long -than it took for your guests to shop, wrap and deliver your gift.
I would send out the thank you notes. I have been known to procrastinate on all kinds of things and feel that it continues to bother me until I do something about it. I would say something like, "please forgive the delay in sending my note to thank you for sharing in our special day and for the beautiful (whatever)." Just force yourself to sit for 2 hours, write your heartfelt words and get those puppies in the mail.
I agree, you definitely SHOULD send them.
That said, if it were me, I know I wouldn't. But I'm a terrible example, don't follow me!!! Do as I say, not as I would do, hahaha...
Send them!!!
I went to TWO weddings, both sisters and they didnt send out thank you cards. TO THIS DAY i still think about how awful it was (mostly bc i was a broke student eating very little and doing nothing...but STILL got them a gift) NO THANK YOU...yeesh. If they gaveme one NOW (5 years later) I would be happy!!!! :)
So send one out, people will make comments about how late it was but i can bet they are making comments anyways about how they havent got one at all. SEND THEM PLEASE!!! 
Yes, send them and send them as soon as possible. As the other said a late thank you is better than no thank you.
Still send them. I went to the wedding of a high school friend and didn't receive a thank-you from her until around a year later. A few months after the wedding, I was irritated that I had never gotten a TY, but when I did receive it, I was like, better late than never.
I missed a few shower thank you notes, and didn't end up sending them late because things got crazy and then the wedding was there. There were a few that it was difficult to tell if they were shower or wedding gifts since they were sent to the house. I just send a wedding gift thankyou for those ones.
I would send them. Better late than never.
Yes, send them. It sucks because you arent going to be able to shake that feeling, but honestly I think its okay. People understand that things get hectic and I always think its better late than never! Dont beat yourself up over this - stuff happens!
LOL! I would never have ever sent ANY thank you notes for ANYTHING if my mom hadn't made me... As in she got a box of thank you notes, a pen, a list of people who sent stuff, and pulled me over to the table and sat me down. Not because I didn't want to thank them (I mean, I either said thank you in person or over the phone), but because I'm a horrible procrastinator. (I got a gift for a great aunt four years ago it's still on my bookcase, packed, with two letters.) But yeah, send them.
I agree -- send them. Just include a little note about how you know it's no excuse, but time sort of got away from you and that the lateness of this card is in no way indicative of the gratitude you felt. I think most people are much more sympathetic to procrastination than outright rudeness. The whole 'better late than never' thing...
Definitely send them. Thank yous fall into the "better late than never" category. Things get crazy after a wedding and the bride and groom go back to their normal lives. It happens. Just send them out and make sure they sound sincere. :)
Send them! You will be happy you did. Write a little sentence about I apoligize for the delay in not having these out sooner. The funny thing is that I bet this doesn't bother your husband a bit :)
Send them! I think pinkrokker phrased it well. And think of how GOOD you will feel once they are finished! :)
I agree, write a few lines apologizing for the delay, and let them know in no way is it reflective of your gratitude for the gifts. A late thank you is better than no thank you. We attended a wedding about 6 months before our wedding. We did not receive a thank you for the gift until about a month after we had mailed out our thank you's. I think that receiving my thank you prompted the bride to write her thank yous! In all fairness to that bride, her MOH passed away a week after the wedding in a car accident. I can't imagine coping with that sort of tradgedy right after such a happy time.
You really need to write them and include an apology for having them be almost unforgivably late. I went to the wedding of my brother and sister in law 5 months ago and still no thank you. Believe me people do notice, especially the ladies. They took the time and spent the money on a gift for you guys, that fact that you haven't sent a 10 cent card is hard to overlook. Send it now and let them know you know it's ridiculously late and you are sorry but you appreciate it so much that they were a part of your special day and you love their gift.

I cannot BELIEVE I put myself in this situation but here I am...just over a year since our wedding and I still have not sent thank you notes to many of our wedding guests. I got notes out to all of my extended family and very close family friends within 3 months of the wedding, but then procrastinated like crazy on the rest and and now feel like a horrible newlywed (as I should). I was very timely with the thank-yous for my showers, bachelorette party, etc. but really dropped the ball on this.
So I am looking for some advice from you ladies - trust me, I am well aware that I am a pretty horrible person for doing this so I don't need confirmation there :-( Basically I am asking: Should I still send them? My gut tells me yes, but on the other hand it has been so long at this point that I don't want to notes to just serve as dredging up feelings of anger at not receiving a note sooner.
Please tell me your honest recommendations! Looking for serious advice here.
