awe I am sorry!
Could you maybe ask him to do some of yours (for the people that he knows quite well)?
I hear you. I would take a break. You definitely ARE thankful, and you want to make sure that comes across in your notes! So take your time. Do a certain amount each day, and have it come from the heart. BTW, i realize how easy this is for me to say having not had to do them yet! lol
This is the part that I am NOT looking forward to. I don't think there is an easy way. good luck.
Im sorry! If it makes you feel better, to know that it got done I wrote every single thank you letter and all he had to do was sign his name! I would take a break for a week or so and then plan a night for the two of you to sit down and write thank yous and have a nice dinner after.
Whenever I'm losing a little perspective, and complaining about things that aren't so rough, my sister likes to ask me if my diamond shoes are too tight. Ha!
Not trying to be snarky (I'm in the middle of writing mine too, and it seems endless!), but just try to keep in mind how nice it was for your friends and family to give you gifts, and how much you're going to enjoy using them.
I did most of the notes by myself because my husband is forgetful. We only had about 50 guests and no showers or anything though so it made it a lot easier.
How many notes are you writing? It sounds like your hand is cramped! I say, as long as the thank you notes go out before the Christmas cards, you're okay. Maybe give yourself a bit of a break? It's always harder on the bride, the thank you notes. Why are women always held responsible for the thank you notes? I get blamed when my husband doesn't send one, which hardly seems fair.
I think you have up to eight months althought that seems a bit long to me. We are still waiting on our prof photos to send TYs for people who gave gifts at/after the wedding.
I knew my husband could never be trusted to write a thank you. Finding the address and stamp? I'll be gray by then. Sooo here's what we do. When I have the stack out, he is responsible for coming up with what to say. We've had a lot of fun with this as he's fond of haikus and some of them have been unusable but hilarious. It's hard to think of what to say when if the gift was already on your registry. Here's one that we did use:
"Amy, Amy, Full of class. Thank you for the sweet piece of glass" and so on.
So perhaps he could help in this way or cook dinner or address while you write?

We agreed that each of us would write thank yous for our own relatives and friends. I did a great job before the wedding with shower gifts and gifts coming in before. I just got through a huge stack, and FH hasn't started his yet. Even after doing a TON of thank yous, we each have about the same to go, and am a little frustrated. I am wondering how I have 4 times the amount of thank yous- I have shower gifts plus wedding gifts, my parents invited a bunch of people (so I wrote those), plus a good chunk of his people didn't give us anything (not even a card). Just frustrated and tired of writing than yous!
