My daughter just informed me that she discovered a box of thank you notes that were written but not mailed. Looks like most of her thank you's They have been married now for two years. Do they mail them as is? Re-write them with an apology? Ignore the situation, and not worry about it? Her husband seems to feel it's embarassing and wants to send a "generic letter" (like a Christmas letter) rather than a thank you - what do you think?
Your advise is appreciated,

Re: [diannem] really late thank you notes

Dear Diannem,
This is embarrassing. It may be best to open each letter and include a little note about the mix up. The tape on each envelope will help each recipient understand that there was a mix up.
It is better to send the real thank you notes than a generic letter to explain. People made an effort to give them heart felt gifts.
