" I&amp;#039;ve been so terrible about writing thank-you notes -- I still haven&amp;#039;t acknowledged wedding gifts that friends sent me more than two years ago! I feel awful. What should I do? After all this time, your friends will be surprised, if not stunned, to receive thank-you notes, but surely appreciative. Some writing guidelines: Keep them short and upbeat. Avoid dwelling on your lateness or any excuses you may have. Instead, briefly apologize for the delay and tell them how much you love the gift and value their friendship. When it comes to expressing your gratitude, remember that it&amp;#039;s better late than never -- so get busy! Generally, a wedding thank-you note really should be popped in the mail no later than three months from the time the gift was received. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
