Wedding Thank You etiquette

A few weeks after our wedding DH was hurt in a very serious accident. For a while, he was bed ridden and we thought he would never recover. Over time & therapy he has healed and gone back to work. Chat Icon
With all that was going on we never ordered our Thank You's. We finally got them but our 1year anny has passed. I am def going to write personal messages to each person but I was wondering if I should also include a pre printed message explaining what happened and apologizing for the tardiness of the Thank you.
Obviously, our immediate family & close friends know what happened. This is more for the friends of our parents and extended family members whom our parents might not of spoken to.

What do you think?

TIA!

I think if you really feel like you want to explain it, that's a great idea, but I don't think it's necessary.

Sorry for the non-answer

I think if you're going to explain it, it should be hand written.
but that's just my opinion since i don't like pre-printed stuff in thank you notes.

glad to hear things are ok for you guys now Chat Icon

I dont think an explanation if necesary. I have to say GOOD FOR YOU for still takign the time to write them. Many people would just ignore them at this point.

And Im sure your close family and friends know what has been going on in your life.

I think if you're already hand writing them just throw in a quick sentence explaining the circumstances and that should be good enough.

In light of the situation, and the fact that you're still going ahead with thank you notes (which I think is the right thing to do) anyone who doesn't like it can go scratch! Chat Icon

I don't think a printed explanation is necessary esp. if most people know the situation.

I would write a quick one liner explaining and apologizing for the delay.
