AIBU no thank you after two months

We went to a wedding over two months ago. They asked for money, which the DH refuses to do at weddings as he feels it is crass. Especially as this couple were very well off.

So we got them some very tasteful gifts which were appropriate to their hobbies. However we haven't had a thank you.

Surely after over two months this should have been forthcoming?

I'd rather receive a prompt thanks with no photo than a tardy one with a photo enclosure that likely will be glanced at and pitched.

As to busy "getting organized" or whatever, that's lame. In other words prioritizing their own issues ahead of thanking the people who spent time, effort and $$ celebrating with them.

Another reason for late thank you - the gift cards got dislodged, and they're trying to subtly bring it up in face to face conversations with people who were there so they can try to figure out who gave what

Yeah sure in hindsight a thankyou without a photo is better, but when you've already paid for photo thank yous and you're being assured weekly that they're on their way… you don't know that that's hot air and it'll be another 2 months

Good grief, another modern wedding thing that some people have got swept along into.
No-one has to wait for a professional photo for goodness sake. In this digital age, everyone at the wedding will have instant snaps they can send you electronically at the drop of a hat. Either get cards/letters printed, or print them out yourselves. Or, here's an idea, just buy some notepaper and write a short note on that!
It would also be a pretty unusual wedding where you had to write 120 notes. Surely most people come as part of a couple or part of a family, which would at least halve the number of notes compared with number of guests.
