Common questions
Is it ever too late to send engagement wishes?‹
Absolutely not! While it's ideal to send wishes promptly, a heartfelt message, even if belated, is always appreciated. Your cousin will value the sentiment more than the timing.
What's the best way to apologize for the delay in my message?‹
A simple, sincere acknowledgment of the delay is usually sufficient. Phrases like 'Sorry this is a bit late,' 'My apologies for the tardiness,' or 'Better late than never!' work well. Then, shift quickly to your heartfelt congratulations.
Should I include a gift even if my wishes are late?‹
Including a gift is a personal choice and not mandatory, especially if your wishes are quite belated. However, if you wish to, it can be a lovely gesture. A thoughtful card with your sincere message is always enough on its own, so do what feels right for your relationship.
