I'm not really sure as long as they thanked you at one stage it should be fine!!
After all did you give them the gift to make them Happy or to make yourself happy. It is pretty easy to forget some things in the midst of all the things that are going on for newly marrieds. I would just not worry about it.

How long does a bride have to send her thank you notes for wedding gifts that were received before the wedding?
Thank you notes for gifts received before the wedding should go out within two weeks of their arrival. Besides the fact that it's good manners to respond promptly, there's a practical reason for this etiquette rule: finishing them now diminishes the stockpile of un-thanked gifts awaiting your return after the honeymoon. Since notes for gifts received on or after the wedding day should be sent within a month (here you get a little more time), you'll be thankful to have already handled the early arrivers.
