When do you start bugging letter writers

Anyone have any idea when I should start bugging my letter writers? I asked for letters from three faculty in late July. One has already submitted his letter and it's available on ERAS, but the other two have not. I sent them thank you cards in midAugust and am now just waiting. Any suggestions? Some of the programs I applied to state they'll only review your application once it's complete starting this month.

It's not too early to call the office and inquire about your letters. Generally, people wait to send thank you cards after the letter of rec has been received.
