    Our invites came back from the printer today and I realized that I ordered it on "text" stock rather than "cover" stock. Talked to the printer and they gave us a small discount to reprint them. But still, I can't believe I made such an error and I feel terrible that we have to pay another $170 to reprint them. 

    Just wanted to vent since this ruined my day. 

    Anyone else have a setback that cost them $$?

    Aw don't feel bad!  That's a very easy mistake to make and in the big picture $170 is a drop in the bucket!  Think of all the girls who change their minds on something way more expensive like a dress or a venue!  Don't beat yourself up : )

    Bummer, but good think it was only $170!

    Did the printer send you a proof and you approved it? I feel like this is something the printer should have picked up on before printing.

    The printer sent us a proof but it was on Epson paper, it was just for us to check the color quality.

    I did get a postcard printed with them and in the comments asked that the two pieces should "match."

    Yeah, I think an attentive printer would have called to say something like, "By the way, this doesn't look like right!"

    but I should have been more attentive myself.
