I would reorder, but that is just me. I am Type A and have to have everything perfect. If I was a guest, I would notice the typo, but I would not think less of you for it.
I would notice that, but then I'm a writer and English major. Can't you send a message to the vendor explaining the error?
I personally would not give it a second thought. And I doubt others would either. The invitations are already sealed, stamped & ready to go...no need to worry yourself about this.
For me, if it's not on the main invite, I wouldn't care and probably wouldn't even notice!
Most people won't even notice. There are a couple of chain emails that go around challenging you to find the typo, and it is one just like you have: The same word (or words) printed on two lines - and it's hard! Our brains tend to correct such mistakes. Is it really worth the cost and pain? At least it isn't a name, date or time.
In a couple of months you'll probably laugh about it. :)
I'm totally type-A when it comes to typos - and, given your wedding date, would definitely NOT redo. IMO, it's more important to get them out at this point than to redo them. And, it's really not that huge of a mistake (meaning, the point you are trying to communicate is not lost)
I am an english major and a writer as well, I think you will be fine. If the invitations are expensive I wouldn't worry about it. The majority of people won't notice, and its not on the main invite. I figure, every wedding has to have at least one thing go a tiny bit off from the plan, and this would get yours out of the way now in an extremely minor way!
However, if you can afford it easily, I might consider it, more for your peace of mind than anything else.
i doubt many people will notice and if they do i don't think they will care, i think it would be a waste of time & money to reorder them...and since it isn't on the main invite i don't think it matters, i would contact the vendor and ask for some compensation however...
I had to re-read your post to see what the problem was, so I don't think most people would notice.
Haha, I'm just like SaraRocks - I had to read your post TWICE to find the typo. I say you're fine. Seriously, who is going to care about your accommodations card (or think less of you because of it)? I wouldn't worry, but I guess that's just me.
If it were me, I would reorder. Typos are a huge thing for me, to the point where I would have to consider all the other time, effort, and money spent on the invitations something of a waste, because the error is the only impression I'd come away with. It does sound like a huge pain though so I would understand if you chose to just let it go.
Definitely don't re-do them!! The mistake is minor - I think misspelled words are more obvious than a repeated word. Like the poster above, I too had to read it a second time before I picked up on the error - and I'm a stickler for spelling and grammar errors!
Given the date of your wedding, I would not give the typo a second thought and would get those invites in the mail tomorrow morning as originally planned. I guarantee, 80% of your guests (if not more) are not even going to notice.
I wouldn't worry about it.. seriously, I had to reread your post to even figure out what your typo issue was.
Grrrrrrr!!! Don't you just hate that?
I voted "No" before reading your replies. Don't sweat it.
The people who keep invitations usually only keep the main invite and not the other cards anyway. It's not worth the hassle of having to spend extra money and more time. Mail them as is.
I wouldn't worry about it one bit! My sister had a HUGE typo on hers. She said, "we request the honor of you" instead of "we request the honor of your presence"... haha. Major oops.
She laughed about it (she's as far from Type A as it gets), sent it as is, and NO ONE said anything about it. You'll be great. :)
I'm total type A, and just recently I helped my BM put together invitations for her wedding and after 7 adults read them, I was the only one that found the typo "Together with our prents..." Needless to say, she re-did them. Your typo on the other hand isn't as big of a deal. Really! I agree with one of the PP that because they are on different lines, our brains are trained to read a certain way, and I don't think it's as obvious as "prents" Put them in the mail sister and don't worry about it for a second longer!
Seriously, I had to re-read the sentence to find the typo! Especially since it is not all on the same line, people may not notice, and if they do, they'll forget within 2 seconds. Leave it as is and try not to stress about it too much.
A lot of people probably won't even read the accommodation card. You are pretty close to your date, so I would just let it slide.
I think this is a moot point. Hopefully you already realized that you don't have time to reorder and those are well on their way.
Remember, these are going to people who love you and care about you. They are not likely to get all bent about it.

Help!! Here is my situation:
- My invitations are all done, sealed, stamped, and ready to go out tomorrow.
- When I was doing the last one, I happened to notice a typo. It's not on the main card but on the Accommodations card. It reads "Rooms have been have been blocked at...." The print is small and it scrolls down over two lines (so the repeat isn't all on one line), I didn't notice it until just now.
I'm stuck - is it a big deal? Correcting it would mean re-ordering from the vendor, the Accommodations cards plus all new envelopes since I'd have to tear them all open. I'd have to wait for them to arrive and redo everything, and buy all new stamps too since I've already put them on the envelopes.
I personally don't care, but do you honestly (please be honest!) think you'd be a bit underwhelmed if you got a wedding invite with a typo?
