We have the same wedding date...haven't sent ours out yet, we just got them in the mail 3 days ago...we're workingn on them this weekend and are sending them out next week with a rsvp date by april 22nd!
I'm a perfectionist too, but don't let it worry you too much...in the end, they get thrown away anyways.
I spelled my DH's grandparents last name wrong. They sent the RSVP back with red lines through the one letter that was wrong and wrote a huge capitol "E" UNDERLINED several times and with exclamation points. It was awful.
@Ellabellaxo:She posted picture on facebook about it?? Ewww.
No worries, at least you got her name right! Right? :)
It's bound to happen, lady! Just have to take it with a grain of salt at this point. Ours are going out next week and I'm sure I'll make some mistake!
i didnt notice the small mistake i made untill they were all sent my mistake was in the address i left an e off at the end of my own town on the invitation in the chuches address none has said any thing so far --------- LAUGH -LIVE -LOVE - ladies it will all be wonderful
@Ellabellaxo: I sent mine out on Thursday and i'm waiting to hear about the mistakes...
@Ms Hedgehog: haha. I can see myself doing this too when we send out our invitations.
@Ellabellaxo: On our Save the Dates I only put my name on the return address. After we had them all done FI asked about his name too. Oops.
That's not too bad! I spelled FI's middle name wrong and only caught it halfway through printing them. We're just sending the incorrect half to my family since they won't know it's wrong and we're sending the correct half to his family :).
Nobody's perfect. While it kind of sucks that she posted a picture of it on Facebook, it's best to just laugh it off. I mean, it's not like you can undo it, and it' a harmless mistake. If that's the worst thing to go wrong, then you are in good shape! :)
I had a freakout with my save the dates. I spelled "Illinois" wrong on more than half the envelopes and on the calendar, I put a "1" instead of "11".
I totaly cried about it at first, but it was a few months ago so I'm over it now. Maybe the same thing will happen with your invtes? You just need time :).
Also, I think I'm going to ask people not to tell me if they see mistakes on our invites. Ignorance is bliss, right?
@firsttimemom: Oh! That's not very nice of them! Geez they could at least have called or just waited to tell you in person.
OP: I also felt quite nervous about ours--what if the traditional addressing offends someone (Mr & Mrs John Smith)? I'm SURE I got someone's name wrong too...eerp! But, in the end, at least they're out. Phew!
who posts something like that on facebook? really??? Don't sweat it. It happens. There's a typo in my invitations but I'm still sending them out and hoping no one notices. Ha!
We ran out of envelopes. I hand-addressed them, and between my mistakes, last-minute additions, and incorrect addresses that were told to me AFTER I had addressed them, we literally had exactly enough. So then when I went through one last time and found a mistake, I had no choice but to send it. There wasn't a way to correct it that didn't look way worse, we were already late, and I was just exhausted. The guest's name was Kathlene and I had written Kathleen. They RSVPed yes, so obviously they weren't too angry. I felt awful, but my exhaustion won out, so much for perfectionism.
That's a little... rude. Clearly it was a mistake and she could have said something to you. I'd feel really embarassed if someone did that.
No worries though, I hardly ever look at my own name on mail I get. The return address is what matters, and even then I just glance at it. No big deal!
@Miss OBG: My mom's name is Lianne Maidenname, and she gets wedding invites to Lee Anne and Leanne all the time as well as to Mrs. Husband'sName. We just laugh at it.
I am so screewed when it comes to my wedding invites. I have ZERO patients for things requiring patience and detail. I should probably hire someone stat. lol
I just mailed my invitations today and at the post office I had them check to make sure I had enough postage.... well each invite required 17 cents more! I'm glad I asked. Now I'm nervous after reading all the posts. I wasnt thinking about possible mistakes. I was too busy thinking about the next item on the "to do" list. oh well, nothing is ever going to be perfect. I wouldnt sweat it.
What a great friend! I'd of had a littttttle chat w/ her.
Anyways don't sweat typos. They happen to everyone. It really isn't a big deal, promise. :)
We printed out invites and I didn't put Mr. in front of FIL's name. So we are sending them to MY side of the family. It says: "Mrs. MIL & FIL". It should have said: "Mrs. MIL & Mr. FIL."
Another thing people might think is a mistake but it really isn't is that I am putting the Mrs. name first unless there were doctors in my family but no one is other than my own father and he doesn't mind having my mother's name first. So it says: Mrs. mom & Dr. dad are inviting....
The reason we did it this way is because the ladies don't have that last name to begin with. It ideally belongs to the man so his name should go in front of it. And the Mrs. goes in front of him.
I realized after our wedding that our RSVP date said 2011 rather than 2010 (e.g. after the wedding)... Maybe that's why so many people were late sending them in!
How so rude of her!!! I mean dont be SO offended that you post it on FB. She should have told you. You should tell her if you havent yet. And i know this reply is months late. But she needs to get over it. Forget bridezilla how about GUEST-ZILLA HAHA. seriosly she owes you an apology!!!And if you dont ask her then tell her I told her she needs to and make sure she reads this post from me/us!!!!!!!!!

Our invitations went out on Thursday and a lot of people got them on Friday. Coincidentally, everyone got the shower invitations on the same day as well! Anyway, my mom and I were up all night assembling the invitations because we knew we were down to the wire. We were exhausted and that's why when we went to drop them off at the post office I was so nervous. I was second guessing myself, worrying, and hoping everything was addressed right. Well, guess what? One of my FSIL's friends got an invitation that said "Mr. Susan M******." Being a perfectionist, I was really upset to hear this, then to make matters worse, when I got home and checked my facebook I saw that she had posted a picture of it. Luckily, she took it well and wasn't offended but I still feel so terrible!!! I'm still upset about it but at the same time I'm trying to laugh it off.
Did you have any mistakes like this?
