    My invitations went out this weekend and I LOOOOVE them. We did the DIY thing and they are far beyond my expectations. But my mom just received hers in the mail and noticed a mistake! One the accommodations insert, we accidentally put the same phone number for two of the hotels.

    Fortunately, the hotel that got the wrong phone number is the lowest budget option that honestly, most people aren't going to choose, and you can book online (the people who are most likely to stay there are our younger friends on strict budgets, and they're more apt to book online anyway.) But I can't help but be a little sad - I thought they were perfect! =(

    Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. Just needed to exclaim my dismay to a community of people who would actually get it! Did any of you discover any mistakes on your invitations AFTER they were put in the mail?

    Aw, bummer. That's not too bad though, it could have been worse.  I received a Christening invitation earlier this year with the completely wrong address to the banquet hall. My cousin had to e-mail everyone and let us know! So at least yours is manageable!

    aww dont worry about it.  Most people will just google the name of the hotel for the number (or ask you really) without looking at the number on the insert.  Tons of ppl did this with ours, its like hmm why do we even include the info??

    I bet most people will refer to the card but then search online for their own accommodations. So I wouldn't stress about it too much.

    Aw no worries though, it's not too bad! Hopefully people will just google the number if they want to stay there

    Sorry to hear about that. My sister-in-law got hers back and as we were assembling I noticed they spelt her name wrong. She had them for months but never bothered to look... Crystal came out as Crystsal! She didn't care.

    Don't worry about it. We accidentally put the number of a nursing home on our insert card instead of the hotel's number (they were one digit off). I only heard about it from one person, so clearly people figured out how to book anyway!

    Poop! No worries, I'm sure everyone can easily locate the phone number to the second hotel so don't stress yourself too much. On my invites, my FI's mom's name is prefixed with Ms. instead of Mrs. so hopefully no one will notice and forgive me and not think I was being disrespectful! Yikes! We'll see once everyone receives their invites.

    Thanks for the kind words ladies! I'm really not stressed about it...just bummed that after 80 million re-reads, a mistake STILL got through. Thats funny about the nursing home number, @lili316! I hope your guests didn't think you had set up some really strange accommodations for them!
