Can you have them redone? Sounds like you're saving some $$ by keeping your original venue on the different day.
I'm a little confused. Did you print the STDs before you signed the contract? If you had already signed the contract, the location shouldn't be able to make you change your date, unless you are breaking the contract (ex. not meeting the minimum number of guests), but that would have been in the contract, so you should have known about that from the beginning.
If it's in your budget, I would just have the STDs redone.
We put down a deposit on the room.. Had not signed the contract yet and still havnt signed one it seems like they dont do a contract at this place until you get your exact head count & menu options!
We are on consultant # 2 at this place monday it will be #3. Seems like they change so quick no one gets there info stright!
I wont be getting them re done they had cost about $3 a piece + shipping :( I will either be sending a note to please save the new date instead or not send them at all
Well what kind of save the dates are they? Like if they're a magnet with your picture on them, I can see people wanting that even though it has the wrong date just because they want a picture of you. But if its a post card (which will likely get beat up in the mail) or something without your picture, I say don't send them You'll save on postage by not sending them, and it's going to be a hassle to try to tell everyone that the date is changed. I think if you do send them, you should include a note in with the STD so they don't book a hotel or flight before you get a chance to email or call them, you know?
I know you probably love your save the dates, but it seems like you're just going to cause people confusion by knowingly sending one with the wrong date. Sorry :(
Oh, I just saw your last post. Even if they won't give you a full contract, tell them because of the earlier confusion, you at least want to sign something which specifies the two things you've had an issue with thus far: the date and the minimum. The absolute last thing you want is for them to come out a week before the wedding and say "uh, remember when I promised you you didn't have to meet that minimum, well I apparently didn't have the authority to do that, and now you owe us a bunch more money." They should understand why you're asking since it's already been an issue.
wow...they seem really unprofessional. i agree with greenleafmountain, make them give you SOMETHING to sign in writing because I can defintely see them screwing you over again as your date nears. In terms of the STD's (I would go hard a**) and make them discount you AT LEAST the amount you paid for the original STD...then order some new ones so as not to confuse your guests. You have to think, ALL of these contracts that we sign our lives away to for our one day, if it were the other way around and you wanted to change your wedding day, your vendors would be coming after you for extra money, you would lose deposits, etc...
I agree with the others - you really need to sign something with them ASAP. I'm an attorney, and I would never have given a deposit without having signed some form of a contract. We signed a short contract when we reserved our venue, then filled out a longer catering order form right before the wedding. Protect yourself and insist on a contract now!
As soon as the new girl starts i will be having them write something for me... I also have saved ALL the emails ive been sent and perfer to communicate via email because i will always have that email proof (we were told because i had proof i was told wrong we would have been able to get deposits back no prob)
As for my save the dates I just found on the site i ordered my STD from they make really cute stickers and i was thinking about ordering STD stickers and just wraping my magnets with them :) only cost about $30
My prob now is will a 3" round sticker cover a 2" square magnet!
I'm gonna echo what @greenleaf said: What kind of STD's are they? Maybe if we knew what type they were we could come up with some creative solutions on how to rework the ones you already have! I'd be happy to help if I can
As far as the venue goes I agree with getting some sort of guarantee in writting stating that they are not going to change the date again. I find that very weird that they don't offer some sort of contract before the exact head count is in...our caterer needed to know the menu and a minimum number of guests. We are able to increase the number of guests but not lower it since the contract is signed. We can also make changes to the menu. Are you sure you can't change the head count after the contract is signed? For me I would need to sign something just so I wasn't going crazy and had some piece of mind.
I think i just figured it out :D It will have to be a different deisgn which stinks it look like a month to pick the one i got. I totally had to just make a 2" square n cut out a 3" circle... So glad my boss is sooo understanding....wedding stuff comes before work.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
January I went and looked at a hotel to have our wedding reception. The boy did not go, he was still trying to convince me to keep the money my parents were giving us (they said you can have X amount do what you want with it) my mom, a good friend and I headed in to check it out. It was so beautifully redone! Every guest room & all the main areas of the hotel I LOVED it. Then we went into the ballroom, it was HUGE way bigger then what we needed but he said no prob we will shut the back 1/3. It was perfect my mom wanted to put down the deposit that day! I still was undecided on what date I wanted (he had both days open) a few days later I went in picked a date and gave him the check.
A few months later he’s getting my contract together. Meanwhile I’ve already got the save the dates ordered. We had a few menu issues then all of a sudden he doesn’t respond to emails. It ended up he doesn’t work there anymore!!
Then I find out that room we booked, it has a minimum and were not close to it. There is another room but its way too small. I decide I just want our money back…. a week goes by the lady tells me if I move the wedding up a week I can have the big room like we were promised. I decided it will just be easier to take it then find somewhere else I loved that much. Were getting married in the Bahamas a month before the original date so it wouldn’t be that big of an issue.
Now what do I do with my 100 save the dates. Pretty much all our guests know what happened. I was planning on sending a note with them anyway. BTW we're a very imformal family!
Should my note now say please save November 27th instead of December 4th? Or just not have save the dates :(
