We are planning to send a invite to them too in the hopes of getting a letter. How far in advance did you send yours? The artical I read said 8 weeks, but i'm noy sure about that.
That is SO cool - I wish I had done tha but we totally ran out of invites!
sweet! i sent some one to them as well, so hopefully we will get that surprise, too =)
Wow! I didn't even know you could do that, that is so cool!!!
YAY, that's great!!! I sent mine a couple of months ago and have been patiently waiting :) How long did it take for yours to come??
That's great news! I sent mine in ages ago and figured that Barack and Michelle had just blown us off. :)
For those who want to know how to do it... Send an invitation to
The Honorable Barack Obama and Mrs. Obama
The White House
Greetings Office Rm. 39
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, DC 20500
I sent an invitation to the protocol office of the White House at "The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500". We sent our invitations at the end of April, and I just received the letter today. They must have a big backlog.
I've done some research since I initially posted, and the signatures may be made by a very sophisticated autopen, though it has regular paper bleed as if it was signed by hand.
The insignia is letterpressed and the envelope was hand addressed by someone with gorgeous handwriting. I'll post pictures later, but right now Mr. DG and I are going to make a priority ice cream run!
Very cool!! You not only have the autograph of a president, but a Nobel Peace Prize winner, as well!
Yeaaaaahhh, that is awesome!!! :) If I were the first lady, I would LOVE opening all of the cocol wedding invitations that come every day!!!
Oooh, If bf and I get married before he is out of office, I will have to do this.
Then I will have to frame it and give it to my mother... she would love it.
That is awesome!!! My FI has his Audacity of Hope autographed. But that is super cool! We have to do that!
What a wonderful idea...
I doubt he would come to an Australian wedding (well, not that we know when it is going to be) and our prime minister is an absolute sleeze! Maybe we could invite Liz? (Queen Elizabeth II for those non-commonwealth WBers out there!)
That's pretty cool! I have been wanting to do that. I guess it will have to wait until my move this week.
That is really cool! I'm laughing right now because my FH and I are republicans and voted for the other guy, so we would never send the president an invite, but it is a very neat idea!
that's so incredible! We are definitely going to do that! So exciting that you got your letter! What an awesome keepsake!
This is awesome!! I'm going to send my invitation out today. Thanks!
yay! I sent an invite to them back in August! I hope I get a signed certificate too!
I found out that you can fax the invitation too. I don't know if this is the current fax number but it's worth a shot. (202) 395-1232
Also, the same site said that you can send one to the Queen of England too.
Oh, oops, missed this part, non-british citizens will not get a response.
Wow that is awfully cool!!
It's been almost five years... but maybe we should send away for our Presidential congrats!
I don't know how I didn't see this before but I just wanted to say HOW COOL! Can't wait to see the pictures!
I wish I had thought of that! Think they would send a congrats on being already married lol?
At one point they also did birthdays for someone turning 100- my mom was going to do it for her grandfather but..... he died at 99.

We finally got a signed wedding congratulations from the President and Michelle Obama! I am stunned because it was signed in real ink. The paper had a fair amount of bleed... I can't believe we actually got a response and that I now have genuine autographs from the President and First Lady!
