Hello Pretty Ladies,
I need to vent and my FH does not understand my frustration so I decided to come here becasue I know you ladies will feel me.
I’m so annoyed about my invitations. Last week she asked me what i was doing for invitations and I told her I would have some ordered by the ed of the week. A day later she texted me and told me to send her all of the information she was going to just go ahead and get them. I decided against it because I already knew what I wanted so I told her no thanks. So she calls my FH having a fit, asking why I don’t let her help, she was going to to make the invites for free. Well this changes thing, she never explained she was making them and definitely not for free so I said fine, she could do them. Friday I emailed all of the wording I wanted to use and included 4-5 examples of what I liked. So I emailed her Tuesday to see how the invites were coming along becasue I need to get them sent out ASAP but I didn’t hear from her until today. *SIGH* The invites are horrid! She changed the wording, color and they’re just plain ugly. I showed my cousin, who will always tell me the truth, just to make sure I wasn’t going off the deep end but she agrees.
So basically I’ve wasted an entire week waiting on something that is terrible, I should have just followed my first mind and purchased the ones I wanted. Sorry it’s so long I just needed to vent a little.

Wait… who is the “SHE” doing the invites? Please don’t say it’s your Future Mother-In-Law… (cringing…)

Are they really that bad? Or are they just different than what you wanted? I definitely understand how that’s beyond annoying – especially when you found what you wanted and gave her ideas… she definitely took her own creative ideas and ran with it…. 🙁 Is Fiance ok with you not using them?

I would love to post a pic but I don’t know how to edit the information.

this may not make you feel better, but 98% of your guests won’t remember the invites. Sooooo maybe just don’t let her get to you this one time?

Ugh, that totally sucks! I know it’s hard when you have your mind set on something; however, I am noticing that your wedding is in about 6.5 weeks, which means your invites need to be sent out asap. Do the invites have all the correct information (even if you don’t particularly love the wording)? If so, I would say just suck it up and send them out or you’re running a very real risk of not giving people enough time to rsvp and make appropriate arrangements.
In the grand scheme of things, invitations are just a means of conveying to people the what, when, and where of the day. Most people throw them away anyway. It’s definitely not something to get all worked up over and if it comes to having the invites of your dreams or making sure your guests have ample time to make sure they can attend, I would say the latter wins every time. Still though, sorry to hear about the stress you’re going through.

@oracle: They are definitely that bad :(, like I said I even checked with someone else just to make sure I wasn’t over exaggerating. The problem is all FH see is the free price tag but I can not send these invites out. Thankfully they’re not printed.
@CupCakeMeg: Thank you! I’m on it.

@Ree723: I know. My wedding is very small, only about 35-40, all close family and friends so we pretty much know they’re coming. I’m just sending the invite for the most part as a keepsake because most of my fam that’s coming actually save invites.
