Just here to complain

It could be worse. At least you know now before the seating chart and stuff?

I went to a wedding a couple years ago, my friend who's named Jenais was spelled JEANS......yes, jeans. Everyone was calling her jeans for the rest of the night. And another friend of mine was spelled wrong on the seating chart as well. I find this more embarrassing than the invitation cause the whole world is seeing it.

It's okay, it happens. Just make sure it's right for the rest lol

Well that makes sense. Wow that's a lot of people. We have about 40 coming from another province but was planning on sending them out at the end of the month we the deadline sept 13, month before the wedding.

Well, we have 250 people for our wedding - with about 50 coming from 5 hours north of the city. Plus we have a 2nd wave of invites we want to send out if we get no's so we ask that they let us know by july 5th, then we send out the second wave and ask they rsvp by sept. 5th which is a month before our Oct. 5th wedding.

It sucks but don’t redo it. Mistakes happen. I would just make a joke about it later. One time this couple spelled a name wrong (they added an e to the last name) and during their speech they said something like “ the guest list is done but we have a couple E’s leftover. What should we do with them?” “Just stick them in someone’s name, no one will notice”. It was a good laugh and this couple seemed to enjoy it too.
I also sent out save the dates with the wrong year (so the wedding was in the past). We then sent out another email saying it was the practice round and we will have all our ducks in a row for the invitations and won’t send people to a different city for our wedding. I was stressed about it for awhile but I can laugh about it now.

Wait you are getting RSVP's already? I haven't even sent mine out yet and we both get married in the same month. Guess I need to get on that.

Ok now that IS bad, and yet kind of funny too. At least it's not on the seating chart.

Heck, I just received an RSVP via email - and she spelt not only my FH's name wrong, but MY own name wrong!!!! It's on the dang invite.... (His is Kael - she spelt it Kale, min is Tori - she spelt it Tory)

I am with you on the not really worried part, I get it's frustrating but at the same time, people misspell names all the time.

If its not an address that's wrong I wouldn't worry. most you can do is apologize to them if they say anything but send them anyways, no ones perfect

This is something I am sure you will laugh at after all is said and done. This is something I could see my parents doing as well, but after hearing this story will try my best to not let this happen!

I am wishing you a smooth ride for the remainder you have left!!!

Its hard to believe your mom would let you know so late and rather hard than usual. It could have been smoother and earlier to hear that there were mistakes and correct them before you send them out. What have you chosen to do to avoid all the spelling mistakes on all the cards?

Are you able to get Minted to reprint the invitations making the corrections and send out to you without charging you? I would hope they have great service and say no problem we will take care of you.

Oh no!! that is very frustrating! Are you able to place a new label on top of the old one with correct spelling?

First of all .......... "ken.you.nawt." Dead.

That sucks.. did you tell her that yes you haven't mailed them but they've been printed.... she should pay for 10 new invites.. I would be sooooooooo annoyed... 10 is a lot.

I sent out my invitations already and the rsvps are starting to come back. Based on an RSVP I got back I misspelled a name. I dont think it's a big deal, they didnt say anything but just spelled it correctly on the RSVP. Maybe for the seating plan just triple check those names to make sure they are spelled correctly. But if it's just an envelope a label would be an easy fix too.

Wow!!! So frustrating.
Some people may not notice it, but you could always just put a label over like the other ladies have said. They won’t know exactly how it was supposed to look

View quoted message I would just send them and place the blame where is belongs if anyone says anything..

Omg! I share in your annoyance!

can you just make a new label and stick it on the envelope?

Honestly????

See at this point I would

A) see how much time/money it would cost to fix it

B) not care and send them out and if people questioned it I would say all I know is that I typed what I was given and I apologize if there was a spelling error. (As long as the error isn't on the address part and only the name)

I would have lost my mind!!
Stuff like this has been happening to be my entire planning process so I get how you feel.

Ugh that sucks!! She really should have told you ahead of time!

Is it just the addressed envelopes that are wrong, or the actual invites/inserts themselves? If it's just the envelopes, you could always put a label over the misspelled name - it won't look as pretty, but most people probably won't care/keep the envelopes.
