Just need to vent a little!

Tina, on January 8, 2020 at 3:52 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
My FH asked his uncle for addresses for 9 family members (these include the uncle’s children). Of the 9 he gave us we find out after invitations have been mailed that 7 are wrong! Invites were mailed prior to Christmas and at this time only one incorrect one has been returned to sender. We have since found out the six old addresses no longer have forwarding to their new addresses and none of them have come back (this will only happen if the new house owners put the invites return to sender). Which at this time is doubtful. I created and wrote each invitation myself , I’m not even sure I have six left to use! Just frustrated. We have received 1/3 of our rsvps already and of those only 3 are from FH’s side. This is why I personally asked everyone from my side for their addresses! Vent over.

    I'm so sorry! Can you guys reach out to the children directly, instead of going through the uncle?

    See this is what I would have done in the first place, but FH went the easy route. We now have all the correct addresses but I have to create all new invites and spend another $6 on postal stamps. Just frustrating.

    Totally frustrating. Try not to let it get you down though! (Love the dedication of handwritten invites btw)

    Something similar happened to me! My mom messed up two addresses for her friends and my dad messed up 3 of his cousins addresses. Thankfully I figured this out when I sent the save the date and not the invitations. I am crossing my fingers everything goes well for the invitations.

    I’m pretty laid back so I’m trying to let it go, at least we found out before the wedding!

    That is super frustrating, but I'm happy it worked out
