Wedding Invite Mistake

Lmao how did that even happen.....?

That's a big detail. Our wedding is 2 weeks away and we gave so much information in advance, yet people are still baffled about things we made clearly known. You have to spell things out for your guests all the time.

Postcard with "ooopsies, date, time, location, website" and done. Blame wedding brain.

Definitely. I put the wrong date on our Save-The-Dates (2-18-18, instead of 2-17-18), but I knew that the OOT guests would get the right weekend, so I just quadruple checked the date on the invites

@MichiganBride We haven't had that issue with our guests. Maybe because it's a smaller wedding? Pretty much everyone is a relative, close friend, or SO of relative/close friend. I also don't really think that anyone's gonna not see the date on the invite (when they have several other sources of info with the date already) and either be too lazy to verify the correct date or go "Oh man, I guess I'm not going to go to this thing because they really fucked up the invite." I was the maid of honor in a wedding recently and in a group text with the other BMs we were still asking each other the date of the wedding even though we all had STDs, an invite and a website by that point. I trust our guests to accept it as a simple mistake caused my bride and mom brain (I've got a 6 month old). But I do like the idea of just sending something out closer to the time confirming correct date. We didn't include direction cards but I may send some out closer to the wedding and I'll only be sending them to the people who have RSVP'ed yes so I can include correct date too.

Re-print the invitations..

I say reprint, but based on your responses, it sounds like you're looking more for validation than opinions.

I would absolutely, at the VERY least, reprint the ones you haven't sent yet. I understand the date is on your STD's and invites, but I know once I receive the invite, I throw out the STD and replace it with the invite on my fridge. I wouldn't want to have to type in a website URL to remember the date.

For the ones you have sent, get little business cards or post cards made including the date and your reasoning for sending it, like most people here suggested.

Before I sent mine, I had to re-print the invite card of my pocket invitation because I spelled my own fiance's middle name wrong - it literally only cost me like $40 to reprint 60 of them (I got mine printed somewhere more expensive than Vistaprint, so yours shouldn't even be that much).

Resend!!

The date is kind of a big deal. Have them reprinted. I am surprised the printing place/website didn't call you.

I had a melt down when I realized I didn't have the year on my invite (which isn't necessarily THAT important). Thankfully they hadn't been printed yet and it was easily added. The date is important.

I reprinted mine over a much smaller issue (groom's mom wanted all of the parents mentioned on the invite). I would reprint them.

@MrsDrum: I agree with your FMIL

I'd reprint. Eff-ups happen, and your guests will understand.

I think reprinting the invites to include the date is definitely needed.

Reprint, or send out postcard. Do not assume people put STDs on frig.

Definitely reprint. I don't understand why people are giving you such a hard time. Everybody makes mistakes. This can be fixed. It's annoying but something you need to do

I can't understand how that could happen. I mean, a spelling error or typo or something I could understand. But the main purpose of an invitation is the date/time/place...

I'd do a postcard explaining and send that out. ASAP.

@Meagan if you read my original posting, you may see that I indicated that I had no plans to reprint the invitations. I specifically stated that I was curious as to everyone else's thoughts. It seems like the majority feel like I should reprint the invitations, but, as I've explained, I have my own rationale about why I'm not going to reprint them and that rationale has never changed. But thanks for your opinion!

@Kelsey what you're saying makes sense, but my guests are going to have to access the website to RSVP anyway. I have a lot of information on the website that was not appropriate to put on the invitation so I prefer that people access the website. I personally keep both the STD and the invite when I receive wedding invitations. Maybe I'm just sentimental! But I've spoken to my friends and they all still have our STDs up because they were magnets and a really cool design with elements from Harry Potter incorporated into it.
