Wrong day of week on invitation, correct date.... what do i do???

This is tricky because as a guest id probably just think you messed up the date and not the day of the week. Is it possible for you to reach out to the guests in another manner outside of reprinting invites?

Oh gosh, what a snag! I honestly think your best bet is to contact the company you ordered your invitations through and see if they will reprint and send back free of charge… most companies will if you explain the error. This is your best bet IMO because, as @Sarah mentioned, a lot of people would/will assume you got the date wrong, not the day of the week - myself included!

One of my bridesmaids suggested making an announcement at the Bridal shower, but that is in April so I don't know if that is too far ahead of time to wait. I may just have to bite the bullet and send a little correction postcard or something small.

That's a good idea, I'll try that first! thank you

I might have simple postcards printed up telling your guests the correct date and send those out instead. Mailing a postcard at 35 cents is cheaper than mailing another invite.

I agree that your best bet is to send out some kind of correction, a postcard would work. I don’t think you can rely on people going to the website, and I think you need something in writing rather just an announcement (also I’m assuming all your guests won’t be at your shower). While I agree with you that most people focus on the date (and I personally would assume that the couple knows their wedding date and got the day of the week wrong), no matter what it’s going to cause a ton of confusion.

did you send save the dates? If people already have the date on their calendar, that will help!

I'd assume weddings would be on a Saturday, so I'd reach out to all the guests if you can (with your fiance) with a quick text or email.

Thank you everyone for the quick reply's and helpful advice! I think I had to get over the initial panic of my mistake before making a move. But I went ahead and ordered some matching oops post cards to send out to everyone that got an invite. I would hate for my guests to go into this thinking that it is a Saturday wedding and they wouldn't have to take off work/take a half day to come because Friday does put them at more of a less flexible inconvenience.

Note to self: have someone with fresh eyes proof everything before I send!

Thanks again everyone!

If it were me, I'd either send out an email/text/call to every guest and let them know the correct date. Just explain the mishap, and I am sure they will understand. I wouldn't buy more invites.
