Okay so, I'm already married, so this shouldn't be a big deal. But it is. I'm having another wedding and reception for my friends and family back home in the states. I helped my family plan the menu and the colour theme and all the other larger things that a bride should get a say in because, regardless, it's her day still. I did all this planning with my family in a three week period. No big. I'm not hugely fussy. So of course I trusted my family to get the invitations done...correctly.
NO SUCH FUCKING LUCK
Not only did I NOT get to see the final invitation before it was printed and mailed out to all guests, but it had all sorts of things wrong with it!! =( It had spelling errors, one of which was MY MIDDLE NAME. Now, I understand that my middle name is pronounced like a regular name but spelled completely different for various reasons. My middle name is Reena, pronounced like Renee. I didn't even realise this until I was 18 and had to send out graduation announcements. So I understand the misunderstanding. But not from my FAMILY. My parents, MY FATHER at the very least should have caught that somehow. He's the one who told me about it for my graduation announcements. He was the one who should have had a last look at these things because he's my fucking coordinator. I understand coordinators delegate things, like invitations maybe, and I understand that he would have delegated to maybe my younger sister who is studying interior design and used to work at a stationery store and that's cool. Delegation is good and she's usually very good at that sort of thing...But. I'm very proud of my middle name. I LIKE my middle name. And it's spelled wrong. ON MY FUCKING WEDDING INVITATIONS. In addition, the time of the ceremony was left off the invitation, the name of the restaurant has been typoed, and someone spelled immediately as immediatly. Am I mistaken, or has the spelling of that word changed since I moved to Australia?? The reply card has all the relevant information, except it has a large M on the side of it for some reason that resembles...marriage? Wouldn't something else have been better? A family letter name for example or maybe even the bride's and groom's first initials? There's enough space that it could have happened. It doesn't make sense to me. This is my wedding invitation...that a friend had to send me because I hadn't seen it until today. They were sent out on Saturday...
Now this pic is blurry and you can't really read it very well...but really? I'm cool with the whole simple modern cute look. It's fine. It's not me, but whatever. Ugh.
