A bride who splashed out $600 on her wedding invites was gutted to discover an obvious typo on the cards after opening the package. Jennifer Meyer, 23, was excited to see what her invites looked like but opened the box to find that recipients were being invited to a 'weddding,' rather than the 'wedding' she had planned. 'Trying to not have a meltdown,' the bride-to-be wrote in a TikTok posted online after noticing the extra 'd' in the word wedding.
Jennifer had ordered 200 invites from Minted on January 19, saying she had read through them about '20 times' and even had her mom proofread it too. 'The company even caught that I didn't include an RSVP date, so I added it and approved the proof a second time,' she told Newsweek. 'I have no clue how I didn't catch it,' she continued. 'And neither did my mom.'. Jennifer decided to reach out to Minted to amend the issue, admitting she had expected to have to cover the cost of the replacement invites herself.
However, she was pleasantly surprised when the comapny replaced them with no extra cost. Jennifer Meyer , 23, was excited to see what her invites looked like but opened the box to find that recipients were being invited to a 'weddding,' rather than the 'wedding' she had planned. 'The customer service for Minted was the best I've worked with in the wedding industry,' she gushed. 'Otherwise, I probably would've sent them out and hoped people didn't notice,' she joked.
While the mistake was glaringly obvious to Jennifer after receiving the invites, not everyone could spot the typo. 'WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT SOMEONE TELL ME I AM CONFUSED,' one user exclaimed. 'Ours had the same wording and "families" was spelled wrong. I didn't notice until one of my friends told me (ofc they had all been mailed out),' someone shared. 'If it makes you feel better I (a teacher) designed, ordered, and sent out our invitations with November misspelled on them. Our photographer graciously hid it in our details pic,' another bride sympathized.
'Well, it took me viewing this video four times to figure out why you were panicking, so chances are most of your guests won't notice, and even if they do, it's not a big deal. Enjoy your special day!'. Last year, a woman had the cringe-worthy experience of being forced to leave a wedding after realizing she received an invite by mistake. Jennifer had ordered 200 invites from Minted on January 19, saying she had read through them about '20 times' and even had her mom proofread too (stock image).
While the mistake was glaringly obvious to Jennifer, not everyone could spot the typo. The unnamed woman took to Reddit to reveal that she had been left red-faced after she 'crashed' a wedding she thought she was invited to. In a thread titled, Wedding Shaming, the anonymous social media user revealed she was sent an invitation in the mail, which she RSVP'd "yes" to. However, after getting glammed up and making her way to the wedding, she was stopped at the front door.
