So I got so excited when I got home tonight because our invitations were in the mail and AWESOME. We found someone on etsy that had a design that went perfectly with our theme. However, they sent us the old info card =( We had done lots of revisions and the one they sent was the wrong one ... GRR. AND the farewell brunch has the wrong date...IT SAYS IT IS THE DATE OF OUR WEDDING. I cannot believe no one caught that and now I am probably going to have to pay for new response cards. I am  not even sure whose error it was. Just thought I would vent.

I ordered mine off etsy too and we quadruple checked the wording before we sent it off - assuming she would just copy and paste it.
However she managed to change our wedding date twice and one of them was in the actual main wording "please join us on may 01 2011" - and 2011 was last year sober weren't happy and we payed a pretty penny for them plus expedited shipping from the states to Canada so we weren't happy either.
My fiancé sent her a nice email saying how much we loved the invites but there were errors in the dates, and we double checked to make sure that we had sent her the correct information and that we were disappointed.
That was on a thursday and by Saturday we had a whole new set of invites at our door and she paid for m the shipping overnight to Canada.

So just inquire, we never asked to have new ones - she just offered!

Don't you have records of what you sent her?  Double check what you sent.  If it was her error she should fix them for free.  If it was your error then you can explain what happened and hope she gives you a deal but don't go in expecting it.

THIS... exactly!!!  As long as you sent her the correct info, and it was an error on her part, you should be paying nothing!  I'd definitely double check your records!  Good luck... luckily, you have a little time!
