...but you'll live.
So, I DIYed my own invitations. I slaved over these things, tweaked colors and fonts and positions of images for months. Printed everything, cut everything myself. They went out at the beginning of February.
Which is right around the time I found out...
a) The option of "Child" (as in a child meal of chicken fingers and fries) on our response card gave the appearance that we were offering child as an entree. I've had two people ask if they can get their child medium rare.
b) Not everyone knows to write their name on the empty line. I've gotten five responses with no names. Four are no's, and we've got some mystery guests that we've nicknamed "Fish and Chicken".
c) For some reason (which I don't understand, seeing as I literally triple checked EVERYTHING, half of our response cards ended up with mailing labels that were off by one digit in the zip code. We have no idea who got the wrong zip code and who didn't, nor do we know how many RSVPs have been mailed with the wrong zip.
I should probably be having a bridezilla meltdown right about now...but I'm not.
I sent an email to those guests that I had emails for and let them know about the mixup, and gave them the option to RSVP via email to make things easier. I added an RSVP option to our website. And when March 22 rolls around, I'll call who I need to call.
The reason I'm posting all this is just to say, no wedding is ever perfect. Things are going to go wrong, details won't work out, things may fall through...you're not going to have that picture perfect pretty princess day exactly how it's laid out in your head. But really, in the big giant scheme of things, will it really matter? Nope. What matters is that I'm marrying the guy I love in less than two months. And that's what's important.
That being said, do yourself a favor and NUMBER YOUR RSVP CARDS.
