ohhhhhh noooooo!

So I finally finished designing and printing my whole stationary package last night...yay! right? WRONG...so I get home and realize that the postcards I made for our rsvp's have the wrong zip code on them to come back to us. Poo! We are moving in two weeks, so I addressed the cards to come to our new place to avoid mass confusion. We are moving in the same city and state, but the new zip code is one digit off (24502 instead of 24501) grrrr. Now I get to be that tacky person who changes them with a sharpie. I don't have enough paper, money, or time (they are already late) to get them printed again. I am a graphic designer so this is slightly embarrassing. I can't believe I did this! Do you think it will be completely tacky to change the one number with a pen? I don't really have any other options besides potentially letting them get lost in the mail. I think I would be the only one who really cares, its just a bummer!

Re: ohhhhhh noooooo!

  • Make a new address label to go over top? If you're already moving people will assume that's why you changed it.
  • Yeah that sucks.  And I would change them.  yes the can probably get there eventually but  the post office will hate you and they could very well all be very late
    Image and video hosting by TinyPic Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.

  • Usually being 1 digit off at the end of a zip code won't prevent it from coming to the right address, but I agree with PP and you can print new labels to place over the print on the envelopes.

    But hey! I'm in 24502!! I'd be happy to help if you need an extra hand [:

  • Thanks for the help guys! Unfortunately they are post cards, so labels won't work :( I think I am just going to be very careful making the change with a pen. I can't wait until 20 years from now when I can laugh about this! They are going out tomorrow and I think I would be the only one who remotely cares about the way it looks. Ahh well, the joys of wedding planning!
