So I try to be pretty nice, but I'm going to get a little snarky for a minute here because most people just wouldn't understand everything that is wrong here. Do you all remember me posting about my cousin who got engaged 6 months after me and is getting married 3 weeks before me? I found out that while they got engaged less than a week before our STDs went out, the girl (the guy is my cousin) had planned/booked the entire wedding months before they were engaged! Weird.
Anyways, I finally got their invitation in the mail yesterday and it is super similar to mine except my cardstock is heavier and my text is raised and nicer and the same blue as my wedding color (yes, I'm being snotty). Anyways, I was surprised because I figured they'd go more modern and the invite is pretty classic and formal. The following are my issues (and snarkiness):
1. Ithaca was spelled incorrectly in my address.
2. Everything was typed out, nothing was handwritten.
3. The outside envelope was addressed to me and not my fiance who lives with me.
4. The inside envelope was addressed to both of us, but only with our first names. Which is okay but not really for a formal invitation.
5. There is a monogram on the invite that looks like the groom's last initial. On closer inspection, it could be their names joined together which would be cool, but it was very distracting, b/c all I could see was the last initial and that's not proper for invitations.
6. They had an insert directing people to their website for more information regarding directions and registry. It also mentioned that all gifts should be shipped to the couple's home and gave their address rather than where the wedding is taking place because they have to fly home afterwards.
That is all. I'm going to get them a gift although I won't be attending, but now I kind of want to ship it to where the wedding is just to be annoying...
