Wedding Invitations & Paper

new ceremony location=new invites?

So we had originally schduled and agreed to get married at FI's parrish church.  Since then the priest he grew up with retired and the new one just rubbed everyone the wrong way.  So much so that FI no longer wants this man to marry us and is thinking of jsut getting a JOP and having the whole ceremony and reception at the same venue.  Problem being that the invites JUST came back and my parents paid a lot for them.  FI want to print new ones which i thnk is a tremendous waste of money and will take time which we no longer have.  Is it okay to just include a card that states the ceremony time and place have changed?  or do i have to purchase and print more invites? We havent sent anything out yet since I am still hoping this Priest will warm up a little but FI is still fuming.

  • I think it's okay to do an insert....but I would really suggest re-printing if you can.  Vistaprint is pretty inexpensive (and fast!).   But inserts are probably okay.

    Just make sure you KNOW for sure where the ceremony will be before you send anything out.  It sounds like you might still be deciding...

  • Honestly, moving from the church to a JOP, I would re-print.  It just feels like it would start gossip and drama.  To me, the expense of re-printing would be well worth it.

    Reprint them.  It will only lead to confusion if you do an insert, and some people may still show up at the original venue.  And you only need to print the invitations themselves, not the response card or envelopes.  So it won't cost as much as ordering an entire new set.
  • Ditto PP, if you had already sent them an "update card" would be necessary but since you haven't mailed anything yet I would definitely reprint the invitations if at all possible. There are alot of inexpensive ways to print the invitations, and like a PP said, you only have to reprint the invitation, not all the other items in the set.

  • FI said he would rather get a civil ceremony than have this man marry us.  Yup that bad.  I am working to see if i can have another priest officiate the wedding in the same location.  Its just confusing since I am not catholic and am not familiar with this parish and its policies.  And sadly as a non-parishioner who doesnt fit into their "mold" they could care less about helping me.  Honestly things were working fine until i showed up at their door and they saw me.   FI should be helping me with this but he is too busy sulking right now.  Anyhow I'll hold off until friday.  Thanks ladies!
