Vendor Vent!!

OK soo ... I have previously vented about my invitations lady since she completely clueless about grammer and spelling.

I personally made the mistake of sending nuptual vs. nuptial (via gmail where spell check is not automatic) .... Catch she should have made -- but I realized after proof #2

Then its impossible to get ahold of her! She was capitalizing random words and asked her MULTIPLE times via e-mail to not do that -- ie. "Together With"

Now this is the best part!  I asked for 90 reply cards with a deadline of March 1st  and 35 with a deadline of March 21st (people in Miami DO NOT rsvp).  This gave me time to still collect RSVP cards, do seating arrangements, escort cards, etc. Plus send out those 35 extra invites if I receive a lot of no's.

Well she did 35 March 1st Reply cards, and 90 March 21st reply cards!  AWESOME!  Let's see how quickly she can fix this mistake.

Wow that's really weird that she is in this business and not better at spelling and grammar. I guess a lot of them just put down exactly what you put so that they are following what you told them, but if I were her, I would have shot you an email saying, Hey did you mean....?

And there is just no excuse for the last part if that's what you told her. She must have read your email wrong or misunderstood you. Did you check to make sure you in fact did not make the slip up?

As for the capitalization, some people just like it that way, but once you tell her you don't, she should lay off.

Hopefully she'll get it all corrected soon! Be sure to leave an honest review of her somewhere like your local board or kudzu.com so others know she isn't the best.

I hear you, I had a lot of trouble with my invitations too, to the point that I told fiance if we ever get married again, haha, we are using the do it yourself invitations from Michael's or etc.  They made two typos on the first proof even though I provided the information correctly.  And they were hard to get a hold of and when I did get in touch and asked for a status they kept saying they were busy with holiday orders and they had to wait and do our order after those because our event wasn't until April (which defeated the purpose of starting the process early at the end of October in order to avoid any stress/hassles).  It took almost two months to even get the pricing!  We were very concerned by the time they finally got us the final proof and we okayed it to go to the printer, because we were about to have to take our business elsewhere, which we weren't sure we were going to have time for, at that point!
