So my daughter just calls me very unhappy. She just received her invitations and is extremely disappointed in them. They tried to save money and ordered them on line. I haven't seen them but she thinks they are embarrasing. The color is not what she expected, the image is blurry (she thinks that is her fault. she chose a large image and thinks that caused the problem), the envelopes are thin, etc. She had anticipated that the envelopes would be thin and ordered additional envelopes somewhere else but they don't match and aren't the right size.
The wedding is March 3rd. It's a destination wedding and she sent save the dates. She got her save the dates from the same company and was very happy with them.
So, I am sitting here biting my tongue. I had offered to handle the iinvitations but she did not want me to have to do it. So far I have suggested she contact the company and see if the invitations can be tweaked. She doesn't think so and she is worried she has run out of time. I suggested just picking a different design (eliminate the blurry problem) in a suite so that everythiing matches. She says she didn't like those to start with and that is why she designed her own. Again she is worried about time and money although I have offered help. Also, she is concerned that new invitations from the same company won't look substantially better.
I think she is going to just use the invitations. I told her not to worry that she and her FI had set their priorities from the beginning and that it didn't matter. I don't think that's making her feel any better though.
I realize that this is really up to her and not me. Just wondered what some of you would do. Try to order new ones or send out ones you don't like?
