I am currently having a dumb thank you note problem. I say dumb because I know I'm overthinking, but I don't know what to do, and DH doesn't care.
I wanted thank you notes with a wedding photo on them. The one company that does that here (like Shutterfly) is crazy expensive, so I asked my invite designers to try. The test looked good but had some cracking near the fold, so we agreed to add a white border so the cracking wouldn't affect the image. Got them on Friday, and they felt flimsy, so I sent an e-mail asking about a paper mix-up. Turns out they're on 225 gr. paper instead of 240 gr. because the designers decided that was better since they were still having problems with cracking. Instead of feeling like light but still professional cards, they feel like something I printed at home.
I'm annoyed that they switched papers without asking, and I think they feel cheap. Then again, if they say the paper was cracking, that's not good either. I think I'd rather have the heavier ones, and the designers have apologized and offered to reprint, but I worry about making them reprint them and then thinking they look like crap anyway. WWYD? And if I do reprint, and they're cracked, what's worse - flimsy but perfect or heavy but with an ugly fold?
