  [QUOTE]I got my invites in the mail and I hate them. They have a black backing which rubbed off- now all the invites have black smudges on them. My wedding is June 8th but the <strong>venue needs a guest count 30 days prior</strong>, so I really need to get the invites out ASAP. What do I do?? I don't know if I should just send them (even though I despise them) or order new ones. Help!

  Where did you order them from? Can you call and complain?
  
  As for the venue, a 30 day out count is unreasonable anyways. Give them a best guess at 30 days and a firm number 2 weeks out.
  
  Target has lots of great DIY options. So even if it's not your first choice, I'd suggest just printing your own at this point.

  I'm also wondering where they are from. It would be good to know to warn other brides. I would call the company and complain.

  If I were you I would just send out what you have now due to time constraints. I'm getting married the end of this month and I sent my invites out the end of January.

  don't panic yet..june is april-may-away there are plenty of things you can do #1 call the company and complain of unusable invitations. #2 if you have a printer doing your own is really easy. #3 like i said take them to a local printer,he can reprint them minus the smudges.get your money back from original invitation company.

  Call the company and ask them to reprint and expedite mailing to you.  Wedding invitations should be mailed 6-8 weeks ahead of the wedding, so you're fine.
