You know the scene where the bride is stuffing the very last invitation into the very last envelope and notices a word is spelled wrong? Or the time is incorrect? Or the date is mistaken? She freaks out and calls her invitation designer in a desperate panic begging for a reprint. My story isn't quite that dramatic, but our wedding invitations had a major set back last week. At 11:23pm Saturday night I received this email from our invitation designer as she was assembling the invites:
Hi Miss Seashell,
I am sorry to report this news to you, but I was just looking over the invitation and there is a spelling error that was apparently overlooked. The "thirty" in one-thirty is spelled wrong. And now, well now, we will have to reprint. I have to discuss this with my printer first thing Monday morning if I can get on his schedule. I am really at a loss for words at the moment.
Oh goodness.
See it? Darn you, letter T, darn you. You ruined what would otherwise be some seriously gorgeous invitations.
Fortunately, the "thiry" has been reprinted as "thirty". The invitations have been assembled. And sent. I'm not privy to what happened behind the scenes but I've heard rumors of begging and late nights. Phew. That was a close one.
Have you had a wedding "near miss"?
