Buyer’s remorse sucks March 26, 2007

I ordered the invitations and response cards yesterday. I’m waiting on the proof, but already I’m afraid that I won’t like them. The actual design is really cute. (Click here to see.) I’m worried about the wording. See, they’re formatted for “Mr and Mrs Smith and Mr and Mrs Johnson request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their children, Bob and Sally (in large script font) blah blah blah.”

The problem with this is that we’re not using that wording format. Our parents aren’t inviting people to the wedding or hosting it (not to be confused with paying for it…you can contribute nothing financially and still be a host…I digress). We are. We don’t want to totally shaft our parents, because both of his (and my dad) have contributed generously to help us out. So we’re using the whole, “Together with their parents, Heather Mymiddle Mylast and Scott Hislast, request the pleasure of your company….etc.” Looking at the invites, they’re not really formatted for this type of wording, without doing some significant moving around and respacing.I’m actually kind of freaked out, even though it is a very VERY minor detail. I placed the order explaining how I wanted the default changed, so I hope they understand what I want. Otherwise we may have to go w/ another style (which isn’t a huge deal, just extra work for me).

This probably makes no sense to anybody else, and I’m not freaking out, just kind of annoyed. I don’t get bogged down in details. I’d like to be able to worry about one less thing. In other news, I’m picking up my wedding dress today from the seamstress. All the alterations she did ended up costing $65. I couldn’t believe I got off that cheap. Some people spend $100s on alterations, though they require a lot more work (like taking in or letting out for weight changes). I sure hope I like the results.
