Help The Address On My Wedding Invitation Is
I just received my wedding invitations in the mail and realized I gave the wrong address for the park where we are getting married. We can`t afford to reorder invitations. What is the most tactful way to approach this problem?

Unfortuantely, you made a costly error. Since you can`t afford to purchase new invitations I`d reccomend that you simply make the correction right on the invitation. It will look tacky but you really don`t have much of a choice since you didn`t proof read your invitations very well. Your other option would be to send out a letter a week after your invites letting people know that you made an error and then give them the right information. Either way you are going to look foolish.

Eh, I don`t think it`s that big of a deal. Just cross it out and correct them. Jeez, it`s not like anyone`s gonna think you look foolish.

Don`t listen to Angela. You made a mistake we can all identify with. I would just slip a little note in with the invitation saying the correct address. For people really close to you, they may keep the invitation as a keepsake, and it will look nicer without stuff crossed out.

It`s a mistake. It happens. You are not going to look foolish or tacky. Many people slip in a card with directions or a map, and you too may do that and include a slip with the correction.
Of course it`s upsetting to see that you overlooked something on your invitations, but in the grand scheme of things it`s really not going to be a big deal.

Ha! I suppose I just proved my point in my last response. Sorry Angela, I didn`t mean you. Your advice was right on. I meant the girl who said she would look foolish no matter what she does now. That was too harsh.

I agree with Mary. Insert a seperate piece of paper with the new address and briefly state that it was a typo. It will keep your invitations looking good and it may also put some implication on the printer and not you. Everyone will understand.
