Martha Stewart They are NOT!
So, I received a wedding invite today. Yeah, it's for a wedding this Sunday. Wha?!!?
I knew my cousin was planning on marrying his fiance the weekend before Halloween but I assumed the plans were pushed back when I didn't hear anything. But today we got the invitation and according to my other cousins, they all got theirs today or haven't gotten theirs yet so they didn't even send them out until a few days ago. They are even local, so it's not like the mail got tied up somewhere.
So, first mark against them is that I am receiving this stupid invite a mere few days before the event.
The next no-no in my opinion is pretty much everything within the invite. I mean, the misspellings. Could you not use spell check?
My next issue is the lovely poem that was glued in upside down on one half of the invite and it reads:
Many of our guests have inquired
for a gift idea to be inspired.
Like so many young couples today
we already have most htins anyway.
Still thehouse needs repairs and upgrades too
but you can not register for carpet and glue.
Son this special day of ours, the day that we'll be wed
Don't hunt for special gifts, but a gift card instead.
The best suggestion of places to go
would be our favorites Lowe's or Home Depot.
Am I crazy or is this totally tacky? Not to mention the fact that they do NOT have everything they need. They are a young couple who work in extremely low paying jobs. Ugh.
Brad made plans on Sunday because we hadn't heard anything and even though I'm still available to go I really don't know that I will. Considering that it also had an insert that says "All are invited to attend the ceramony (nice spelling right?) and reception" I'm guessing that with no RSVP's and a late invitation that they're really just gift grubbing and probably providing only punch. Or am I being a snarky wench? I never know these days with these wacky hormones wizzing through my body! ;o)
