Sorry to jump over here

But I was wondering if any of you had problems with your invitations. I just ordered mine online...got them today and really don't like them. Did any of you not like yours and did something about it....

Thanks for any info you can provide me

Re: Sorry to jump over here

What don't you like? Did they make a mistake, or are you just questioning what you picked?

Re: Sorry to jump over here

I actually like everything but the thickness of the paper and how when you fold them they look flimsy. That is why people told me to go look at them personally then order them over the internet....

I ordered mine on-line but, I got a sample in the mail. So, I knew how they would look & feel.

Why don't you call/e-mail the company & ask if they can be made on stronger paper?

Did you pay alot for them? If you really don't like them would you be losing out on to much money?

They might not be that bad. Have you asked your family or friends?

Re: Sorry to jump over here

I think the internet sites use a thinner paper which is why they are less expensive.

Try folding them, with all the inserts inside, and put them in the envelope for a day, and see what impression they make when you pull them out. When they are full, and flatten a bit from being in the envelope you may be happy with them.

Looking back on it, while I obsessed over the invites, I don't think anyone else hardly noticed much other than the date, time and location. I looked back at several I had received (I save them so I remember distant cousin's hubby's name, etc.) I realized mine were as nice, or nicer than any I'd received.

Unless your family, or DH's, is used to receiving heavy cotton paper invites with real engraving, and hand calligraphy on the envelopes, I doubt anyone will even notice the paper thickness. Don't worry about having them re-done - spend the money on something more memorable.

we ordered ours online too and got a sample to check the thickness of the paper - sometimes it canbe flimsy - can you ask someone else ot look at it and tell you what they think - maybe they won't notice!

Re: Sorry to jump over here

I ordered mine online too. I loved them. I had ordered a bunch of samples from different companies before I chose mine. The paper was nice and thick and the ink was just the right color too.

What company did you order from? I ordered mine from www.theamericanwedding.com.

Show them to some friends or family and see what they say....

Re: Sorry to jump over here

we ordered ours at theamericanwedding too and loved them but found some other sites whose paper was a little skimpier!!

Re: Sorry to jump over here

I got mine at americanwedding as well. I actually showed them to my mom and FMIL and they both loved them. They said the paper could be a little more thicker, but in the end I should realize its just an invitation. That will be the least that anyone will remember from that day....so I'm gonna keep them.

Thanks for all the advice......

Re: Sorry to jump over here

That's exactly why I didn't order online....too afraid of what they really looked like....
