Help! Possible big mistake on invites! In a PANIC!

So I was proofing one of the girl's invites from a previous post and joking about how I didn't use a number, I simply said NOON. Well, um, I think my ceremony starts at 11:30!!!! I am drawing a blank and I found a freakin' draft of my invite in word and it says 11:30 - which I'm thinking was a time I got from the catering hall over the phone a few weeks before I ordered them.

Then at the time I orderd my invitations, I may have been thinking about the time the cocktail hour starts or something.

We're getting married at the Riviera - ceremony AND reception.

I can't afford to order new invitations, what do I do? I can't reach anyone at the hall (for some reason, I never can, I must totally call at the worst times).

If any of you have been to ceremonies there or are getting married there or have any advice, a freakin' post-it saying 'we goofed' - like what the heck do I do now? We have time, it's not until November, but all new invites, we got them online

I know on one of the bridal TV shows the couple sent their RSVP envelopes w/out postage and sent everyone a cute poem, any ideas? I know there's a tiny chance I'm in a panic for nothing. I just don't know what to do.

There has to be a solution. I'm too humiliated to tell any of my family and friends and am sitting here in a sudden panic.

Don't panic yet, wait until you can get in touch with your RH hall.

Now I don't think I'm understand correctly, did you write in your invites 12:00, but its really at 11:30? .. If thats the case don't worry, I'm sure the RH will be able to accomodate that, and if not, thats when you can start to think about how to tell your guests, maybe a cute poem or something.

I totally screwed up my engagement party invites - I put the wrong address!!!

I sent a letter to everyone saying I had bride-brain and gave them the new address. Then I posted my brother at the wrong location the day of in case anyone didn't get the letter. It worked out fine.

I would enclose a note card stating the correct time.

Stuff like this happens, what can ya do? If it turns out you did put the wrong time - laugh it off. It is kind of funny. There's nothing you can do about it so don't get yourself crazy and upset. It's going to be fine!!!

first make sure your ceremony starts at 12 before you totally panic. next maybe you can print up a cute note to put in with the invitation? i know exactly what you're talking about with the girl who had to send another note around with postage!
i'm sure everything will work out!

Thank you girls!

Yes, I basically said 12 when I'm thinking it's 11:30. Reason I don't think they can adjust that is because the weddings are like back-to back and I just read a post from a Riviera bride who is having her ceremony at 6 and that would most likely mean that mine would be like at 11:30 I think. I guess the fact that I found it typed in an old version of the invites as 11:30 is what is freaking me out. Figures this has to happen on Mother's Day weekend, they are probably closed tomorrow and I won't know until like Tuesday

I can totally just put a note in, but you know how you want everything perfect. I'm such a dumb-a s s... So many details, it's not easy!

i agree!!! My headpiece broke and i had to buy a new one already. I'm telling myself that is the only thing that will go wrong with this wedding!! so just think, after this nothing else will go wrong. this will be the worst!

Wow, at least it broke BEFORE the wedding!!! I just feel like how could I have messed this up? Well, maybe if I'm lucky someone getting married in the afternoon there will see this and FM me or something. Ha ha, too bad I'm not buddies w/the 11.8.08 NIGHT wedding girl, I could beg her to push it up 30 minutes. Ha ha!

thank you for your kind kind words..

try getting in touch with your RH.. and i know how you feel about wanting it to be perfect.. and it will be.. just don't panic.. b/c stress will just make it worse..

if you do decide you want to have them reprinted, you would only need the invitation & not the other parts printed.

also, you might be able to get a small discount from the online company you ordered from. it can't hurt to ask them, right? especially since you have time until you need to mail them.

i JUST got home from a wedding there... and the invites said 1130am and the ceremony was at noon... they have a welcoming wagon, and that starts at 1130 until noon!!

we had to leave by 500 bc another wedding was coming in as we were in the parking lot... her wedding i think started at 6pm.

i think u hav e NO worries.

Again - thank you to all the girls giving me the Riviera times. I feel like such an dumb a s s. I can't believe I blanked out like that.

The reason I can't have the actual invites reprinted, which I swear would probably only cost $50 (the entire set of 100 was dirt cheap!) is because it's from David's Bridal and they don't do things that way. They sell everything as a set. Other than including the 'i'm a dumb-a-s-s- poem' ... I'm thinking I might be able to find a printer in my area or an invite store who can match our invites. They are seriously, simple off-white card stock with plain brown ink which I was hole punching and putting a ribbon through, the only thing that could be a problem is the size of the invite, like matching it because it's one of those pocket folder type thingies....

I'm going to try calling them again tomorrow. But based on the 11:30 welcome wagon people are talking about, I think that might have been it. UGH! I'm kicking myself right now wishing some other bride would share stories of mistakes they've made. ha ha!

Aww dont worry about it! Just put a note in saying 'The ceremony time has been changed to 11:30am'.

If anyone asks make up a story and it was the hall's fault. Or just say, you wanted to leave more time to party. Honestly no one will even ask. Maybe a few close friends or family.

PS - If I received an invite with a revised time I wouldnt really think about it...would just say oh they changed their time...must be a wedding booked after theres

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I thought of another good idea! What is the brand of your invites? I am sure Davids Bridal outsources right?

OK reason I am asking is because you can contact the company directly and order new invites 'al la carte'. I did this to order more envelopes because I was not buying 30 more sets just to get a few extra envelopes!!!!

Ok one more thing....I made a goof on our STD! I put June 21, 2007. (Instead of 2008) WOW big problem!!!!

So i called shutterfly and complained that the font was too small and it was hard to read and they gave me credit to reorder them and they even overnighted them! LOL!

Girl, you are too funny!
I am alreay thinking about how i can contact a local printer or something like that or David's printing people, etc.

Another thing that's annoying w/these invites is the error is on an odd shaped like 5.5x7 inch card stock, but it's such a plain and simple invite, like anyone could probably do it for us, but matching the ink and font could be a challenge!
