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

Original post by AllyDrew1108

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.

Yeah it could be tricky...but you have some time to research it! You will definitely be able to reprint them. I wish I had some resources for u!

i wouldn't panic at all. I'm getting married there, and my ceremony is at noon. so you should be totally fine.

I hope you're right, but we do have people coming mostly from out of state, so maybe we can either put a little note in there or reprint them ... I think it is 11:30 because I remember saying 'how the hell is everyone going to get up so early' and that's when they said they could possibly try to get the next wedding to start 30 minutes later, but I doubt that ever happened because I didn't hound them about it.

I had the EXACT SAME situation happen to me, but at least you have only a half hour difference! Mine was a whole hour!! I also did not want to get new invites printed bc mine were from overseas and i really liked them. Also i didnt have the time to reprint!!!
so i went to a minuteman press and got a little cute poem on note cards printed. They matched it the best they could with my original invites,and they came out great! :) We still had to just tell people over the phone to remind them. Now im hoping no one gets there at the wrong time
