What would you do if you were me, please help?!?! warning:long!

well ladies i swear as it gets closer and closer more and more things are going WRONG!!!! mostly with the details!! Especially the MENUS!!!!

So ive decided to DIY the menus, they are really detailed and are taking much longer then anticipated! but i LOVE all the little details and it means alot to me!

So anyway. Tuesday night i called the RH and gave them a heads up that i would be faxing over a cop of the menu so they could double check it (even thought i was coping DIRECTLY FROM THEIR MENU!) on the cover sheet it said, PLEASE CALL IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS! So when i didnt hear from them i went a head and printed 150 of them. Last night SUNDAY at 10:30 PM mind you i get a phone call saying that there are some changes that need to be made.

Here is the menu and i will put the corrections and RH reasoning under.

Appetizer
Martini de Fritti
Martini Glass Rimmed With Coconut Shavings
And Filled With Pineapple, Cantaloupe,
Honeydew, Watermelon And Berries
Coated With Midori.
Insalata
Traditional Caesar Salad
With Croutons
Main Entrée
Choice Of One Of The Following
All Served With A Twice Baked Potato And Mixed
Vegetables.
Roasted Prime Ribs Of Beef
Served With Natural Au Jus
Grilled Norwegian Salmon
Served With Tomato Basil Salsa
Chicken Francaise
Chicken Breast With Traditional Wine,
Lemon & Butter Sauce
Dessert
Wedding Cake
Yellow Cake With Cannoli Filling Or
Chocolate Pudding Filling
Ice-Cream Sundae Bar

Ok so these are the changes and their reasoning

for the appetizer: they no longer put watermelon in it so that needs to be taken out (well no offense but i paid for what it SAID NOT TO BE CHANGED!!)

The salad should be called Classic not traditional b/c it SOUNDS BETTER! and 'you really should say with croutons' ( EVEN THOUGH IT CLEARLY STATES THAT IN THEIR MENU)

Entrees are fine but theres NO NEED TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT IT COMES WITH

Dessert: 'you can not tell people that there are 2 types of filling because there just wont be enought' (ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? i never stated that the people have a CHOICE OF, i clearly stated one of the other will be given, fight amoungst yourselves!

SO in conclusion i spent all this $$$ to print them and have them just about finished.. now they are making all these changes.. WHAT DO I DO????

DO i reprint and spend all that money and time REDOING WHAT I JUST DID??? or do i call them back and say look,.. noting i put in the menu is INCORRECT its exactly what i was TOLD by YOU that i was getting. and that they did not get back to me in a timely fashion and they need to be ok with that.

please he HONEST it wont hurt my feelings i really just dont know what to do.

i agree most people wont stop to notice that there was no watermelon & the only thing it will do is stress you out

I would honestly leave it rather than stress yourself and do them over and even waste more material and money... Other than the watermelon the commentary that they gave you seems a bit more opinionated ... It is all a matter of how certain people interpret things .

I totally agree. I don't think I've ever noticed the menu and compared what it said to what I got.

I accidentally hit 'redo' but I meant keep 'em as is... it's not worth the hassle for a change so insignficant.

WHAT?????

So I'm not sure I understand the options then....if they wont put them out if the corrections arent changed and you decide not to have them reprinted, then what is the option? Or are you just hoping they wont notice that you didnt take their suggestions?

im praying that they wont notice!! cuz to be honest i cant afford to get new paper or to reprint.. so im going to have to call and make a bit of a 'stink' cuz in my opinion its not fair.. their pretty much telling me to THROW AWAY WHAT I JUST DID..

im just afraid that they will say.. well you shouldnt have gone a head to print untill they were OKed

why are they making this such a big deal. it sounds as though they are being so anal about how you word things it really isn't a big deal i feel so bad for you

can you talk to a manager or owner? and explain your situation in detail

If they are making such a big deal for something that you copy from what they originally promise you, I would make them reimburst you the money that you spend

Did you call and speak to them? Might be better than over email.... Esp. if they know you already printed them out.

I think their changes are minor & don't see why they said they won't put them out if you leave them like that

The person you spoke with should have no say in whether the menus YOU MADE and PAID FOR are put out at YOUR WEDDING! If the RH is upset that you arent changing them they should make you menus!!
