It’s not typically my style to call out wedding regrets, but there can be major ones when it comes to invitations. If you pick the wrong company to print your invites, you may find the quality to be lacking – and you’ll be embarrassed to mail them out. What if the invitations have typos? Printing issues? The paper quality is too thin? Yikes.
But when you get it right the first time, you’ll have regrets of a different kind: why didn’t I know about it sooner?
And when you order from one major brand in particular, you’ll realize it’s faster than you thought, the paper quality looks like you spent more than you did, and now you have more time on your hands.
In this blog post, we’ll show you the major regrets you’ll have when ordering these wedding invitations. Let’s get started!
Wedding Invitation Regrets Couples Have
P.S. You’ll quickly realize these so-called-regrets sound like music to your ears. Read on to find out why. :)
Regret #1: “I wish I would have started here first.”
You wasted so much time bouncing from website to website, only to realize you should have started at Minted in the first place.
The internet is inundated with many different companies, specialized designs, and price points all over the place. But Minted offers dozens of designs in all different styles to suit all couples and different price points, aesthetics, and themes.
You can even sort the invitations by season, style, or color palette. It’s almost too easy.
Regret #2: “My family thinks our invitations cost more than they actually did.”
It may look like you spent the whole budget on your invitations, but you’ll know the real secret! You paid your allotted budget for wedding invitations, but they look nicer than average, don’t feel cheap, and the ink and paper quality is stellar. Yeah, people will definitely think you spent way more than you did.
Regret #3: “I regret not telling my cousin about our no envelope invitations. Hers were a major hassle.”
Some couples are relishing in the all-in-one wedding invitation craze – and for good reason. It costs less than traditional invitations, eliminates the need for an outer envelope, utilizes digital RSVP (or a postcard, which costs less in postage to mail back), and has a fun modern vibe.
See it in action:
Your regret? Not telling your cousin about them and letting her avoid the outer envelopes and assembly process she had with her invites from a different company.
Regret #4: “I have a final headcount way too early.”
When couples choose digital RSVP cards with a QR code, their guests typically respond in record time. Now you don’t have to wait around or make those awkward phone calls asking guests if they can attend. If you were looking forward to this, I hate to break the news, but it likely won’t be happening. :)
Instead, you’ll have the headcount to your caterer early and you’ll be able to work on your seating chart ahead of schedule. Sweet!
Regret #5: “I ordered day-of stationery with my invitations – and now I’m all done.”
Without spending time shopping around for day-of stationery – i.e. table numbers, menus, place cards, escort cards, programs, a welcome sign, and a bar menu – what will you do with all that extra free time?
Regret #6: “I don’t get to spend hours handwriting the addresses.”
Love hand cramps and working on cursive you haven’t picked up since 5th grade? Hate to tell you but Minted invitations come with free addressing on your envelopes. They look just as nice as calligraphy, but now you don’t have to be the one to hand-write every single one. Too bad!
Regret #7: “I didn’t want a wedding website but now I have one – and I wish I did it sooner.”
You didn’t technically need a wedding website, but then when you saw how it actually helps you (guests can RSVP digitally, you can include details about dress code, a link to your registry, photos, and more). And then you saw it matches your invitation, it was easy to set up, and it was free. And now you regret not getting one sooner!
Now that you know these regrets are actually blessings, you’ll likely want to take advantage of all there is to offer.
