To re send wedding invite ?

[Fluffybear86]

Hello all I've sent wedding invites out and people has to go to post office to collect (embarrassing) as they were too thick! People had to pay 11p. One of my friends has not received invite and says she has looked etc and will go post office when off on Friday. However if it isn't there do I resend? The issue is we have one invite left and want it as a souvenir!

My sister's invite was in a foil envelope and lots of them had the stamps slide off in the postal system. No one minded really. However, one elderly aunt commented on the 14p she had paid (1998). My sister made a point of giving her the money back as a part of a speech which was, I thought, rather cruel.

We got caught for this with DD's Christening invitations, they had beads on and it was just after the new rules were introduced, we did realise but it cost us a fortune in large letter stamps.

An email apology to all invitees, with full details and then the £1.11 favours sounds like a good idea to me.

Just to point out, at your wedding everyone I presume is getting free dinner and possibly a free hour or so of bar? Plus entertainment etc. I really wouldn't give everyone the £1.11 I think its a little anal, would just make a joke at very most in speech, I cant imagine any normal person actually caring or remembering this on the wedding day

You've probably managed to double Royal Mail's profits for the year by having all your guests pay this £1.11! They'll be very grateful!

This happened recently with a wedding we've been invited to. I had to pay an extra £1.20. I sent a polite message to the bride saying that it might be a good idea to check all guests had received theirs. She never got back to me so I have a feeling I've offended her!

I think the personalised stamps as wedding favours is the best idea.

Definitely email and resend details to everyone to ensure they have arrived.

OP, I don't think you need this to 'define' your wedding by using stamp guest favours or giving people the money back at the reception. A simple blanket email, text or maybe a phone call to older guests to apologise and make sure everyone has the details is fine. Do it asap. But don't bring it up on the wedding day. Everyone will have moved on by then I am sure!
