We've just had a Christmas invitation with the best spelling mistake ...

[yeahinaminute]

.... and I quote ....

X and Y invite you to join them on xxx at xxxx for ..... Champagne and CANOPIES !!!

and it's PRINTED on a very nice stiffy for the mantlepiece !!

rofl thats great

LOL!

What do you mean by stiffy though?!

can you accept tentatively?

we once had a birth announcement on a nice-stiffy-for-the-mantelpiece from the "prowed parents"

Ooooh Betty !! - always wanted to say that !!

Mercy a "stiffy" (in this context only !!) is a nice invitation on good card that doesn't fall over when you put it on the mantlepiece, telly whatever !!

Aunty - my mum had one like that from the powered parents !!

Your friends are very organised. Christmas invites? In October? I can't for the life of me imagine what's for breakfast tomorrow.

I bet they spent ages trying to spell "hors d'oeuvres" as well and gave up and went for an easier option.

psml at Canopies, prowd and powered

UnquietDad, get over to this thread

Am I the only one who's wondering why on earth the people who actually print these things don't tell their customers they've spelt something wrong?

Did LOL at it though

They're lovely - but going to their "other" house from Dec 1st ( taking kids out of school shocker !!) I move in exalted circles !!

I bet they just phoned it through and didn't proof read !!

Anyway - it'll be a good "do" I bet !!
