Christmas Card Fail

edited December 2013 in May 2013 Moms
So, I ordered and paid for my Christmas cards and finally got them in the mail...and they look as anticipated except that there is a major bra strap issue going on. I have no idea why I didn't notice it when I ordered them but it is obviously pretty bad.
I can't reorder them because it is too  much money.  I like them besides that issue.  I am thinking I will get like a Christmas sticker and put it over the offending area.   Any other ideas? I can just hear my SIL and MIL now...."oh my, how tacky!"  Ugh!


Edit:  Took down pic for privacy issue.

Re: Christmas Card Fail

  • Not bad but sticker would be cute anyway regardless of strap.

  • Oh no! Personally, I would do a sticker. He's so super adorable though'
  • I understand why it bothers you but I personally would just leave it. I don't think I would've even noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. There's a really cute baby on the card that's distracting me :)

    If it really bothers you, do what you gotta do.

    If you put the sticker, people are going to peel the sticker to see why it's there and then they will notice it even more. At least I would peel it.

    I didn't even think of that but I bet you're right.

    ETA: if they say something rude, tell your MIL and SIL to suck it :)

    Agreed. I take my earlier vote back.
  • I didn't even notice. I say just leave it.

  • If you got them through shutterfly they will let you reorder at no charge. Just tell them there is an error and explain it.

    I would peel the sticker off too.

    Thanks guys...I think those that are saying they would peel off the sticker have a good point.  I probably would to.  Hah.
    And against my better judgement, I am going to do a little reconnaissance at Micheal's to see if I might find the kind that you really can't peel off once it is stuck on.

    I agree. I don't think it's that bad at all! LO is adorable :)

    Am I the only one who thinks there is nothing wrong with the pic? It's a bra strap, not a thong.

    Nope. Me too.

  • @spanfran and @bhjones1980 yes! I was looking for a gif, but I was on my phone, and I couldn't find any easy links.

    Just looks like tank top layering, which is common anyway, not a big deal.
    This was actually my first thought.  My second was I wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't pointed it out.  Plus your LO is so cute no one's gonna be looking at the bra strap lol!

  • btw don't know if you care about internet privacy and whatnot but your whole family's first and last names are on that pic. 

    Also, the bra strap is no big deal in my opinion. I'd just leave it. 
  • thanks, @CarolineEmma.  I think I will remove the picture.

    Thanks for the feedback guys!
