We were invited to a party for a preschool classmate and the mom was so excited about the invitations. They are very professional looking, but umm...there are three typos. I feel so bad for her.

Make that four typos

    Sounds like me. I was so excited until a family friend called to tell me that I wrote Saturday April 18th. So, which is it? Saturday or Sunday the 18th?

    I let everyone know the right date except the guy bringing the bounce house. Oops!

    Poor thing!  One error I get - it's easy to make a mistake, but three?!

    What type of errors (it's like a train wreck... just have to *look/ask*) :)

    I had a family member recently do fairly expensive christmas cards and there were two typos.  I thought it was funny because she tried to correct one by writing in the missing letter and I probably wouldn't have noticed either if she hadn't done that ;-)  (plus we don't get along)

    1. omission of the word "of"

    2. using then instead of than

    3. omission of the word "a"

    and OMG I just noticed a fourth....there's a word capitalized that shouldn't be

    Oh dear... this woman clearly needs someone else to proof her work (or the person typesetting her card sucks - lol!)  I'm afraid if you keep looking you're going to find more!  :)

    I just got mine done and made sure there werent any errors.  I made my mom, sister and dh all proof it.  There was one on the original (put the wrong RSVP month) but that was all.  

    I was so worried the wrong date was on it.  I kept checking my calendar and the invite before I purchased and printed them.  

    Poor lady.  We moms get so worked up and excited about these things.  If I were to find 4 typos on mine after they were printed/mailed I would be so upset.
