Announcements (and $) wasted

I just spent $40 on announcements, only to bring them home and realize that I put the wrong weight on them. I want to throw a temper tantrum and say all kinds of bad words.

    How far is it off?  If it is like an ounce off...I personally wouldn't worry about it.  People won't remember that anyway-they like them mostly for the beautiful baby picture!! 

    1st pregnancy: m/c began 1/12/09 d&c 1/13/09 8wks. Baby stopped growing at about 6wks.

    Oh no, that would really bother me too. Like pp said, if its not too off then try not to worry about it and use them anyway so you don't waste the money. That's a bummer though, I'm sorry!

    I said 7 lbs. 10 oz. when he was really 6 lbs. 10 oz. I spent so much time on these and I want them to be perfect, but I don't know, I guess you guys are right. No one will probably pay attention to his weight anyway. I guess I should just leave it.

    Have I mentioned that I really effing hate hormones? And exhaustion? I feel like I'm having mental breakdowns daily and I'm constantly pissed at DH.

    Aww bummer.  I am anal and would probably have them reprinted but would b!tch the entire time about the cost. 

    You could probably just leave it, but if people know what the weight really was they may question you? I don't know.

    that stinks! sounds like something i would do... :(  i agree with pp though, you can blame sleep deprivation! it might be worth the extra money to do it again if you are not happy with them though.

    Can you talk to the printer and explain what happened. - maybe they will reprint for a discount. 

    So sorry - I would be upset too.

    Maybe get a whole bunch of stickers that are the number 6 about the same size and color of the print? then just sticker over it! Otherwise just send them out anyways lol
