Our RSVP envelopes have begun to arrive! Every time I open our mailbox to find another of our envelopes, I get a rush of excitement. So far, we’re at 100% yes. Of course, I know we won’t enjoy the presence of every guest we’ve invited. But so far, it’s been a whole lot of yee-haws. I just wanted to quickly show you all how frazzled we must have been by the time we actually sent those suckers out:

Notice anything, um, off? Or in the wrong place?
Yes, as a matter of fact the envelope was printed upside down. And it did slip by unnoticed, both from the printer, and from our Quality Inspection during assembly.
Well, maybe the respondent didn’t notice…
(personal photo)
Oh. I guess she did notice. Fortunately for us, this particular invitee generously donated hours upon hours of her time to help us get these invites out the door. So if there’s anyone who will forgive this mistake, it’s probably her. So far, this is the only upside-down envelope we’ve received. We’re hoping there aren’t many more out there…
Did you discover any major mistakes after it was too late to correct them?
i don’t know if i would call that a major mistake. i mean, it made it out, it made it back, it had the information you needed. sounds like a working RSVP to me!
LOL, that’s too cute. At least you got the RSVP back.
lol.. I thought you meant the missing comma in Denver, Colorado 
OH, hahahaha, WHOOPS!! We’ve all been there, I worked super-hard on my after-party invites and then effing FORGOT to include them in the invitation suite!
HEHEEHE! Oh boy. I feel your silly mistakes pain on the invite front.
Oh no! At least it went to someone who wouldn’t mind!
Glad I’m not the only one! I accidentally put some of the address labels upside down on our thank you envelopes. Oh well!
Haha! Its kinda cute
At the last minute when my invites were ready to be shipped, I spilled green tea over the box and ruined 3 outer envelopes! I used the hairdryer, but the names and addresses were smeared. I sent them anyway, but emailed those guests immediately! 
So far our biggest mistake was failing to number about a dozen RSVP cards (in case of a guest failure to write their name).
Ha ha. After disassembling, affixing address labels, and reassembling about 80 of our 90 invitation, my mom realized that I’d printed my zip code on the address labels for the RSVP envelopes…and they were going to my parents’, in a VERY different zip code. Oopsy-daisy! We had to go back through all of them, disassemble, re-label, and reassemble.
I printed two address labels to two different people to the same address! Luckily they live in the same town and are friends, but how random would it have been to get a wedding invitation in someone else’s name to your address? I mustve been truly out of it!
An upside down stamp means “I love you” or that the letter inside contains well wishes/good luck! So it’s not a bad thing at all, don’t stress : )
Ha. I would just think it was cute if I got an upside down envelope. I’d think “oh, those sly dogs!”
I love it, actually! It’s sort of a nice reminder that it’s just an envelope (or twenty) and that everyone you’ve invited will most likely just think it’s endearing. I need stuff like this to make me smile, relax and have fun with the process!
[...] saw this post yesterday from Miss Husky on the ‘Bee and knew I needed to blog about this. My message is this: [...]
I did the same thing with our Save the Date envelopes, and am now working on our invites and am being extra cautious! I love how when you being so careful in doing something that you dont notice these silly things!
@soniasays: I’d never heard that, but I love it! I think it applies here.
