90210 - Zip Code Woes

October 10th, 2011 @ 11:29 am by Mrs. Sunhat

I miss this show, don’t you? And not the re-make either, although I haven’t watched it so I don’t have much of an opinion on it. I miss Brenda, Brandon, Dylan, Kelly, Donna, David, Andrea, and even Steve.

But this post really has nothing to do with that famous zip code and instead deals with my own zip code issues.

I just had to go and say in an earlier post that the invitation process was going smoothly. JINX! I found an error. It’s not a huge error, at least it could be worse.

Our reception venue and the hotel we have reserved for our guests are located in the same city. I thought I had double checked everything but I somehow failed to notice that they do not have the same zip code for their addresses! The city is not that huge so I’m shocked it even has more than one zip code.

I first noticed the error when half of the maps were printed. I was willing to let that go but then I checked the reception cards we had already printed and assembled and it was wrong on there too! I was so frustrated. I just knew the whole process had been too easy!

We didn’t have enough of the cream paper to finish the maps anyways so MOB went ahead and ordered more. I was really debating leaving things as they were since the zip code issue wasn’t going to cause our guests to not be able to find our venue. I’m glad MOB pushed me to reprint them. She knew I wouldn’t really be happy in the end if that zip code wasn’t correct! We plan to finish these bad boys up this weekend. I’ll be happy to check that off the to-do list.

Want a sneak peek at this labor of love?

If you look closely, you can see a hint of my bouquet in progress! I just need to purchase some ribbon to finish the handle off and then I can share it with you.

Do you think a wrong zip code can affect your guests’ ability to find your venue? Would you reprint if you’ve inputted the wrong zip code on your paper goods?

Probably too late to help you - but I don’t think zip codes are necessary since your guests are aren’t mailing something to your venues.

GPS systems tend to ask for city/state so I just omitted zip codes altogether. The invitations/maps looked cleaner that way as well.

They look great! I didn’t include zip codes on my invitations so I guess I saved myself that stress. I’m sure most people are just going to plug in the city and state into their gps anyway but i’m glad you made them so that you’re happy with the end result.

We love 90210! Original all the way. And I agree, I don’t think ZIPs will affect anything like @Lida said - I never put ZIPs into map programs anyway. But I probably wouldn’t have been able to let it go, either!

Best post title EVER lol! I love BH 90210!!!

I think we did include zip codes on our invites and would have had to fix them if needed. Our venue was out in the boonies!

I have to agree with Miss Ladyfingers… it’s not that big a deal but if there was a mistake I’d re-do the whole thing.
Good luck!

I probably would have redone them too, it would bother me way too much :)

You ladies are too smart! I think I got to MOB just in time and we are just deleting the zip codes off of everything. Why in the heck didn’t we think of this before! Thanks!

I don’t think that keeping the wrong zip would have caused much confusion, but! It would definitely bother me too.. pretty sure I’d need to reprint/reorder to make sure it was right. Perfectionist and all that. I hope they came out perfect for you in the end!

Every time you refer to your mom as MOB it makes me chuckle. I can see my own mom demanding that as a nickname!

Gah, this is so annoying! But even though I didn’t have zip code troubles, we obviously had major invitations problems and ended up with an entire printed suite I HATED because of all the little mistakes I just couldn’t get past. Like you, I’m just so thankful we reprinted everything because it would have bugged the living heck out of me. I’d probably still be thinking about them now.
