A wedding question (not your typical question)....
So, my Il's received a save-the-date magnet for a couple in Astoria who is getting married in Brooklyn withe the reception in NJ.
So, here is the problem.....my IL's have no idea who this couple is. It's not family, family friends or co-workers or their kids!! They have no family in these areas, either. We looked at their wedding website and there is nothing there to connect my Il's to this couple.
So, what would you do?
Contact the couple via their return mailing address and tell them they have the wrong people, so they don't get a wedding invite that is meant for someone else or just ignore it.

Was the save the date addressed to them? If so, I would ignore it. If not, I would contact them.

It was address to them, hand written (although in calligraphy) with their first and last names.

Re: A wedding question (not your typical question)....
Can you look up their names and see if there is another couple in your parents town with that name?

Re: A wedding question (not your typical question)....
Maybe the daughter is the daughter of a family friend? Could be she has a different last name than her mom with whom your parents may be friends, say bc her parents divorced? Do you parents have any friends with kids getting married?

Re: A wedding question (not your typical question)....
That's odd?! And no one from either side got the same STD?
Maybe a co-workers kid?

Re: A wedding question (not your typical question)....
I would probably try to find out who it is in the time between receiving the save the date and the invitation.
If it was an error, perhaps the couple will realize it and your IL's will never receive the actual invitation.
In the meantime, is there anyone at work, church, neighborhood, that like PP said could have a child with a different last name?
What about neighbors that maybe used to live nearby and moved away?
Are there any family members on a second marriage or something where this could be a step child situation? Even like a second cousin?
Some people have HUGE weddings and invite everyone they know, so perhaps it is a bit of a stretch invite? If that's the case, I don't think your parents are under any obligation to attend or send a gift. We were forced to invite a few extended family members to our wedding and they never acknowledged the wedding, which I totally didn't mind since I didn't even know who they were.
This is so funny, and reminds me of a situation we are in this week - we received a baby gift from someone and have no idea who they are - neither do either sets of our parents. And I have no address on the packing slip, so don't know how to send a thank you!

Re: A wedding question (not your typical question)....
We got a photo Christmas card from people we did not know at all! I guess they must've tried to look up the address of someone with the same name. We just ignored it but IDK what we'd do about a wedding invitation. I'd probably just hope that between now and when the invites go out, they'll figure out the right address!

Maybe try looking the couple up on Facebook and go through any mutual friends?

Re: A wedding question (not your typical question)....
I would assume that they have the wrong address for a couple with the same name. And because of that, contact them and let them know so they don't also send the invite to the wrong address and the right people can actually get the invite meant for them
And if its not that, at least by contacting the people who sent it, they'll solve the problem

same here, maybe they have a common name? I know my DH has a common first last name combo and this could easily happen to us if someone looked the address up in the yellow pages or something.

A wedding question (not your typical question)....
Can't hurt to contact them. I would.
When I had a baby shower, my invites were sent to tons of wrong people because of my MIL's wonky address-keeping skills. 
In fact, yesterday I received a thank you note for being a retirement party attendee and giving a gift. I figured I should contact that woman who sent it to me, because someone out there didn't get their thank you note and is probably ******** about it.
