Uhhhh typo on birth announcement wwyd? Update!!!!

I'm so mad at myself! I ordered ds's birth announcement and of course I was trying to do too many things at once and there is a typo!
In small print it says welcomed with love by and dh's name is spelt Johm instead of John. Totally my fault !

Wwyd
-Ignore it and send it out
-Add a little note inside saying "oops mommy was a little busy and made a mistake..."
-redo them

So mad!


Update:

Unfortunately I'd redo them too. That would bother me too much and I couldn't send them out like that.

I'd send the little note. The truth is, most people look at the announcement and toss it in the trash. I just don't see a need for the added expense. Maybe I'd redo a couple just for us, our parents, and grandparents.

Same here. Good idea with a redo for a couple.

What color is the font? Could you take a sharpie and try to change it?

You can't send them out with the baby's name spelled wrong

It's her DH's name that us spelled wrong not the baby.

You said it's small print? I would probably send them as is. Not worth the money IMO. Truth is, nobody really cares about your birth announcements but you. People are more interested in the pictures on the announcement than the print.

Re: Uhhhh typo on birth announcement wwyd?

I'd see if you could order a few more with the correct spelling. I know grandparents tend to want to save these things.

But I do agree with other posters that in most cases, unless it's a really close friend or family member, these things get tossed.

I've even accidentally tossed cute Xmas card pics of my nieces and nephews because it was lumped after the holidays with the other cards I considered "clutter".

I would send them. I don't think people are going to be checking the spelling. I usually look at the picture anyway!

I'd redo, especially on a name misspelling.

If it was something like an 's or s' mistake, I'd leave it because most people won't notice.

It would bother me a lot that DH's name is spelled wrong but it would bother me even more to spend the money to have them reprinted. I would send them out.
