Since last Friday we’ve been going through all of my grandmother’s things and we found the invitation to my wedding as well as the program, dance card and her seating card.  I couldn’t believe it.

I was reading through each piece, which I haven’t done in almost five years, and I think I found a typo.  In the program, after everyone’s name in the order that they were going to walk down the aisle, I listed the song that would be played and the author.  For some reason, there isn’t a song and author listed for my grandparents, which gets us to the point of today’s post.

Always have someone other than you and your fiancé review any stationery you’re having printed – invitations, reply cards, direction cards, programs, menus, favor tags – everything. 

At the time of my wedding I was working at Martha Stewart Weddings magazine and asked the magazine’s copyeditor to review all of the elements for me.  I can’t believe we missed something.

So when you get a proof of anything you are about to order – and you want to get a proof of everything – after looking over it yourself, ask a friend or relative to review it to see if they find a typo you may have missed.
