Ugh, I think I made a really big boo-boo
I sent the awesomest invitations out for my sister's baby shower. The majority of the people invited are from my BIL's side of the family since they are all in Florida. I sent them out on saturday, but now I'm realizing that the invitaitons read "Tanya's surprise baby shower" and there is no mention of my sister's last name. Do you think people will put two and two together? I'm know its petty but I'm killing myself over here with this.

Re: Ugh, I think I made a really big boo-boo
Did you include registry cards? They'll figure it out.
Don't stress too much!! 
Even if they had the last name, people will find a way to screw it up!

No, I didnt. I enclosed one of those silly wishing well poems and at the ending put "Tanya and Michael are registered at BRU"
I think I royally screwed this up

Re: Ugh, I think I made a really big boo-boo
Does it have a return address on the envelope?
I think people will figure it out...how many pregnant Tanya's would people know at one time!?

I would call the BIL's mom, apologize & ask her how many people it would not know who's baby shower they were invited to.
Hopefully she'll step up & make some calls. Otherwise you may need to do it. If you gave the registry number, the last name would come up.

I don't think it's a big deal. If they see Tanya & Michael that should help them out if they don't realize who Tanya is on their own.

Re: Ugh, I think I made a really big boo-boo
Oh God, that makes it even worse. The majority of the invites went to people I dont know in Florida with my return address here in NY. Since I got married I'm afraid they wont recognize my last name.

Re: Ugh, I think I made a really big boo-boo
I am sure they will figure it out...even if a fairly distant relative in my or DH's family is PG - we know about it. And you put both their names so they are going to put two and two together.
How many Tanya and Michaels do you know?

She's right. Someone does need to call. Especially because it sounds like you didn't give the regisry number.
Yes, they know who Michael is...and hopefully will get that Tanya is his wife...but you don't want to take that chance!
Don't beat yourself you!!

Re: Ugh, I think I made a really big boo-boo
I can just picture these little old ladies opening the box and thinking wt-eff and who the heck is this Tanya! Oh woe is me! Well, here are the invitations, only I added a few more pieces and the baby on the cover reads "Julie's surprise baby shower". What great way to mess up a great invitation

Re: Ugh, I think I made a really big boo-boo
That happened to me for my shower and the people that couldn't figure it out just asked who it was for when the called the RSVP #. So just be prepared for some funny phone calls!!

Re: Ugh, I think I made a really big boo-boo
That happend when my cousin got married too. We sent out invites that just said "donna's shower....." and the bottom said donna and ed are registered at....
We got a few phone calls asking donna who? But it was easily taken care of.
