We are doing the invitations ourselves and after printing about 50 of them, we found out that the minister had something come up and was not going to be available on the original date. The date has been changed to a week later and I really don't want to re-print these invitations if there is a simple but acceptable fix.

At least you didn't pay a fortune to have them professionally printed! I think that you should probably recycle the ones with the wrong date and print new ones so that your guests don't get confused. If someone loses the date correction, it would be too easy to forget that the date on the invitation is wrong.
Man...that sucks!

I would send the ones with the wrong dates out to close family and friends with the corrections. To everyone else I would send the corrected date. It really doesn't matter though, the only problem is if people lose the correction card and write down the wrong date.

50 invitations cost ... $20-30 bucks?
Reprint them.
Yes, it sucks, BUT you won't look like a low class slob by sending out some weird correction.

stop being cheap, ur already saving money by printing them yourselves, u need to correct the invitations before sending them out esp since u might have 1/2 the people showing up a week early. do the right thing and reprint them.

It would be better to just re-print them. Although a correction insert slip would technically work, it might also cause a lot of confusion.

send out a short letter explaining the date has changed and that your changing the original date to another one. Good luck.

I had a similar situation. I just used a beautiful caligraphy pen and wrote on them. I also wrote it on the back of the envelopes in gold writing. It bought a few phone calls but everyone attended the wedding. Everyone understands.

reprint them. if you absolutely wont, then just do this. where it says
Saturday, the 10th of may, 2008
you take a nice pen, put a neat diagonal line through 10th and write "17th" neatly so there is no mistake it cant be read and you write that above it. if there is no real room to do this above the 10 then reprint them.

Easy solution is to contact by phone all those who do not live locally or other parts of the country and explain. To all those that live locally put an ad in the local paper. Now the mother-in-law....!

I cna not think of any fix except to either include an "oops" note with the correct date or to reprint.
