A couple’s wedding invite has gone viral after a guest spotted several spelling and grammatical errors.
The invite was shared on Reddit by the uncle of the groom who could not believe the betrothed couple had forgotten to proofread the message.
Displayed on a green-coloured card with a white border, the invite included “a few notes” with the guests to ensure the special day runs smoothly.
“We asked that you wear simple, elegant attire in solid colours or subtle patterns,” it read.
“Please avoid white, red, bright colours, jeans, heavy sequence, lace or complex patters.”
The couple signed off the note with a simple “thank you!”.
“Is this the new normal? And did no one proofread?” the bemused guest questioned.
The bride and groom’s invite went viral after commentators spotted that “heavy sequins” had been incorrectly written as “heavy sequence”.
“If the couple can’t be bothered to spell check I will wear whatever I want,” one person wrote.
Another quipped: “People dressed in a sequence, like their outfit only makes sense if they stand in a specific order? Like a band on a field spelling something out for the home team?”
Others pointed out that the use of the past tense was incorrect.
“I’m equally annoyed by “asked” past tense when it should be present tense,” one person noted.
“Especially because you give notes AFTER something. You could say ‘please note’ in advance, but ‘a few notes’ totally sounds like something you’re telling someone after the fact,” another agreed.
“Only ‘few’ being italicised at the top also makes it read weird,” a third pointed out.
“Agreed, it makes it sound really passive aggressive like ‘here’s a few notes for you morons who can’t be trusted to pick your own clothes for our wedding’,” someone else said.
The groom’s uncle admitted he had been taken aback by his nephew and his nephew’s fiancée’s demands.
“I thought they were smarter (and less demanding) than this,” he quipped.
He also vented his frustration at the lack of information provided to guests, noting the wedding website simply included the date, time, location and dress code.
“This wedding is being held at an expensive venue. I don’t get it. Do people not send out actual invites anymore?” he said.
