Bride and groom slammed for “gift fishing”
A couple has been rinsed online for sending out the “worst wedding invitation ever” that quickly went viral on social media.
The bride and groom decided they would tie the knot in a “private ceremony”, but still decided to send out invitations to those who weren’t actually invited to attend.
The invitation asked people to “join us in spirit”, while the word “spirit” was spelled incorrectly.
The bride claimed that she thought the cards would soften the blow for loved ones who weren't invited, but many online commenters say they have the opposite effect.
The couple were quickly slammed as “patronising and rude” with hundreds of infuriated social media users claiming it was “nothing but a present grab”.
“Great way to let people know they aren't invited but you'd still like a present,” one person wrote.
“Not even a virtual wedding, this is just tacky,” said another.
The view was universal, as one person joked, “We're having a wedding, you're not invited.”
“If I got this, it would go straight in the trash,” another said, while someone else suggested, “I'd use it as kindling for the fire pit.”
Some people also added that despite the couple’s alleged best intentions with the non-invites, they were bound to cause confusion among recipients.
“She's going to get so many confused phone calls about this,” one person said.
“People will be confused about where to buy tickets,” said another.
