Wedding Invitation Madness

I have been planning this wedding for about three years now. My husband and I were a COVID couple who postponed their wedding party to 10/10 and have had all of their vendors booked for years now.


Our one vendor in particular—the paper company that we went with— has had their money in full for about two years now. Because of COVID and the amount of couples that they had to made invites and save the dates for, they insisted that they would contact us in a timely manner to start the design process. Well jokes on us, they’ve been giving us problems for months now. Between poor communication and failure to even show us what the design they’ve come up with is, our invitations are now in the hands of the USPS and are nowhere to be found. I’m mortified. 39 days until the wedding and we have no invitations. My husband and I are trying to come up with a contingency plan of sending out email invites as a “tentative” invitation with the formal paper invitation to follow. RSVPs are being done through our wedding website.
Is this a horrible solution? I’m honestly so dumb for not having other invites printed weeks ago but I fell in love with this companies custom designs and really had my heart set on them and the thought of a backup plan was heartbreaking to me.
