While Venice has been largely preparing for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s multi-million-dollar wedding plans, eyes are now set on the couple’s not-so-grand invitation card. There might be a lot of ways to invite people to something special, like a wedding; the world had a lot of expectations when it came from the third richest person in the world. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding invitation card did come as a surprise for many, but not as anticipated. A picture of the invite has recently gone viral, grabbing a lot of attention on the internet.
Printed in italic font with haphazard decorations of doves, shooting stars, butterflies, and even the Rialto Bridge, the card appears to be homemade; however, not in an artistic way. The card also features men rowing gondolas around the famed bridge.
What appears to be a subtle nod to the city’s culture and heritage failed to impress the internet, as many expressed their disappointment. Users strongly criticised the invitation for being “flat,” further stating that the expectations were much higher, owing to the billionaire’s wedding budget. One wrote, “This invitation looks like an 11-year-old made it,” while another one joked, “Was the invitation made in Microsoft Paint?”
One of the users even recreated a similar card and added a hilarious message, which he claimed took only 15 minutes.
“What a heartless invite. Seems like a business dinner for donors,” a comment read. An unimpressed X user wrote, “This was the best their wedding planner came up with? My goodness, Lisa Vanderpump’s daughter from Housewives did better than this for her wedding.”
Referring to the “gifts” part in the invite, a user commented, “The donation is very generous, but the invitation itself is not what I would expect from a billionaire.” I don’t know, it looks like clip art.”
Bezos and Sanchez’s wedding invite features a special message for the guests, as the couple asked them not to bring gifts. “We are making contributions in your honour and with gratitude to you for making the journey to celebrate with us in Venice. Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard the city’s cultural heritage, to CORILA to restore the vital lagoon habitats that protect Venice’s future, and to Venice International University to support research and education for sustainable solutions.”
Amid the growing buzz surrounding the wedding, the Amazon founder and his fiancée have already landed in Venice. They are said to get hitched later this week.
