Speaking as someone who was recently married and still doesn't give a shit about the whole 'tradition' of it, I went in search of a non-sappy wedding card for a dear relative's upcoming nuptials.
I went to Wal-Mart (so sue me, there's basically nowhere in this town to buy this stuff and Shoppers is just as bad) and the selection was dismal.
First of all, the cards had tacky, simpering sayings and some were implicitly religous, even though there was specifically a 'religous' sayings side. Get back on that side, jeebus! Enough with the 'In God's eyes we are joined in this miracle' or "We gather our loved ones under the eyes of Our Lord' and just plain sappy, "This is a special day for such special people, forever in love" and "Today is the day two become one" UCK.
Then, a noticeable lack of blank-inside cards. Like, none.
The designs were retarded. Boring, cheesy, no fun sparkles or glittery bits, and the one that did have something on it, it was ribbon protruding from the behind of a bride's bustle. WTF?
I picked one with a 'sassy' saying and it is still boring looking for my taste. Overpriced ($4.99 and shitty. Hm)
Word has it that Murdoch's (Gem shop) has good blank cards. Oh well, until next time...
