🎙️ Voice is AI-generated. Inconsistencies may occur.

A woman went viral after sharing the wedding invitations she sent to all her guests with a Pornhub link since she did not proofread first.

The woman, known only as @squidwardtentacles, shared the invitation on TikTok where it received more than 1.1 million views and 2,400 comments. The video can be found here.

Invitation Costs

Just like the cost of a venue, dress, and ring, the wedding invitation is up there on the list of priorities for all couples.

The cost of invitations is dependent on many factors down to the printing, sizes and type of envelope.

According to Brides.com, a popular wedding planning website, the average cost for wedding invitations is between $5,000 to $8,000 for a set of 100.

As Kristen Bozzone Armstrong—the COO of Cheree Berry Paper—told Brides.com, "the biggest factor that goes into the wedding invitation prices is the way the invitation is printed." Neither Armstrong nor Cheree Berry Paper had anything to do with the invitations containing the erroneous Pornhub link.

Armstrong said that while there is some variance in the type of paper used for wedding invitations, it won't make a difference for individuals buying 100 to 200 invitations.

For individuals wanting to add a colorful or patterned foil to the inside of their envelopes, they can expect to spend between $100 to $500 for a set of 100, depending on the desired printing method.

The most expensive printing method offered by Cheree Berry Paper is engraving, due to the labor-intensive process. Armstrong estimated that engraving starts at $2,200 for a set of 100 invitations while digital printing can start at $700.

'Very Large Mistake'

"So I got my wedding invitations in the mail today," the woman said. "Super exciting, except I made a very large mistake that I'm gonna share with you guys so other brides don't make this mistake because I'm sure it's super common."

The woman then showed her RSVP cards, which are cream colored with cursive gold lettering, that, as is common these days, included a link to the couple's wedding website.

"This is a really cute RSVP card, but I forgot I put this fun website in as a placeholder until we got ours," she said as she showed the invitation up close.

In the space where her wedding website was supposed to be, it instead had "www.pornhub.com."

She then showed her details card, which provided information on the reception and the accommodations.

"Cute detail card. Love it. Love all the details," she said as she showed the card.

But there was another placeholder she forgot she included.

"I forgot I put the Super 8 Motel as a placeholder as well till we figured out what hotels we're gonna block off.

"And our cute wedding website again," she said, referring to another pornhub URL.

'Coktail Hour'

Viewers noticed, however, that the risque URL and the choice of accommodations weren't the only things that needed attention in her wedding invitations.

On the details card, she requested for guests to join them for "coktail hour" and a "three-corse plated dinner" at a "restaurant" [sic].

She also wrote that she had a room "black" "resevered" for guests rather than a room block.

The woman then promised her guests she did not block rooms off in a Super 8 and apologized to her mom.

"If you're my mom I'm sorry I will fix it," she said. "I think it's funny personally but I don't think anyone else is gonna think it's funny, especially my family and Nate's family and literally anyone else."

Viewer Reactions

More than 2,400 users commented on the video, many questioning whether the woman proofread any of the invitations since there were multiple spelling errors.

"Something tells me this isn't as common as you made it seem," one user said.

"So usually people place a X as a place holder. Just saying," another said.

"I guess mine was XXX," the woman replied to the comment.

"Girl almost everything was spelled wrong are you okay," another said.

"Girly consider it a blessing! There are hella words spelled wrong," another wrote.

Newsweek reached out to @squidwardtentacles for comment.

Another woman was slammed for changing her wedding dress code days before the ceremony.

In another viral video, a woman showed more than 10 million viewers her "unique" DIY wedding invitations.
