Party Invitation Wording Sounds Off

Tweet

So today I got a party invitation for a 6th birthday party and it says "Instead of bringing gifts, please bring school supplies that we can donate to kids who are not as priviledged as us!" While certainly it is great that this family wants to give instead of receive, I just wish they had written on their invitation "kids who are less priviledged" instead of "not as priviledged as us!" The latter sounds like the family's being well off was unnecessarily emphasized. I was reminded of my brother's wedding 3 years ago when they wrote on their invitation "It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life!" My mother thought it was horrible, but knowing the personalities of the couple, I found it funny and fitting. I'm sure the lederly in the family didn't feel the same. Maybe the priviledged friends of the earlier mentioned family didn't find anything off about the invitation wording, but I did because I do not have a lifestyle like theirs. (By the way, I am not being invited as a guest, I'm a supplier and I got the invitation to use as a guide in decorating their candy buffet.) Did you ever receive an invitation that sounded quite awful to you? What did it say?
