So, did this happen to anyone else?

In our announcement it says where we both work. Today at work I received something in the mail, and I thought it was kind of funny because it was address to me in care of my work place. That's never happened.

So I open it up and a laminated card falls out and it's a wedding announcement. I'm sitting here, "Why did this person send me a laminated announcement of some strangers wedding?" DOH, I look on the back and there is ours!

It's from a Mortgage company, I just thought it was a really nice marketing idea, to laminate someone's engagement announcement and send it to them along with information. I'm not going to forget that business, that's for sure!

After our engagement announcement ran in the local paper, we started getting all kinds of $hit in the mail from local wedding companies that we've never heard of before, local hotels, B&B's, etc. I was even getting it at work, but at different stores than where I work (I work for a supermarket pharmacy, and other stores were getting stuff addressed to me!). It was really bad at first, but it's stopped now.
