The wedding invitation for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez's Venice wedding was seemingly leaked online—and social media users are not impressed.

Wedding prices are getting out hand these days. There's the venue, the cake, the officiant, the catering, and, as one of the richest men in the world is finding out, invitations.

Bezos and his girlfriend of six years, Lauren Sánchez, are tying the knot this week in Venice, Italy. Their nuptials have been a source of contention among the locals, as well as the not-so-locals.


Now, the couple's invitation has purportedly leaked, and it's...well, it's something, that's for sure.

Once the internet saw the design choices and wording, the comments were all but inevitable.

The invitation features two lines of smaller images above and below the text, with a predominant theme of...birds, bugs, and Venice? If there's a throughline in the choice of art, it's sure not crystal clear to the average viewer.

Opinions on the design rolled in, and people were merciless.


Folks were not holding back.


One would think money could buy design talent.


Other folks enjoyed the "no gifts" detail.

Because, you know, there is a place that he could have made a wish list...

The couple requested no gifts, and will be donating to the UNESCO Venice Office, CORILA (Consortium for the Coordination of Research Activities concerning the Venice lagoon), and Venice International University.

It makes sense that the second richest man on the planet might not need another set of pans or a vacuum, but the specificity of the donations came under scrutiny.

Venice, it has been made clear from the protests that have broken out in the heavily over-touristed city, may take Bezos' money, but they don't really want him there. Hence, a donation—or bribe, depending on your perspective.

Someone did them a solid and made a less wordy version.

This will be Bezos' second marriage. His first, which did not include a prenup agreement, saw half of his already massive fortune depart with ex-wife Mackenzie Scott. She walked away with $35.6 billing in Amazon stock, which she has been donating to charity ever since.

Sean Hannity Roasted After Claiming His Friends In NYC Are 'Scared' After Mamdani's Win

An immigrant Muslim of Gujarati and Punjabi Indian parents who has lived in NYC since he was 7 years old, the 34-year-old New York State Assembly member was the stuff of nightmares for the MAGAsphere. Mamdani was a non-White, non-Christian, Uganda-born immigrant and progressive Democrat.

AOC Has Democrats Applauding With Her Viral Reaction To Zohran Mamdani's Historic Win

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.

Some jobs, however, are so soul-sucking that even with no other prospects immediately on the horizon, we can't, in good conscience, keep working them.
