Internet Asks If Jeff Bezos' Wedding Invitation ‘Was Made In MS Paint?'
Last Updated:
A picture of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding invitation card has gone viral on the internet.
While Venice has been largely preparing for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's multi-million-dollar wedding plans, eyes are now set on the couple's not-so-grand invitation card. There might be a lot of ways to invite people to something special, like a wedding; the world had a lot of expectations when it came from the third richest person in the world. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding invitation card did come as a surprise for many, but not as anticipated. A picture of the invite has recently gone viral, grabbing a lot of attention on the internet.
Printed in italic font with haphazard decorations of doves, shooting stars, butterflies, and even the Rialto Bridge, the card appears to be homemade; however, not in an artistic way. The card also features men rowing gondolas around the famed bridge.
What appears to be a subtle nod to the city's culture and heritage failed to impress the internet, as many expressed their disappointment. Users strongly criticised the invitation for being 'flat," further stating that the expectations were much higher, owing to the billionaire's wedding budget. One wrote, 'This invitation looks like an 11-year-old made it," while another one joked, 'Was the invitation made in Microsoft Paint?"
One of the users even recreated a similar card and added a hilarious message, which he claimed took only 15 minutes.

'What a heartless invite. Seems like a business dinner for donors," a comment read. An unimpressed X user wrote, 'This was the best their wedding planner came up with? My goodness, Lisa Vanderpump's daughter from Housewives did better than this for her wedding."
Referring to the 'gifts" part in the invite, a user commented, 'The donation is very generous, but the invitation itself is not what I would expect from a billionaire." I don't know, it looks like clip art."
Bezos and Sanchez's wedding invite features a special message for the guests, as the couple asked them not to bring gifts. 'We are making contributions in your honour and with gratitude to you for making the journey to celebrate with us in Venice. Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard the city's cultural heritage, to CORILA to restore the vital lagoon habitats that protect Venice's future, and to Venice International University to support research and education for sustainable solutions."
Amid the growing buzz surrounding the wedding, the Amazon founder and his fiancée have already landed in Venice. They are said to get hitched later this week.

Who is Mark Bezos? Jeff Bezos' rarely seen half-brother shines at Venice wedding as he resembles to This Hollywood
Mark Bezos, the younger half-brother of Jeff Bezos, and his wife Lisa Bezos attended the Amazon's founder's groom's party in Venice. As Mark attended the wedding in black tux, he resembled a Hollywood star. Mark Bezos with his wife Lisa Bezos at the wedding of Jeff Bezos in Venice. (Image: AFP via Getty Images) He is said to be lookalikes of Bruce Willis and even Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who starred in Moana and Jumanji. While Mark isn't a Hollywood celebrity, he has been rubbing elbows with a handful of the celebrities and wealthy who made their way to Venice to witness the wedding. Mark is a businessman like his elder half-brother, but he avoids the limelight and prefers to work more behind the scenes. In 1996, Mark decided to assist his elder brother Jeff and his firm, Amazon, continuing some of his family's traditions. Bloomberg reported that he purchased 30,000 Amazon shares for $10,000 that year, joining sister Christina. It is estimated that they would have been valued $640 million in 2018 if they had opted to keep the shares. Mark, who is also known for charities, works as a director of Robin Hood, an esteemed anti-poverty group in New York City. In addition to his charitable work, he co-founded the consumer brand-focused private equity business HighPost Capital.

In addition, the journalist changed her handle to @laurensanchezbezos and her display name to 'Lauren Sánchez Bezos'.

Who are Lauren Sánchez's Children? All About Her Three Kids Before She Married Jeff Bezos
Lauren Sánchez is not just marrying one of the world's richest men—she is a hands-on mom too. Long before her whirlwind relationship with Jeff Bezos, Sánchez was raising three kids while juggling a media career, piloting aircrafts, and co-parenting with two ex-partners. From Nikko walking her down the aisle to Evan's first solo helicopter flight and Ella's quiet strength, Mrs. Bezos' kids are now stepping into their own. Here's a closer look at the young adults who call her mom. Nikko Gonzalez: From NFL roots to fashion runway Nikko González, 24, arrived in 2001 during Sánchez's relationship with former NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez. While he may have grown up under the limelight, his family life has been relatively grounded. He even calls his relationship with his famous mother 'boring' to Vogue. After finishing his degree at the University of Colorado Boulder, he worked at New York's exclusive Zero Bond and even debuted on the Dolce & Gabbana men's runway. According to the Wall Street Journal, Sánchez once flew overhead as a true 'helicopter parent,' piloting her chopper above Nikko's high-school football games. He also built a relationship with his now stepdad Jeff Bezos, once joking to Vogue that it was 'hard to beat Jeff at chess.' Evan Whitesell: The aspiring business major At 19, Evan Whitesell pursues a business degree at the University of Miami, according to In Style. Born in 2006 to Sánchez and Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell, Evan splits his time between Los Angeles and Florida. He inherited his mother's love of flying. Sánchez shared in an Instagram post, 'I can't believe my baby soled [sic] a helicopter today,' after his first solo flight in August 2024. The college freshman maintains close ties with both parents and his half-siblings. Ella Whitesell: The 'quiet' youngest Eleanor 'Ella' Whitesell, 17, rounds out the trio. The youngest of the three also prefers to keep things private, though Sánchez has posted about Ella's 'quiet strength' on Instagram before, when she celebrated her daughter's 16th birthday. As per In Style, Sánchez expressed her love for her daughter: 'Each day, you show us the beauty of dedication and the power of quiet dreams. We love you for everything you are, and everything you're yet to become.' In a Vogue interview, the former pilot also revealed their morning interactions before she drives Ella to school, stating 'Sometimes we tussle… other times she really opens up, and other times she says nothing and I take it in.'
