As billionaire Jeff Bezos prepares to wed Lauren Sanchez in Venice on June 27, their wedding invitation—featuring butterflies and feathers—faces brutal ridicule for its kitschy design.
June 26, 2025 | The wedding bells may be ringing for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former news anchor Lauren Sanchez, but their invitation has already become a viral internet joke. As the couple gears up for a grand ceremony on June 27 at San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice, it’s not the luxury or the guest list making headlines—but the design of the wedding card.

A preview of the invite, first obtained by ABC News, revealed a colorful collage of butterflies, birds, feathers, and shooting stars in pink and blue on a white background. The reaction online was swift and savage.
That invite is atrocious. Onviously, money can’t buy taste or class.

“Looks like it was made in Microsoft Paint,” quipped one user on X (formerly Twitter). Another added, “This is what happens when billionaires think Canva is couture.”

Wow what an ugly announcemen/invitation. With all the money he has they could have at least done something pretty and classy. But I guess taking into consideration what she has done to herself with all plastic surgery, botox, fillers, etc…. I'm guessing that just isn't…

Despite the mockery, the message in the card was heartfelt. The couple requested guests to refrain from bringing gifts, stating instead that donations would be made in their names to UNESCO’s Venice Office, CORILA (a lagoon restoration group), and local cultural preservation efforts.
“This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories. Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come,” the card read.
However, the noble sentiment couldn’t save the invitation from online roasting.
“That invite is atrocious,” wrote another user. “Obviously, money can’t buy taste or class.”
“It looks like an 11-year-old made it,” added someone else.
