Despite hosting a star-studded, multimillion-dollar wedding in Venice, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez didn’t escape criticism - this time not for grandeur but for taste. The couple’s wedding invitation, featuring pastel birds, butterflies, and shooting stars, went viral online - and not in a good way.

Social media users described it as “atrocious,” comparing the design to something “made in Microsoft Paint.” The card also included a polite request: “Please, no gifts,” along with the couple’s decision to donate to Venetian charities like UNESCO Venice Office and CORILA

The invite’s tone-deaf aesthetic sparked debate. Some defended the charitable gesture, but many felt the visuals failed to reflect the couple’s opulent wealth and high-profile status .

Set against protests in Venice about over-tourism and environmental impact, the criticism highlights how even small misstepsn - from elaborate ceremonies to modest invites - can ignite public backlash

In the age of viral moments, it seems even billionaires can’t afford to get the invite wrong.
