I ordered bentchers for my son's Bar Mitzvah and the place kept getting my last name wrong and they promised they would have them in time
Well it's not happening.
I have new bentchers extras from my other boys bar mitzvahs.
Will it look tacky if I put a sticker that I would print over my other son's name?
I am so upset. I can't believe they promised and totally ignored my messages.

Thst is super super frustrating.
Honestly if it's really soon, I would just forget about personalized benchers. Or print bencher cards on cardstock

Where do you live? There are places that can have it done real quick.

If not you can do the cards type of bencher. Double sided half of 9x13. They can come out really really nice if you print them on a nice cardstock paper. I might have a template for them.

If your really stuck, I don't think it's so bad to stick on something on your old ones.

Yes, it will look very tacky.

Just don't do bentchers. People will be happy.

Get some from a gemach.

I second this.

Though if you can figure out a way to get new ones printed or the card stock option it would be nice but it won’t make or break your simcha.

Definitely don’t put a sticker on top of the other ones.

Try BP Graphics in Lakewood. They can probably do it for you for the next day. If you have any guests coming from Lakewood, they can bring them to the simcha.

Pickup nice cardstock 100g or so from michals. They have diff sizes. And just print out yourself. They are beautiful and cheaper.

For my son's wedding we weren't planning on doing benchers. On shabbos at the aufruf kalla's parents said they really wanted benchers. We ordered on Sunday and got them on Tuesday just on time for the wedding!
I can try to find the name of the place that did it for us. We had to pay extra $40 for "rush fee".

They're open until late tonight. You probably will need to find someone to pick them up on Thursday in Brooklyn and bring them to the bar mitzva!
