Wild Card

Sharing wedding news — a joyous event, complete with calligraphy assessment and tough choices about card stock.

But calling off the wedding? If only Hallmark made a the-jerk-cheated-and-should-rot card.

Because, hey, there’s no reason you shouldn’t go out with a bang. (He did.) So commemorate life’s slightly awkward moments with OtherAnnouncements.com.

There’s no limit to the uncomfortable situations you can share on the simple, cream-colored cards: unemployment, divorce, sobriety, infertility, illness, and plastic surgery.

Celebrate singledom with a card that reads, “Picked the wrong guy. Gave him the wrong finger.” Break the news of a miscarriage: “I’m not fat. Unfortunately, I’m not pregnant anymore either.”

The ladies behind OtherAnnouncements.com donate 10 percent of the profits to a different charity every six months, making sure that someone benefits from your hardship.

And though they don’t cover every hairy situation, if you send them your story, they’ll suggest the perfect custom card.

Even a birth announcement to the ex: “He has my eyes but your friend John’s smile.”
