'Money Destroys Taste': Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sánchez' Wedding Invite Savaged Online

Lauren Sanchez and Jeff BezosJeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venice wedding has officially kicked off (but not in the Scuola Grande della Misericordia location they’d reportedly originally planned – protesters, they claim, took care of that). Instead, the couple and their guests – speculated to include Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, and Eva Longoria – will move to Arsenale, a complex of shipyards quite literally fortified by ancient stone walls.Those opposed to the undeniably extravagant wedding have a rich seam of complaints to draw from. There are the (many) private jets and superyachts it’s expected to attract. There are the horrific optics of a billionaire’s wedding in a time of increasing inequality to consider. Though horrid, these were at least expected. What took some X users by surprise, however, was the quality of the couple’s invite – which some have dubbed the “ugliest” they’ve ever seen. Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez’s wedding invite unveiled by ABC News:“Please, no gifts” pic.twitter.com/Gwaaqyd4f0— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) June 24, 2025ABC News was the first to share the butterfly-covered invite, which one X user said looked like it was made in Microsoft Paint.“No gifts,” the sheet beseeched guests – instead, they asked attendees to consider donating to the UNESCO Venice Office. But pleas for people to repay the “magical” city have not convinced protestors, and do not seem to have distracted netizens from the, er, questionable design of the invite."graphic design is my passion" 🤭— Alex Florez 💙💛 (@KamiSawZe) June 25, 2025“This invitation looks like an 11-year-old made it,” a comment underneath Pop Crave’s repost of the image reads. I recreated this masterpiece in Microsoft Paint in 15 minutes. pic.twitter.com/YCU1IhyNt4— Whody (@Mr_Incredi_Bull) June 25, 2025Others were far blunter. “For a billionaire that sure is the ugliest fucking invite ever,” a repost says. “This invite design is proof that taste cannot be bought,” yet another comment states.

What in the clip art Word document is that invite when you have the funds for the world’s best graphic designers at your fingertips,” an X says, summarising the general reaction to the ‘art’.truly fascinating how money seems to destroy taste.
