TikTok star Becca Bloom was called out by her fans after they noticed an embarrassing mistake ahead of her lavish wedding in Italy.
The 27-year-old social media star, who boasts 4.3 million followers on TikTok and an additional 2.3 million on Instagram, sent out eye-catching invitations for her wedding at Lake Como, albeit with noticeable etiquette blunders.
The chic cream-and-gold invites beckoned guests to Villa Balbiano on August 28, but attentive followers quickly noticed the awkward phrasing: ‘Request the pleasure of your company of your presence.’
Others noticed another blunder – as the card bizarrely read: ‘Three Thirty O’Clock in the Afternoon.’
Wedding etiquette experts say the phrase is redundant – the wording should be either ‘three-thirty in the afternoon’ or ‘half past three.’
The blunder sparked mocking comments online, especially given Bloom’s reputation as the so-called ‘queen of RichTok.’
She is well-known for her Hermès shopping sprees, elaborate caviar dinners prepared by a private chef for her cat, and personal-finance advice spoken in her trademark soothing tone.
But online critics wasted no time ridiculing her wedding invitation mistakes.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the mistake on Becca Bloom’s lavish Villa Balbiano invitations, which bizarrely read ‘Three Thirty O’Clock in the Afternoon’

One individual pointed out the phrase as a ‘HUGE and glaring mistake,’ commenting: ‘It’s frankly embarrassing that no one noticed it, especially after spending thousands on them.’
Another mocked the rich influencer with: ‘Made in china to cut costs.’
Others said they couldn’t believe she hadn’t scrapped the batch entirely, with one writing: ‘Oh I would reprint if I were her!’
A commenter who had used a similar high-end stationer complained: ‘$50k in paper goods and I still had to triple check everything!’
Someone else added a sharp comment: ‘It seems if you can afford to pay for perfect weather, you could hire an English professor to ensure the invites are proofread.’
Bloom, whose real name is Rebecca Ma, has openly shared her love story with her TikTok followers.
She has said she first met her now-husband, software engineer David Pownall, at a Philz Coffee shop in Palo Alto in December 2019.
What should have been a quick drink turned into a 15-hour first date as the pair wandered through her childhood neighborhood and later grabbed sushi.
Critics also mocked the redundant line ‘request the pleasure of your company of your presence,’ branding it a glaring etiquette fail

Four years later, in July 2023, David staged a surprise proposal during a Positano sunset boat ride.
Bloom told followers he disguised it as an ‘Instagram photoshoot’ before dropping to one knee.
For the wedding itself, held on August 28, 2025, the couple chose the opulent Villa Balbiano on Lake Como.
Bloom told Vogue they settled on the date after a fortune teller assured her it was lucky.
The couple kept the guest list to just 60 for a more personal event, while their families still plan a more expansive traditional Asian wedding celebration back in California.
She described herself as a ‘type B bride’ who took a relaxed approach – but her wedding wardrobe was as bold as her social media content.
For the rehearsal dinner, she wore a vintage Chanel couture dress with an ice cream motif.
Her ceremony look was a custom Oscar de la Renta gown embroidered with peonies – a tribute to her Chinese heritage.
Despite the invitation blunder, the couple hosted an opulent ceremony and reception in Italy
She accessorized with Van Cleef & Arpels high jewelry and a Tiffany Victoria band, which she noted was also the first fine jewelry collection she ever owned.
David wore Ralph Lauren Purple Label and Thom Browne.
Despite forecasts of thunderstorms, the rain stopped as guests arrived. She walked down the aisle to ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ while Pownall cried at the altar.
The reception featured truffle pasta, heartfelt toasts, and an Italian millefoglie cake the couple built by hand. Bloom later changed into a shattered-glass Oscar de la Renta dress for the party.
Later, rain returned – but instead of spoiling the night, it created the day’s most cinematic moment.
Bloom was contacted by Daily Mail for comment.
