Weddingbee boards

I spent last weekend at a family member's house, and a group of three of us put together wedding envelopes. I wanted to just get them done and over with, but I'm worried that I might have compromised too much. I'm not really happy with the final product. I'm not sure what I can do at this point - we spent so much time on them and they're already done. I think it's the gray liner that I'm not really into. Any suggestions on what I can add/change to make it look better?

P.S. This was one of the first ones I made, so the sewing is not so great. After number 4 or 5, they were looking a lot better. I'll use these for close friends that I can explain it to. :) And, I'm going to make the zip code size a lot smaller.

More info needed:

What are your colors? Is the red the inner envelope? If you have silver I think you are fine. You could just switch up inner envelopes to same color as outer- although I like the red. Honestly these are fine. If really bothered is it possible to place a black or dark inner liner where silver is?

Thanks for the feedback everyone :)

Our main color is a claret red - a deep, darker red. We're also using a lot of white, and shades of light yellow (mainly in the flowers.) The red you see in the pic is actually just a placeholder piece of cardstock, to make sure it's the right size.

I've never worked with stamps before, and I don't have a gocco machine. Any suggestions on what type/color? 

You know, I might have spoken too soon. I just printed an actual invite - I hadn't done that before because I'm trying to save my nice paper/ink - but before I made any additional changes I thought I'd try it with the actual insert. And, it looks a whole lot better. I still think the gray needs something, but I'm pretty relieved right now. :) 

The better envelope makes a difference too!

I love the grey and claret together.  If there both colors are represented anywhere else in the invitation suite, you should be fine to leave the grey liner as is.

I think I was posting at the same time you were posting your pics.

You're right, it does look nicer with the better envelope.  I think it would really help pull everything together if you changed the branches from brown (on my monitor they look brown anyway) to grey.

Overall, I think you've done a great job with the design!  I diy'd my own invitations and in retrospect, I was my harshest critic--but it was all so worthwhile in the end!!!

Thanks everyone for your help! I think I am going to look around for a stamp (red ink) and see how it looks. Thank goodness it actually looks a lot better with the white invitation... what a relief!

Oh my goodness! LOOKS perfect- don't change a thing- send them out! Move on :) Great job!
