I haven't seen your original one but I love this! It's so modern and pretty. Not sure if you have edited it yet but I would word the reception part as:
"Reception following ceremony"
"Reception to follow immediately after ceremony"
or something of that sort. People will probably get the point that it's at the same location if it's right after the ceremony.
Look good! I like the background graphic. And of course, the pink and black!
@ shortcherriez - good point on the reception working, I have focused so much on the overall appearance that I haven't looked too much at the working ...
I am attaching the original here:

The script font and the new flourish are way better in your re-worked version. I'm not sure about the main font though. Maybe Garamond or something a little more classic?
@marigold - I tried garamond, and it looked a little heavy compared to the script and the flourish ... let me grab a quick screen shot.

Oh yeah, that is heavy. Hm. I used Trajan Pro and Palatino Linotype (or something like those; I forget which right now) and maybe that's what I was thinking... it was a light serif font and that's the type of font I imagine would work well there. But if it's between Garamond and the font you have at the top? The one at the top is way better.
Personally for the main font I like the first version! It's a very cute invite. great work.
Love the design, but just curious as to how you're doing these. Are these going to be DIY invites or are you sending them to a printger? How will you be getting the white text on?
Great invitations!! I don't know how picky you want to be on the wording, but I think technically is "Two Thousand Ten," no "and". I could be wrong on this, but that's what I've always heard.
I love the invitations - they are gorgeous! Just wanted to throw that date thing out there, in case you're picky. :-)
EDIT: Just saw you fixed it on the updated invitation. Never mind!
@missrobot My fiance has a pro-quality photo printer that we can use to print these. They are a little ink-heavy, but we can still print these on the white photo-paper then mount them to a pocketfold, so these will be DIY. I am not sure wether we will print matte or glossy, obviously there will be some test-prints done!
I definitely like the newer version. Can you move the "&" closer to your name? It looks a little low, and closer to your FI's name. We used Century Gothic for our invites. It has the same look as the one you have there, but a tiny bit more modern.
they look great! I noticed the first version explains the receptions is apps and desserts- you may want to reword the new one to mention that as well:
Cocktail reception to follow, or Cocktails and dancing immediately following
Just a thought- people may show up expecting a meal:) Good luck- they look great!
@mschampagne - I changed the wording, because we have decided to do a gourmet burger bar (I had to steal the idea when I saw it on another thread) ... so people will get a meal (just not the kind of meal they expect ... LOL - we are keeping the burger bar on the DL!) It doesn't fit out "vintage/glam feel" but I don't care! But thanks for the eagle eye! My mom and sister (both with english degrees) are proofing the entire suite for me.
Thanks for all the input! I am so happy with the latest version!
I really liked the second version has so much flow on it - Great Job!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Them!
What program did you use to create them?
@ Future Mrs.Martin - I used pages from the iwork suite to make them. It was actually really easy with that program. I spent the most time fiddling with word placement and playing with fonts!
I love this new reworked on. It flows and looks modern. I love your colors and your design! I really like this one!
I think they look very nice and like the new flourish. I agree with the wording that Mrs. Champagne suggested btw!
I would be very worried about printing all that black ink. Have you test printed them on the photo paper yet?
I love the graphic art on the newer version (the background leafy art)! Did you create it yourself? Love, love, love it!
I definitely love the new and re-worked version!

I need some opinions ...
I just re-worked my invites (again) ... new fonts and a new flourish. Let me know what you think!
