    So I am in the middle of making my "Will you be my..." invitations for my ladies.  I am making the mock-ups and am stuck on whether to put the words on velum OR my decal on velum.  I have attached crummy cell phone pics of what each one looks like.

    Picture 1- Words on velum, decal on cardstock

    Picture 2- Decal on velum, words on cardstock

    Thanks in advance for your help BEES!!In the middle of a DIY and NEED Bee Advice :  wedding WordsIn the middle of a DIY and NEED Bee Advice :  wedding Dress

    I like the dress on the vellum.  Very classy and much easier to read!

    I like the dress behind the vellum. To me, it looks more professional.

    would it make a difference if I changed the color of the cardstock?

    I think dress in front. I've found that if vellum gets hot, the letters smear-hard to read and not a great keepsake.

     

    Just my opinion though!

     

    P.S. They look wonderful! Great job!!

    I'd do dress on the vellum, but words in a bigger font on a lighter color card stock. Make use of all the extra room under the dress (maybe their name on the front, and the words going all the way to the bottom on the cardstock.)
