    Invitation poll :  wedding diy envelopes invitation green brown Elton RSVP

    OK ladies - I've been agonizing over my invitations for months and it is time to send them to the printer and I'm still hesitant - so . . .

    I'm posting a pic of them - tell me what you think. 

    This is for an afternoon wedding - ceremony in a garden and an hors d'oeuvres reception afterwards on the adjacent terrace overlooking the lake.  I was going for a kind of casual, organic, breezy garden feel.

    I am planning matching green envelopes for the inner envelope and the response card, and maybe a chocolate brown outer envelope (addressed in white).

     

    BTW - the colors looks weird on the computer, but it is matched to the moss envelopes at the Paper Source (kind of a sage-y green) and the brown is a rich chocolate color.

    Use the pic of the tree with the plus sign to add pics in the tool bar - it is better at taking bigger files!

    I think for a garden wedding, they are very pretty.

    I think they're great!  I especially like the RSVP card.

    I do like the invites but I do not like the black line going down the paper with the dots. I think it would look nice without that.

    I agree, the line with the dots looks a little out of place. Everything else looks great!

    I like the dots, but I think they might be too harsh! It's such a soft and beautiful and romantic invite, but the dots are kinda jarring.

    I agree that the dots seem a bit out of place, but other than that, they are beautiful!

    What about a vertical option, without the offending dots?

    I was trying to make a similar version of another invitation that I loved that was WAY out of my pricerange.

    Here was my inspiration for the dots.
