I don't think people would notice, but it does make things more unified.
Thinking of the recent weddings I have attended, I cannot say for certain whether or not the invites matched. They probably did.
Consider that you might want to have a scrapbook in the end, and have a sample of all of your paper stuff, and if it doesn't match it may look off.
I don't think they "have" to. I've heard of brides do invites completely opposite of they're projected themes.
Ours matched but that's cause we wanted them to.
I say do what you like =)
Maybe in your design you could add a design in those color(s) to them?.. or even the color of the print?
Ours matched but they definitely don't have to. Is there an ivory option for the invitations that you're looking at? I think that it would coordinate well with your colors!
I agree with the above posters. I don't think anything about the invite has to match. I think it's more improtant to have the overall feeling of the invites match the feeling of the wedding/reception. For example: I wouldn't send out something super formal with fancy designs and muted colors if the theme of my wedding was going to be a luau.
Nobody is going to bring the invitation, hold it up to a table cloth and call you out for the colors not matching.
"Traditionally" you're not even supposed to use colors AT ALL on your invitation. It was considered a major tacky-fest if you did. Plain white or ivory/ecru, that's it. Nowadays we have more options but it's still FINE to not do the "wedding colors" thing. Do not let the matchy-matchy police tell you otherwise!
I don't think you have to match the colors. I know a lot of people do because it's sort of the first peek people get at what your wedding will be like, so if you can reflect your colors and/or theme, it's kind of cool. I plan on using my colors on my invites.
I'm not. I would never find the green I am using. I went with a classic white with silver.

Should the colors of your invites match the colors of your wedding?
I have my eye on some nice black and white invites to DIY but my colors are gold, marroon and ivory. What do you think?
