I like them I think they look really nice. I would suggest maybe for the RSVP postcard to have your address on one side and their name and menu selection on the other side. Otherwise there might not be too much room for them to write their name.

I like the first one the best, with the green printed paper. One more thing just so you know, it is "Accommodations" with 2 "m's" - so many people misspell that Im sure many people probably wouldnt notice but just in case :)

I think I like the one titled "mock-up 1" the most. You'll be able to get a lot of infomation on the vertical invite (as opposed to horizontal placement of the one with the green printed paper).

I like the last picture with the solid color green envelope, it looks colorful and cleaner because it's a solid color; the first one with leaves looked too fussy; the solid green one in the last picture looks more chic, the purple accent looks nice

that's just my taste, depends on what you like, go for it whichever choice you decide on, if you love it then go with your heart

I like the look and feel of the first one, but because it is a funny shape, you will more than likely end up having to pay extra for postage. I like the last one for the colors. I have some post card RSVPs (for ideas) if you'd like to see. Just PM me and I can e-mail you a few.

I like the layout of the third one (solid green paper) the best, but if the pockets aren't pre-made, I think it would look super smashing if you did that layout with the leafy green paper instead!

And I LOVE lots of color!

I agree with naangel55 and the spacing of the rsvp. It seems like might be too cramped. I like mock up #1 but I think the green ribbon on top of the purple might be too much green. Can you try it with a different color?

Besides that everything else is looking good.

I can't wait for you to post the finished results.

Mock up 1 is great! I like the green and your monogram. Good idea on drawing everything out first.

How did you punch out the top of the green envelope? I really like it!

I also like the first one best! I have a little suggestion about the RSVP card. The front of it could be the same leaf pattern as is on the invitation, and that would tie everything all together... And, I know that many people do the whole M_________ accept reject thing, but I always feel like that is too cramped to write in both of our names neatly. What we did which made it easier was this:

____ In person

Names:

____ In spirit

Obviously, our wording isn't for everyone, but that way I knew how to make out the escort cards and I provided enough room for the guests to write in the multiple names of family members who were invited (especially useful for friends bringing a date you don't know!)

We also included the website at the bottom of the RSVP card, and many people RSVP'd electronically instead of using the postcard (maybe keeping it as an awesome souveneir ;)

Georgiapeach... I bought those green pockets at Michael's. They are part of a new line called "mix & Mingle". Apparently they are selling them at select stores for a "limited time" I guess to see how the line does.

Thaanks for all the input.. I am doing a few m ore mock up's and tweaking .. I'll be back for more advice!! mockup invite.. honest opinions needed : wedding invitations diy Icon Biggrin
