Weddingbee boards

My FH and I are having trouble deciding (agreeing) on an invitation design. So, I'd thought I'd ask the bees for help!!

Option #1

Option #2

Option #3

Well, What do you think?? The invitation will be printed on a natural white paper and be part of an pocket invitation

Ok that didn't really work so well, huh?

Option #1

Option #2

Option #3

Blerg! How do you get them to fit!

Option #1

Option #2

Option #3

Yay! I finally did it!!

So now bees, tell me which one you like!! 

#2.

I like #2 the best also.  #1 & #3 looks too busy with the addition of the box for the info

Number 2, Number 2!

Wow! Lot's of votes for #2!!

Yeah, I pretty much designed these myself.  I found a leaf and flower design I liked on istockphoto and then pretty much ripped it apart! I didn't have time to draw the whole thing from scratch in Illustrator so I wanted to use pre-made pieces. I replaced all the flowers with clovers (to up the irishness!)

I have matching STD's that I am printing on magnet paper. 

Number 3 is the prettiest and most original imo.  Number 2 seems to echo a lot of the designs I have already seen. Number 1 is too dark.

I agree with Vyeta, but I still like #2 best. It's the least busy of the three but I love the dots on #1. Regardless, you did a great job designing them yourself.

I like #2, too!  I think it looks softer, a bit more elegant, maybe?  They're all pretty, though.  Good work!

omg those are great, I have been trying to find non cheesy irish wedding invites I love #2 I wish I was that creative are you willing to send your template

jennred, I can send you a template. What kind of file do you want?? I created them because we wanted a touch of irish on the invites and all the ones I found were over the top.

 I also have to say I get a completely different feel after I print them out. number one isn't really that dark. The background is 20% shade of the darker color and it prints out a sort of antique like color and really makes the copy frame pop! My FH likes the simplicity of number 2. 

#2 is definitely more traditional.  But if you want something a little different, that looks like it is more one of a kind, go with one of the others.  Either one - the dots in the first separate the wording section a little better though.

Thanks missm!! You have just given me an idea! I'll try it out tomorrow and post new examples.

Ok...here is another option

Option #4

Ok...one last one. Since a lot of you said it was too busy..I darkened the background up so the white frame would pop out.

Option #5

I loved all your suggestions and I came to realize the different invites gave off different vibes. So, I think whichever one I choose will depend on the feel of the wedding. If I want it more elegant I will go with #2, but if I want it more funky I will choose one of the other ones.

Right now I am looking at cardboard vases in a pyramid shape for centerpieces so I think that leans toward funky, but who knows what I'll end up with. I have a hard time making up my mind (if you couldn't tell)!  You should see how many different monograms I have made!
