Sorry gals, I stayed up late last night messing around with the invite. After it was suggested that I layer the response cards witht he flourish - but have it evenly appear when you look at it - I fell in love with the idea. However the time it would take to do it with a hand stamp and embossing powder andheat gun - I thought about making the whole ivite in PS and here's what I came up with.

So #1

 

Photobucket

 

Or # 2 (the one from yesterday)

Gah - I dunno, I like 'em both!  I think I like #2 better, but only a smidge better.  #1 is also gorgeous.

Welcome back to the boards by the way, it's been so quiet without you :P

I like number 1 better.  To me it looks more professional.  If I had my choice..I would choose number 1 but with the wording all on the right (like in number 2).

Where did you find your flourish?  I've been looking for some good ones but haven't been having much luck.

I'll right justify and see what that looks like.

I found them on Designer Digitals :-)

I think #1 is more formal than #2.   But I love both!  I can't decide.

 

What glue are you using?

#1 if the writing can be moved to the right instead of centered. otherwise, i like #2 better.

Deonise - I haven't used anything permanant yet as I'm still doing mock ups - but I will more then likely use Tombo Mono Adhesive, permanant. The blue dispenser.

My pocketfolds are already "together" when I get them so I don't have to stick the pocket up or anything, just the 2 peices of cardstock to the main part of the invite.

I've used it in scrapbooking and other projects before, and it's very good.

number 1, with right justified text. still think that a little bit of flourish on the cards would be a nice touch, but can understand the pain of extra work!! unless you could do it in PS rather than hand stamping....?

Sweeney2Be - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!  You have no idea how happy I am right now!!!  I'm dead tired (trying to get all my work finished up before Christmas) but I can't sleep at all because I'm so excited about my invites.  I googled Designer Digitals and after looking at some of the pictures, found the exact flourish I'm looking for!  I think it's from the same package as yours - Hipster Plumes No. 18.

I 'stole' the image for my mock-up (by right clicking and copying) but I plan to buy the real one to do up my invites.  It says I'll get the image in abr and png format.  If I'm doing my layout in Microsoft Publisher, will those formats work for me?

These are awesome!  I also vote for number one and also liked the suggestion of the right justification of the text.

#1 looks awesome! Looks a little more professional to me! DIY projects like these definately take so much more time than one my think! But your work was definately worth the effort. Beautiful!

This is a toss up - because both are SO beautiful, but I'm going to have to go with choice numero uno! I love both sets of invites though!

I vote for #1. What's the name of the font you are using? It's beautiful!

I really like #1 better. #2 is cute and all, but #1 is just nicer... I can't exactly say why I love it better... but I do! I think it might be because I like that your names are in a diff color & are in all lowercase... hmmm dunno. just love them!
