    I'm doing my own invitations and would love to hear what people think!  I'm a professional designer (fashion, A&F) and don't do alot of graphic design but I'm pretty happy with these... however i might be kidding myself so please any honest opinion is welcome!  I only have the main invitation card done and haven't moved on to the other components yet, but they will all follow this general feeling and design.  the colors don't show up on screen perfectly but all the motifs are a pale pink and the text is a coral/orange color.

    thanks!

    I really love the blend of all the fonts, they work well together. Clever take, and one I've not yet seen. :o)

    thanks everyone for the kind words :)  ccranetobe: i have considered starting an etsy shop tho i wonder if i'd really put the time needed into it lol.  but i should try!  and Tonya2010, i am from Columbus OH, but my fiance is from Fort Thomas KY and the NKY/Cinci area is kind of central to everyone coming to the wedding so we're having it there.

    very cute!  usually, with that many fonts it can get busy/hard to read, but the way you presented it makes it still readable and pretty =)

    They are so unique and original - very "outside of the box" from what you see traditionally.
