    Ladies of the Hive, I need your help choosing an invitation design... as busy brides who understand the invite sets the theme/tone of the wedding, your opinions mean the most!Please let me know what you think! What elements to combine, nix, increase or decrease.

    I really like #1 or #4. I don't think the swirly corners really add anything to the design. #1 and #4 are much more elegant, but interesting with the seahorse design.

    I like the framing of the second one, it draws your eyes inward!

    I love the simplicity of number 4, it has just a little more then 1 so it doens't look plain; just simple & elegant :)

    I like number 4 the best, but I like the how the flourish in the middle of number 3 flows more than the flourish in number 4.  Would you consider using that at the top of your invitation and replacing the sand dollar with your seahorse monogram?  Love the color choices too.

    The off center names are kind of throwing me off (what can I say, I love symmetry!) but aside from that I like the 3rd and 4th ones best!

    I am so torn between one and four. But I think I like four better because it gives it a little something with the swirls. If you want more simple yet great go with one. Not really any help but I think 4.!

    In #4, I like the way it is framed up without being too busy. I also think it's funny because my fiancee is completely freaked out by seahorses...we could never have these invitations! :)

    @elle I didn't think to use the flourish from #3 at the top... I will have to try it with the sea horse and compare - great idea! 

    @teris I know, it's throwing me off too but it's because I erased our last names

    How would #3 look without the flourish above the location?  I think it draws the eye downward.  Or maybe put it at the top?

    I really like the elegance of #4.  I don't think the framing of 2 and 3 really do anything for the invites, and number 1 seems too boring to me.

    #1! The others are all cute but have a lot going on... I also love the rounded corners of the first one... I think the sea theme is a bit in contrast with lots of swirls and flourishes, so the simplicity of #1 really stands out to me!

    I love #4 too (I see it's running in the lead). The rounded corners and side to side florish are perfect. Great invite!

    I like number 2 and number 4, but is there a reason that the text is oddly aligned? It looks unusual to me...

    @driftslikesmoke I erased our last names - that's why it looks wonky :/

    @Tee I'm beginning to see a trend! #4 is def winning and most likely for the reasons you describe!

    I voted for #4 because I think #2 and #3 have too much going on and #1 has too much blank space around the edges.  Cute design!

    I also voted for #4 but I also like #3.  If you scooted the text up a smidge in #4, could you add that cool flourish that's in #3?  I like the sand dollar.  :-)  Good work overall.  I'd never be able to come up with four different designs!!

    I like the swirls on the corners as it is a subtle design element to reflect waves / water! Very beautiful designs!!

    My vote is for number 3, I like how the corners frame the invitation and draw your eyes inward.  I also like the sand dollar flourish.  But they all look great.

    It's a tuff call between #3 and #4 - maybe I can modify the size and use one as a response postcard?

    Number 4 is absolutely beautiful. 1 is also a nice choice, but I'm definitely a fan of the "swirly seahorse" design!

    #4, but I couldn't put my finger on what didn't look right, and after reading all the posts, I realized that it was the fact that everything isn't centered.  I think it would look much nicer if the words were centered.

    I vote number one.  Simple, elegant, love the rounded corners, and it frames your names nicely.  Sometimes simple is best, I am not a huge fan of things "too busy".
