    If I show one more invitation proof to the boy he may shoot me- so I'm asking you'all.  which do you prefer?  This is a double-sided invitation.

    First (2) go together, and Second (2) go together. 

    Only thing that's changed is the scripty font & background color.

    I think they're both sweet- but I see that your wedding's in the evening. I think the first font style is a little more appropriate for an evening ceremony/reception. Also the back of the second seems a little "scattered".

    Congrats on a beautiful venue! and how unique to get married on a boat!  When I lived in Philly I used to walk past there quite often but never ended up eating there before I left the city.  I like the first choice, the brightness of the blue pops against your other colors.

    I prefer the second b/c of the waves in your card mimics the waves of the font.  Both mesh together better.  Nice invites!

    I like the first better.  I agree with the prior poster -- the font/spacing allow the colors of the invitation to pop more.

    I like the second one, its seems more differnt than the usual fonts.  I am partial to fun fonts over the traditional ones though....

    I think the second font goes better with the overall style of the invitation. It's not a formal design, so why make it stuffy with formal script? The second font is more fun.

    I love the font on the second one. Great invitations. Do you know what the font is? Also, great idea to print doublesided. I'm sure it is a great money saver and frankly I'm constantly losing the inserts with invitations and scrambling to find them two days before the wedding.

    I like the first one better.

    There's something about the font on the second one that's always bothered me, and now I see it all over the place.

    PS- it's called "scriptina"

    What's so funny is that I have a very clear favorite- and the bees seem split.  Just goes to show that everything's subjective.

    I think we're going to go with the Second Color Choice- but with Bickley script instead of Scriptina. 

    When I get the new proofs I'll post.
