Invitation Opinions
Okay gals, I'm trying to add a personal touch to and jazz up my invitations. Here are my 2 mock-ups, along with the invitation itself (response & reception cards have the same color and design as the inivtation, btw). Let me say first that these are quickly thrown together, so they're not cut well, centered, etc. as they should be- they were just idea tests. What do you think? Are they cute, or are they too arts-n-crafts? I'm a big girl, so honest opinions please :)
Invitation:
Jacket 1:
Jacket 2 (I think it would be smaller... it seems a little big):
Thanks for your opinions!

Hi Cara, Will you be putting these in envelopes along with the rsvp/cards, etc? (What color are the envelopes?)
I think the idea is nice, but I'm just not crazy about the color. Something brighter? The gray is a touch dull for me, otherwise, I like the jacket idea a lot.
Thanks Tammy! To answer the questions: the invitations are silver, and the jacket is black, not grey. The pictures don't come out very well :( The ribbons are also silver. The whole wedding is basically silver, black, and crystal themed. These will be in the envelopes with the response & reception cards. The envelopes are white and the inner envelopes have a black lining.
Oh, gotcha. You're right, the pics don't do it justice color wise, sorry. I would stick with this then, because it matches your theme. (Cute details w/ the crystal touches, very nice). I like the idea of black lined envelopes too, classy. I'd go with the first pic, with the smaller jacket, I kind of like the idea of some of the invite sticking out a little. But either way is a classy touch.
Hi Cara.
I like your color scheme and the pics definitely don't do it justice. Out of the two designs I like the first one better (the one with the smaller jacket). My only issue is your name pops out of the top but your fiance's doesn't. I'd make the jacket even smaller so that both of your names come out the top.
Cara,
Yep, I third the suggestion that you make the jacket small enough for both your names to "pop" out.
Cara,
I like your invitations and I agree with the others that the first pick looks the best.
I love your color scheme. I actually like the invitation by itself. Yes I am the oddball hehe. But if you really wanted to add your own personal touch, I agree with everyone else that the first jacket would be nicer.
