Are you matching your invitations to your color theme?

Thanks ladies and gents. Nancy


These are one of the many that I like; I would use a periwinkle ribbon instead of the black though.

Re: Are you matching your invitations to your color theme?

I don't know what color ink we're going to use. This is our invitation. The BM gowns are going to be celedon, and the flowers are going to be lavendar, white and sage. What do you think for ink?

Re: Are you matching your invitations to your color theme?

My invites don't resemble my fall theme or my colors. They are simple, elegant and classic.
I don't have a picture but they are on ivory background, with taupe writing with pearlescent border.

I think a leaves themed invite would be too informal for villa..JMO

Re: Are you matching your invitations to your color theme?

I think I will match. Right now, I'm trying to incorporate Tiffany's blue with pink but keep it from looking like a baby shower. So, I might send out Tiffany's colored invites, have Tiffany bages and colored boxes on the table, and BM's dresses will be the same color. Everything else will be pink, pink, pink!

Re: Are you matching your invitations to your color theme?

I didn't match. My color scheme was blue, but my invitations were just an ecru card engraved in black.

Re: Are you matching your invitations to your color theme?

I'm going to consider it, but the options for colored invites aren't that great, so I just might end up sticking with something simple with no color. since my color scheme is a aqua/sky blue and hot pink.

My invitation is hearts and the writing is in navy and the inner envelope is lined in ivory and I have mostly everything gold for the reception.

Re: Are you matching your invitations to your color theme?

I am using a white invitation with black writing and black lining inside the envelopes. My colors are fall colors so they don't really match. I don't think it matters. JMO.

Re: Are you matching your invitations to your color theme?

I went with an ecru invitation, because I wanted it to be tradational, but it has a faded taupe leaf pattern that goes with my fall theme, so I chose the ink to be taupe to match the invitation.

It sort of goes with everything else, but
I wouldn't have gotten cranberry ink, or envelope lining to match the BM dresses, b/c it would take away from the formality of it , and I am not have tons of cranberry everywhere, so it might not make sense.

I totally know what you mean. My venue is less formal, but I am trying to keep things a little on the tradional/foraml side. A lot of the leaf invitations, were too casual- here is what I picked. It is very subtle in person, almost tone on tone, and on a hevy, soft ( not shiny) cardstock.
