Promise this is the LAST time: Opinions please
I've narrowed it down to 3.#1 - My only concern is that cardstock will not be thick enough. It comes with a vellum wrap which I will also add a ribbon to. The cardstock will be in 'merlot' with black ink.
#2 - This is the pricier one. The bottom layer will be brown and the top layer merlot.
#3 - The least expensive. Im also concerned about the thickness of the cardstock

I like #1 the best - but only because of the blue.#2 seems to be the nicest in the color combo you want.

Diva - Can you get samples or go to a real store and take a look at them in person?I wouldn't order anything until seeing it in person!

Re: Promise this is the LAST time: Opinions please
I like #2 best but I also really like #1. If you need to stay close to your budget - you can't go wrong with #1.Will you be able to read the black in on the merlot cardstock?

Re: Promise this is the LAST time: Opinions please
I like #2 the best...I agree with the above post, is there any way you can see these in person? That might help your decision as well.

I love #1... And just because its less expensive it doesn't mean the card stock is cheap. Mine were very inexpensive but I was very impressed with the sample.

I wanted to get eveyones opinions before I ordered the sample. The first two are from the Jean M essentials collection.

I think viewing the invitation books is a HUGE help. I had ordered loads of samples online and ended up ordering something completely different when I sat down and compared size, quality, finish etc.

Re: Promise this is the LAST time: Opinions please
I think #2 is more your style and would work well with the colors you chose.

Re: Promise this is the LAST time: Opinions please
I chose #1 only because I, personally, didn't like the font of #2, is that just an example or can you get something more flowey.

Re: Promise this is the LAST time: Opinions please
I learned when looking for mine that I apparently have very expensive stationery taste
. So, of course, without reading what you wrote and looking at the pics, I already voted for number two. It's sooooo gorgeous!! But definitely check out that cardstock weight, I have to say I was a little disappointed in the cardstock of the 3 samples I received from them.
