Ladies,

THIS is what my invite is going to look like!

Now I just have to have the rsvp and reception cards made! The invite is black writing on creme paper and red cardstock behind it. I love the bow... who am I kidding... I love that this is MY invite! What do you think? Honest opinions (good and bad) please.

Oh- my camera sux big time, so the creme looks white.

Hollie, I absolutely love it...great job!

My only 'thing' is that I was very OCD about not using monograms until after you're married since you're technically not Mrs. H. But if you're OK with that, I say go for it!

Using the monograms before we're married doesn't bother me at all. Actually, FH's family calls me Hollie H all the time!

I love these! Different but very classy and I love the bow.

I really like it! The only thing I would say is the reds don't match. The ribbon on the bottom does not match the ribbon on top. Is the bottom cross grain?

The bottom ribbon is grosgrain and the top is satin. In person, the ribbons match perfectly, except for the texture! I think it's my crappy camera.

In the second pic they look like they match. It is probably just the flash from the camera. I really do love them!!! I am a fan of red I love the font and monogram too!

Thanks all! Last night I started compiling the invitation list... we are narrowing down who is invited and who isn't from our 1st list. So much changes in 10 months!
