DIY Attempt on Invites... need opinions!
So, I loved the ultra modern super chic invites, but 20-30 bucks a pop ... ![]()
So here is my attempt to imitate... unfinished, just placing together...
I decided to ignore tradition and do them super informal and a little more fun. The colors aren't perfect on it, due to monitors and shrinking pic, but they will match the pocketfold and flowers. The script writing is in Russian and doesn't translate exactly but is meant to give the essence of the English text, since nothing ever translates exactly. FH family is mostly Russian, so I'm trying to show the melting pot. And I thought it would be fun design.
I got a great price to just letterpress that one invite panel, on thick cotton paper. Just cause I'm in love with it, and it will be the only acid free paper.
The pocket fold is metallic navy and just tied with a shimmery lime ribbon.
I'm going to line envelopes in that green paper, I love it, but I think its too green? maybe? And I might do the thick cotton envelopes cause they will letterpress return address on them for free! yay!
What do you think is it too crazy? Too loud? Too green?
I don't want to ask too many people around me, since I want it to be a little bit of a surprise.
What else should I try, the navy seemed to quiet everything down so I used it. The groom and other men are wearing navy suits. My colors are from the bouquet:
