I need invitation opinions (again)

For those of you that read my post the other day about my invitation dilemma.....you know I was feeling stuck because the invites I loved (Elite) are pricey and the Birchcraft ones which were cheaper seemed like a good alternative.............WELL, I found out they won't put a scrolly symbol thing (motif) on the band in place of the stupid bow, so those invites are OUT!! lol


But luckily for me, my engaged friend ordered a sample from My Gatsby.........I saw them today and I am in love with them!!! You can mix & match and pick everything out on their website.....so I'm thinking about either doing a 3 layer invitation or a 2 layer. The price with assembly (b/c you can save around $150 and assemble them yourselves- not an option I'm really interested in!! lol) is:

150 3 layered invites- $732, and the price for 150 2 layered invites is $665. So really its only a savings of $67 for one less layer.

Now of course the question is which colors do I use for the layers.....here's what I'm thinking......

3 layer- bronze cardstock on bottom layer, then a small border of gold, and then metallic ecru for the top layer.

3 layer- bronze, gold, then coral

2 layer- bronze & gold on top

2 layer- bronze & coral on top (like the sample)


Why has this become such a difficult decision for me!!!!!! I think I need more sleep, then maybe I'd be able to actually MAKE a freakin' decision!!!!!!


BTW.....I also found out a cheaper price today for the Elite invitations- $880 for 150 of them (versus over $1000 I got quoted before).

So what would you do- Elite or My Gatsby?? And if My Gatsby- would you do 2 layers or 3? and which colors??

sorry for the long post....but I feel like I need to get all of these thoughts out!!! thanks so much for listening!!!

Here's a link to my updated album:

INVITATIONS

ETA- Even if no one responds....I think I've already helped myself by having each one side by side.

thanks ladies!!! I'm off to bed!!
