So my FSIL's mom works for a printing company and I can get wedding invitations 50% off...great! I picked out a design motnhs ago and didn't think about it again, until now, when I actually have to make a decision.
Enter etsy, and about half a dozen wedding invitations I *love*. After seeing these, my original invite is not as exciting to me, and not fitting my theming as well as these others. I have done some more looking on the printing co's website, and I just feel like I can't find anything that matches the ones I found on etsy. They are either underwhelming, or not customizable (aka not in my color scheme).
Of course, with all the inserts and calligraphy, the etsy ones will cost almost twice as much.
*SIGH*
I don't know what to do.
ETA: with pics
This is the original one I liked...would be sage green bow and navy writing:
My two favs from etsy:
another option from etsy, not my favorite, but its printable so it would be cheaper:

I like the original and the pink one. It is a tough decision to make and I didn't want to spend alot on invitations. Despite knowing that people throw them out I couldn't help but fall in love with something fancy and had to have it.
It's funny because invitations used to be the thing I cared least about! Until I got a few wedding invitations and realized it really sets the tone for the wedding. So we'll see who wins, my heart or my pockets.
