Invitations are turning into a nightmare!

I reallly hate this...I feel like I've been working on my invitations for soooooo long and now I'm really not happy or feeling the colors I have picked.

My colors are gold and red...but I'm strongly reconsidering the red as being the more dominant color. I just keep thinking X-MAS....Ughhhhh!!!

What do I do?????

When I see that color combo, I don't think Christmas, I think India for some reason. Better?

Lol...Jamie, that was by second worry- they are Indian and Chinese colors!!! Let me tell you- if I was either, I would not be having this problem at all! lol...I would be happy!!!

I think the invites are beautiful..but if you think the red is too much maybe switch it with the gold...or add ivory?.. maybe adding a more neutral color will break it up.

Im afraid of this too...colors are so hard!!!

honestly- all the girls know
it took me like 6 months to find invites
if your not 100 percent

try it again
i treated it like my dress
until i was able to say, these are the invites

find new ones

hey, your only planning on doing this once righT? find the perfect invites haha

You know...that's a great idea- maybe if I add a third color it'll look much better. Thanks...

Exactly....it took me forever to find a dress. I feel like I'm reliving it w/ invites!!! Honestly, I never thought it would be this hard. I'm insanely picky!!

I would add an accent color and then maybe a deeper shade of red in a matte finish instead of shimmer? (Since the gold will still have that 'bling' effect) What do you think? I'm sure whatever you decide they will be beautiful
