Is it a weird to not have invite colors that match the wedding colors?
I ask because I am thinking of a navy blue and ivory invite (FI loves navy blue) but the wedding colors will be purple and lavender.
The only reason for this is the invite design that I really like does not come in purple, lavender or even anything close to my wedding colors.
Thanks.

I don't think it matters. I don't think the invitations have to match wedding colors. Most people probably won't even notice.

I agree that the colors don't matter. Get the ones you LOVE

FYI - I really like the idea of an ivory 7 x 7 pocket fold, navy blue background card, ivory invite with navy blue lettering - all sealed with navy blue sheer organza.
I actually think if you're going with a color invitation that it should go with your wedding colors.

I don't think too many people notice if the invitations fit in with the theme, just pick the ones you like best.

My colors are plum and lavendar and the invitations that I love are black and white! It doesn't matter one bit, IMO.

LOL- Katrina I'm using the pocketfolds for our programs. Did you check on mygatsby.com I'm pretty sure they had the colors you're looking for.

i dont think it really matters unless you had your heart completely set on them matching your wedding colors. if you didn't then i say just go for the ones you loved.

I don't think it matters.
My invites: White Silver Grey
My Wedding Colors: Ivory Red
Go for it each color scheme sounds lively.

Thank you so much for this post!!! I have been looking everywhere for simple and elegant invitations with a small lighthouse and here there are!!!!! Unfortnately my color is purple is well and I wanted to incorporate that into my invitation. Oh well, I guess I have to choose.

I'm not matching really either. Instead of light blue I'm using a dark sapphire-navy for invites. I really don't think it matters. Its cool to have a theme from the STD to all the reception stuff but hard to do!

I don't think you need to match. If you really love the invite, don't worry about it. Neither my STD nor my invites will match with my colors. (I would have liked it to match, but my colors wouldn't look good with the design).

IMO - I think they should match. But I don't think it's weird if they don't . Check Envelopments

I ordered a sample from mygatsby.com of the 7 x 7 pocketfold invite. I'm not sure if robin's egg is lavender or not. It looks light blue on my computer at work? We'll see.
If not, I can just do a white pocketfold, white invite card with purple lettering and a purple ribbon closure.
