Invite question - colors

Original post by akaMrsT

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 actually think if you're going with a color invitation that it should go with your wedding colors.



I agree...I say either match your color, or go white/ivory. I didn't want to match, so I picked out a 3 layer ivory invite with ivory silk brocade around the edges. the silk brocade is also the envelope lining.

Okay, my screen is really off color. I went to a coworkers computer to look at the mygatsby.com pocketfolds.

They clearly have amethyst (purple).

Thanks ladies.

If you are worried about matching, what about silver and white? I thought I saw that on the website . . .

You talked me into it ladies.

The place I really like does not have purple or lavender cardstock or pocketfolds but they do have white. They also have purple & lavender ink and purple & lavender satin ribbon and sheer organza.

Instead of ivory & navy, we are probably going with white pocketfolds, white invites and purple raised lettering with purple sheer organza closures.

Oh yeah, did anyone find mygatsby.com to be expensive?

That doesn't matter at all, I didn't do it. I don't even think any of the guests will remember, or notice for that matter.
