need quick opinion re place card holders (ordering TODAY!)

I am doing escort cards (literally cards inside an envelope. The envelope has the couple's name on it and the card inside tells them 'You are seated at Table X')

I want to use place card holders for them and really love these glass grapes. It fits with our theme of wine favors, etc. Now, my colors are navy with white and pink as accent colors. My escort card envelopes are pale blue and the calligraphy on them will be navy.

Can I do both the pink and white grapes, or should I stick with only the white? I feel like the white might be too plain, but I just want to make sure that the pink with the blue envelopes won't look silly.

Here are the place card holders:

And here are the envelopes so you can see the color blue - it's light.

ETA - for the heck of it, here are the cards that will go inside the envelope (the font is the same color as the envelope):

I LOVE that idea. I was just introduced to the mini-envelope thing and I think I'm going with it too.

I think you can go with both. I think mixing the colors will look nice.

The white and pink combo looks good.

Thanks, ladies!

I think I'll stick with my original plan to order both the pink and white place card holders. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't nuts. (I'm not always the best with colors and this stuff!)

Thank you!

Ladies...I saw a great thing yesterday, wanted to share it!

At a place in commack, they have for rental a table number stand thing....I don't know how to explain it, but its a huge golden frame with a calligraphy list of your guests and their table numbers...

It comes with a stand and they print two copies of the list, one for you to keep and one for the frame...

I thought it was great for some of us that are in a time crunch!

Just wanted to share!
