i love JeanM invitations. But do they come with respond cards?? or how does that work?

---

No, the Jean M invites do not come with RSVP cards. They are separate but not expensive. I picked 125 of the panel RSVP w/ envelope and they cost $92.

Go to My Jean M and click on the pull down invitations menu - at the bottom is says enclosures. Once you click that link you can pick reception cards, RSVP cards, direction cards etc.

Numero seis.

I must say Kdrainey, you are on point with your planning, researching and preparing. When I grow up I want to be a planner just like you

I'm a little obsessed I think.

Not at all! I wish I had 1/2 of the creativity you have. Your wedding will be fab-u-licious. At the rate your going you will be worry free way before the wedding. Which is what we all want to be. You go girl!!

Kdrainey: Did you (or anyone else) have any trouble previewing the invites on the site?? Everytime I want to, it doesnt show half of it. Arrrgh!!

No, I was on there for a while too changing the card stock and ribbons over and over.

Great minds think alike. It's a very elegant invite and matches well with all of my top 4 halls.

Did you get a sample? Is the paper heavy? I wnat more than 80 lb card stock - maybe even more than 110 lb.

I like the silver writing too (and the white writing) ont he darker background. It just seems a little more formal than the white with grape or orchid ink.

We'll see once I get the samples in though.

Did you get ink samples too? I asked via e-mail but have not heard back yet.

The samples from Jean M are a little weird. The samples are $5 which is a lot considering that they don't even send you a sample of the invite--they send you a 'color kit' which has your choice of 4 different colored papers and 4 different ribbons (you can mix & match grossgrain and satin).

The paper felt rather thick but I'm not sure what the weight was. They had the words 'Jean M.' along with something else written on the front of the paper in thermographic ink, which was good but a little shiny in my opinion.

It's been rather difficult though finding 'different' invitations (i.e. something other than white or ecru single panels) in paper that is really thick or from companies that do anything but flat printing. So, Jean M is still in the running but I do have concerns about not having an ACTUAL invitation to look at.

The Jean invites that you and I are considering are 5'x7' in case you were curious.

---

Yes, I was curious about the size. It's not one the website although there is tons of info about each piece that little tidbit is left out.

Another Jean M invite bride. Hmmmmm.... I don't know. The dark purple might be a bit too dark. One of my colors is silver but I wasn't happy with the grey ribbon that came with my sample... too me it wasn't bright enough. It looked a bit grey instead of silver. This is a tough one.

Are your colors a dark purple or a lavender?

I do like a bit of white thrown in there for crispness.
