So aggravated... FMIL & Invitation vent - need your opinion
Original post by Lools
Ok so yesterday I get my invitation sample from Pippy's Sweets. There are some changes I have to make but overall I really love it. The pocketfold is a dark brown and I will have a pink ribbon around it. A few minutes ago FH calls me to tell me he thinks maybe we should try a different pocketfold color. Right away I knew this wasn't coming from him, but from FMIL who probably talked to him this morning about it.
Last night he liked the brown a lot, now he's telling me how dark brown is maybe too dark for a wedding invitation and maybe we could change it to light pink or something. SO I called him out on it because I knew this wasn't coming from him. He admitted that his mom talked to him about it this morning and I told him that I didn't want to talk about it with him anymore because I was getting pi$$ed cause I know this isn't his original idea and that I know she talked to him about it and tried to change his mind.
I want to keep it brown and had planned to do brown all along! BMs are wearing mocha dresses, GM are probably wearing dark brown tuxes and pink and orange are my accent colors.
I could tell in his voice that he knew I was on to him and FMIL.
So what do you think? Is brown bad for a pocketfold?? I don't think so at all and I see it all the time! I see black, red, dark blue, etc. pocketfolds. I think it looks elegant and different! Not all invitations need to be white, ivory or pastel!!

I did black pocketfolds. and my invites are black and white.
I didnt ask my FMIL or mom. I just ordered them. Confirmed with FH he liked it , so we got it.
Its YOUR wedding...always remember that.
Hey Ida! yeah well, we showed the sample to her last night and I could tell she wasn't thrilled with it, but I didn't care. Todd and I have been totally doing the invitations on our own and this was the first time she had seen anything to do with it.
We're going to keep the brown cause we like it and I especially like it. I think her opinion is just really outdated. But what pi$$ed me off was that she tried to convince Todd the brown was bad and then he was stupid and fell for it and tried to talk to me about it!!
I told him I'm not naive and I knew what was going on as soon as it came out of his mouth.
