Re: what color ink are u using on ur invites?
Gray/silverish...to match the ribbon, as an accent color to all that navy! I ordered them the other night- woohoo!!
You can definitely do black!! That's always the classic solution! I think I'd go with black if I were you- or another subtle accent color....

I think that black would look good. Silver would also look nice. We are using a green, since our invites will be ivory.

Re: what color ink are u using on ur invites?
i too was thinking of doing a greyish silver since my ribbon will be silver. but i'm afraid it will be too light since i'm having them printed on metallic card stock. what do u think? are u using regular or metallic card stock?

Re: what color ink are u using on ur invites?
What color metallic card stock? Is it dark or light? This gray-ish silver ink I'm using looks just fine on an ivory-ish paper. Are you getting them professionally printed or are you DIY? With raised lettering it should show up I would think.

Hmmmm...I'm not really sure then. If it's a dark silver or gray, it might work. But I'd think your invite person might know best!

Re: what color ink are u using on ur invites?
Our invites are ivory with a champagne pearl embossing around the edges. We used a sage ink color. The light green almost looked like a champagne color against the ivory card stock.
I like the idea of silver against the lilac. I'm not crazy about black ink especially when you have so many other color options.

Mine was a cream color metallic cardstock, the printing on the invite and envelope were done in a sage green, to go w/ my colors.
It think you will be fine w/ black, it's always classic.

Probably brown--it's also one of my colors. But even if it wasn't, I would probably use it. It's softer than black, but still dark enough.

Just realized you said you have a black and white invite. Then I would use black.
