Which DIY Invite?? Poll

Original post by BKtoLI

Okay I did both of these myself, and obviously one was a little more difficult than the other.

Bear in mind my theme is red, white and silver.

The first one was a DIY kit from Michaels. I did a test run on these and it does look professional, but almost plain to me.

The second one I did from supplies from AC Moore with some vellum, ribbon and cardstock. Would cost me a little more to do these and a little bit more handy work with the bows and such, but I feel it's a little more original. Plus the cardstock I chose is 2 sided (included a pic of the back which is cute!)

Which one looks better?? Please be honest!! Although I am not ashamed to admit I am proud of my little handiwork! TIA

ETA: I should probably note that I am far from being a traditionalist!!

I love them both but I do like #1 because that is the same invitation I have but havn't done them yet. LOL! I have to work on the STD which is half that size and has the same design. I just don't know how to add the red in there.

I thought about making the font dark red on the plain silver invite, but not sure if that would look stupid? Maybe I should just try it and see what happens!!

# 2! I love the red!!! I used the first one for my e-party invites (actually FMIL did)

BTW I asked a good friend of mine, and she said she liked both but since she's a lot more traditional than I am (she actually hated my original gown choice which was white with red trim!) she likes the 1st one.

Remember, I'm the one who is actually not traditional, I wanted a red wedding dress!!

I tried the silver invite with the dark red font. And I have to admit it looks retarded.

I like two best but it looks like too much work. The first one is the one that's in all the stores. I feel like it's basic and simple. It's great if it is the kind of wedding you're having. However, seems like you are looking for something less standard.

I think # 2 is cute and very original!!! Goes with your theme much more

My colors are the same as you!

I voted for #2. It may be more work but it will be worth it in the end.

Thanks guys!! Actually the 2nd invite wasn't as much work as I thought it would be!! It's really just a matter of tying the bow that is a pain in the butt!!! But otherwise it's not much more work than the 1st one!!

Janna-

You should contact the woman making my invites. She is really reasonably priced and does good work. I met with her again this past Monday to flesh out more ideas and she is wonderful. Plus, included in her price is addressing all of the invites!
