I'm putting the finishing touches on these puppies by the end of the day so any suggestions would be uber helpful.  They are going in a pocketfold.

    They look good to me- but you should consider removing your last names and wedding location info if you're putting them up here.  So healy doesn't come and crash your wedding.

    I like the concept; it's very modern and clean. But the skyline "line" is a little flat and doesn't stand out to me as a skyline, even as recongnizable as it is. Can you pull a shade of your blue text into the sky, so that it's a light shade of blue and the rest of the invite is white? That may make it pop just a bit more. Also, what does it look like when the majority of the text is grey and your names are blue? I like when the couple's names stand out.

    These are all JMO, of course.

    Definitely remove your last names.  You never know which psychos are lurking.

    Also, I've heard this is debatable, but from a mathematical standpoint "Two thousand and ten" is incorrect.  The word "and" denotes a period, so that would be written 2000.10.  Mathematically speaking the number 2010 would be written out "two thousand ten."

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

    I took down the main invite so I dont get crashers.  Thanks - I'll totally think about changing up the colors.  ORGINALLY our names were in pink.  Stupid FI doesn't like pink and has the auduacity to think that he can have an opinion - wha??? 

    Thanks for your help!

    I like the colors, but Bec definitely knows more about this stuff than I do :)

    Oh and btw - the skyline is going to be engraved (or something) within the paper.

    OMG if you could emboss everything below the skyline and therma-print all your text, that would be so awesome. If you got a deep enough emboss, you wouldn't need to print a skyline at all. It would seriously rock.

    I love the blue and grey. Don't pink that up!

    EDIT: I really don't think someone should get this excited over invites. Esp. when they are not even hers. :)

    I don't get it...

                will   _____ attend

    is that a question? will I attend? will you attend? will not attend? will maybe attend?

    It could be seen as a bit unclear - this isn't pretty or right, but more to the point:

           Name:  ______________
           ___ will attend
                           If so, total number in party: _____
           ___ will not attend

    I agree with Bec- keep the colors as is. I love the blue and grey. I thought the skyline was a heart monitor line when I first saw it, though.

    [QUOTE]I like the will________ attend.  I like all of it.  I think it's really cool. I'm also giggling at how excited Bec is getting over this. I really wish we could have afforded thermography for our invites.  Sigh.

    The one and only reason we can afford is that my sister's boyfriend's father owns a printing store in my hometown.  My dad does all of his business with him so he's doing it at cost.  Thanks for the props!

    HA!!!  That is rather funny then.  I was certified in EKG...so that was my first thought.  Overall...agree with PP on those few things to tweak.

    I really, really like these! Not just because I live in Chicago, either :) I love the idea of textured printing. They're so clean and simple, but they're totally eye-catching. Well done!
