Need some honest opinions

I have been playing around with invites and this is what I came up with.  I also did it with a white background.  What do you think?

I think it looks great!  What color paper are you printing it on?  Personally I would leave the background white... I really like how you did the palm trees with the green and aqua! What color are you doing the sleeves?

I am going to print on white paper I think.  I am not sure what color to do the sleeves in.  I am thinking that I am going to have to take them to a paper store or something to find the right color.  Here it is with a white background.

They look awesome!!! I love them! Great job!!!  I would do the sleeve in the green to contrast the aqua band on the bottom!  Can't wait to see it all put together!

I would definitely go with the white...it will have a "crisper" look to it when you print it out. but I guess it's a matter of preference since I'm not big into printed colored backgrounds. If you wanted the sand color background I would print it on that color paper instead of printing the background in that color.  Does that make sense?  but again it's just a matter of preference.  I think the design looks really nice!

I honestly think it depends on the feel you want to achieve. I really like both but the cream has a more vintage look while like Jen said the white has a crisp look (more clean and modern) in my opinion. Both look beautiful just depends on which theme better fits the rest of your wedding ideas. Also as Jen said, I would print on the color paper you choose to go with vs printing a color background ( if you do go with the creamy sand, use that color paper) or not only would you use a whole lot of ink but you may also run the risk of the color not being 100% even. Either way i think i would go with an aqua sleeve, but If you decide on the vintage creamy look I would use a cream colored ribbon to soften it for a closure... If you choose the white background, then I I would have a lime green ribbon to add some modern fun to the sleeve! I hth and I didn't confuse you further. Either way it's going to look beautiful Cathy!

What Jules said...

I would do cream/on cream paper (ink is expensive!), an aqua sleeve, and the cream ribbon. Have you checked out cardsandpockets? I think they have sleeves or something that can easily be a sleeve and you can order paper samples from them. I did our invites through them and they were super cheap.

They look really great Cathy!  You did an awesome job on the design!  They are so fun!

I think that I agree with Jen on the white paper - it looks crisper and the colors pop off the paper more!  The sleeve would look great in either color but I am leaning towards green to contrast the aqua a bit more!

Thanks ladies!!  Personally, I like the white and FI likes the sand color.  I think that if I did the sand, I would try to find paper that color somewhere.  I like the idea for the aqua sleeve and green accents.  I was also thinking about trying to find some shimmer paper.  That might be neat too.  Although it might be harder to match if we go with the sand color....

Knowing what I know of your wedding thus far and the details you've shared, I think the more modern, crisp look of the white fits better personally.

I think they look great! I would print them on the cream paper, too. They seem to pop more on that color.

I did the champagne color for mine that Jen suggested from paperandmore and I love it. My colors are coral and gold though so I felt it went better with my color scheme. Not sure if you have an Office Depot near you, but I know they actually had the same paper I got, so you could go in there and do two test prints to see what shows up better. I personally think the white, or even a pearlescent white would look better because the aqua and green would pop so much more. The invitations look soooo great!!
