Which Invite? POLL!

drdifabio

We are down to three different invite panel options and I would love your help in choosing one of them!

All of them are going to be printed on ivory cardstock with same brown text and the embossed gold stamps in the corners - but the flow of the text and the order of the stamps is what we are debating on.

Let me know what you think!

Option#1


Option#2


Option#3

I really like the way the 3rd option looks. The larger stamp on top evens out the larger text on bottom.

I like #2 the best, which #3 being 2nd place.  Number 1 has a bit too much white space for my liking, and I prefer the smaller stamp on the top since I think the larger stamp "grounds" the invite better. 

They all look great though!

I like #2 and #3...definitely like the writing to be spread out

Number 1. I'm a fan of white space and text that is consistently aligned.

I love the embossing! Are you doing stamp embossing as a DIY project, or will they come already done like that?

I also voted one for the same reason as Moria; I like #2 more than #3 because the larger stamp I think looks better on the bottom.

Love 3!  I like the text off centered like that.

<div>My thoughts exactly. Even thought technically having the larger swirls on the bottom "crowds" the text, I think it looks better there than on the top.</div><div>
</div><div>It's funny because right now the polls are split at 8, 8 and 9 ... super close!</div>

Love the white space on 1

I vote #3...not sure why I prefer it over #2, I was just more drawn to that one

Thanks ladies! And yes my invites are a DIY project so I am stamping, embossing, folding, cutting, taping, etc myself - it is a ton of work but I am also saving a good deal of money and am able to get exactly what I want.

In this order: 2, 3, 1. I prefer the larger stamp on the bottom. I think since we read left-right, top-bottom, it seems a bit less distracting there than on the top. To me, it seems to look more balanced there. 

I Want Cake

My vote is for #1.  I like the alignment of the text and the white space doesn't bother me at all.

If I may ask, how much does doing your own stamping/embossing and assembly save you?  I'm pretty crafty and have over a year until the wedding, so I was planning on doing the same.

drdifabio

I Want Cake - well the exact savings really depending on what you are making. For me I didnt even price out embossing from a professional because I knew it was way more than I wanted to pay, but to give you an idea of pocket fold - a few we looked at were around $3 an invite where we are looking at under $1 per invite for pocketfolds including all the inserts.
