Invitations Making me Crazy! Looking for Suggestions!

My invitations are making me crazy! Our wedding is in just over 2 months and half the invitees are going to need to travel so I need to get them out now buuuuuutttttt I can't decide on a color to print the font in!  I'm seriously sitting here looking at 8 different color options...Our colors are blue and green with silver accents but the invite kits my mom picked out are pearl/off white which doesn't look good in some lights with the colors that I print but then I look at them again and the one I didn't like I like more than the others.  I can't change the invites becaue my mom got these over a year ago at a huge discount, we're talking $5 for a 50 count kit...

How do you suggest I decide?  I've asked my family what they think and not one of them likes the same one if they voice an opinion at all.  I need to decide soon so I can get them out!

I've been doing this for 3 days now...I need help

Does your FI have any opinion in the matter?  Maybe ask him for help? Is there any other color besides the font?  If there is would it be better to just use a black font then or navy blue?  I don't know if that's much help though!! I'm so sorry to hear you're stressing :-( Invites are making me crazy too!

I like the font it's just the color.  Do I do a light blue or a dark blue?  A light green or a dark green?  Do I do a combination and if so what combination?  Getting to be too much.  Not sure if I'll ever be 100% happy with what I get but I'm really trying!

I hope your invites go a little better!

Oh and my FI is in MI right now while I'm in PA and I've sent him the color choices and he keeps saying whatever I want...No help there either.

You are overthinking this. I would do a dark colored ink, it makes the invitations so much more readable. I think dark blue will look better than dark green. Keep in mind that unless you are using a professional printing service and pantone color codes, the color it appears on your computer screen will be VERY different from the printed color. 

Also, my invitations in no way match my colors or decor. They were just the style that my FI designed. So it's totally fine if they don't match.
