Wedding Invitations & Paper

Inner Envelope Ink Color

I'm hand writing our inner envelopes.  I was going to use a plain black ballpoint, but it looks kind of blah.  A gel pen is slightly better.  Our invitation is purple, only semi-formal (I made it using clip art, and it's a picture of the moon reflecting on the ocean), and the paper it's on and the envelopes are iridescent.  Would it be tacky to write the inner envelopes in a purple gel pen to give it a little pizazz?  The outer envelopes will be printed in black ink using a calligraphy font on a printer (jobbed out) if that helps.

  • The inner envelopes are for your own personal touches so I think it would be fine to do the inner in the purple.
  • I did my inner envelopes with a Hot Pink Sharpie! I say GO FOR THE PURPLE!!!
