Invitation Clash

GLOBIAN

Him and I are both very fun and little kids at heart and we want everyone to have fun at our wedding, however I always wanted a real classy and elegant wedding and we got to talking about the invitations. He saw these really cool Mario Bros. invitations and his heart was set on them. I actually loved it! thought it was awesome BUT I fear its going to clash with the look of the wedding. Any ideas on how to incorporate what he wants with what I want? 

here is the link to the invite that he saw, incase you have time or want to take a look to give me your suggestions

In my opinion, you can do pretty much anything and make it classy, so long as you don't overdo it.  You can have little hints that point towards what you enjoy as a couple, without it looking like a child's birthday party. I think the invitations lean a little bit more towards the latter, but if everyone knows that he's a gamer, they'll probably get a kick out of it. 

As far as your reception goes, you could have a simple white square  3 tier cake, iced with white fondant and have a few of those man eating flowers that would come out of pipes? Not sure what theyre called. But you know, have a cluster on the edges, and a mario and bride cake topper. Or you could have your classy cake, and he could have a mario groom's cake. 

With decor, you can just decorate in grays, red, and black...Like a nintendo cartridge, and it would still be classy, and not clash. You might consider setting up a couple of televisions off to the side of the reception, with old school nintendo games, and people could play them during cocktail hour. 

I think the key is just having the subtle cues, rather than having a huge "theme". Its easy for themes to become tacky.

Can you use those for your STDs?

You could theme a groom's cake around the invitations! 

I would definitely not be expecting an elegant wedding if I received that invitation, so just for the sake of not confusing your guests, I would not use those invitations.

Save the date or groom's cake would be good, I think

I saw this awesome Super Mario Bros cake from a local knottie several years ago and it would go perfectly with your wedding invites!

@seesawgirl this is great advice thank you so much I have to talk to him again because a few day's ago he randomly told me the mario thing was getting out of his system, since he made a mock mario wedding favor and that he is now leaning more towards traditional invites. @lovethebeach16 and cebrady89  I think you guys are right, maybe incorporating it in a more subtle way would be best. thank you for you advice God bless you and @trixie549 the cakes is amazing thanks. God bless you guys this is helpful
