Help! Invites are too dark. Need ideas.

medchic10

So, I am in mild crisis mode.  I just received my invitations in the mail and while I love the design, they just don't look like wedding invitations to me.  After looking at them for a day or two, It  think it's because they are too dark and because I went with a more casual style to match the tone of our wedding. At any rate, I'm trying to think of ways to fix it.  Maybe a colorful belly band to lightening it up?  Any ideas?

Thanks!

P.S. Please remember that I already have a box of these and help me stay sane by keeping it to yourself if you hate them.  

Pictures of the invites/enclosure to follow.

I strongly suggest you remove the pictures of the invites, black out your personal info, then repost the invite pictures again!

Can you tell I don't post often on these boards?  Thanks for the GREAT suggestion, Joan.

No problem!  Just don't want the crazies to see it.  

To your original question, you have the invites already and you're not going to get new ones.  I'd just go with it.  Most people will probably look at it and say, "cute" then move on to focus on the date, place etc.  I wouldn't get too wrapped up in colors.
