invites and colors
Do any colors on invitations usually represent the wedding colors? I am most likely going to get the DIY kits from Michael's and since my mom is contributing to the wedding I am of course asking her if she would ilke to be part of picking out invites. Michael's has limited designs and colors and I am already imagining her going off on how the invites have to match the wedding colors.......and for what it's worth I am not even sure if I even have wedding colors. My BM's are wearing blue dresses from david's bridal (don't remember exact shade) but I haven't picked any sort of second or third shade for other things and I didn't really plan to......

Re: invites and colors
[QUOTE]I signed up to receive the sample bridal kit so hopefully I'll start getting coupons. I also found another website, 123print.com and when ordering invites you get free envelopes! The pattern I liked would cost between $108-$132 depending on paper stock for 200 invitations. If anyone has any knowledge or experience with 123print.com I'd love to hear about it.

<div>That's who I used for my invites. Worked perfectly for me. They also allow you samples for invites, so feel free to order one yourself and take a look at it (and they tend to have 15 - 20% off coupons floating around so look for those online) They won't be anything too fancy, but they look very nice and are good quality in my personal opinion (and color doesn't cost more from what I remember...)</div>
[QUOTE]I had the same problems finding blue invitations! Just wanted to chime in and tell you I found a great kit at target. It's a pretty light blue color and I believe it's by gartner studios. Hope that helps somewhat!

I just ordered 3 free samples of different patters in the different paper stocks. They also already emailed me a 20% coupon. I am thinking this website is definitely going to be the best deal. Do you know if you got coupons frequently? I have a while before invites need to go out, so I am thinking I can order stuff in batches (1 round of invitations, 1 round of response cards, 1 round of inserts for directions/hotel info) and hopefully apply a coupon each time.
[QUOTE]If this is about saving money, have you checked out Vistaprint.com? They are always having sales, and they are really cheap. They do all the work for you except for addressing and mailing. Lots of color choices, too! <strong>In the old days (my day) wedding invitations were either white or ecru. No colors at all! Now that colors are permissable, there is no rule that they have to match anything!</strong>

<div>This is what I think too. We just bought ours- our colors are blush pink, gray, and ivory. The invites are ivory (ecru) and gray, no pink at all. The wedding is more formal, so the invites are more formal- I always assumed that was the only requirement for an invite.</div>

<div>Every time you get something from them, they send a "thank you for your order, you can use this on your next one" coupon in my experience, so keep track of those and you should be able to keep using them.</div>
