Invitation Trouble...

So I just recieved the samples i ordered for my invitations. Im trying to make a final copy of my invitation so I can actually start making them!... one problem. I LOVE my invitations. Since I am Greek-It has always been important to me that I also wanted to include my invitation in Greek. I am making a pocketfold and right when you open it there are two papers overlapping on top a vellum paper and bottom just white on the vellum paper is the Greek wording and when you lift it, on the bottom is the invitaion written in english. 85-90% of our guests are Greek (even if they can or cannot read greek) I love how I have it set up and i showed a lady at michaels craft store and she said they looked amazing. But if you recieved my invitation would you get offended if the Greek was on top and the English was on the bottom? My mom thinks it should go the other way around, because ppl will think it looks stupid... opinions please?

    I think it's wonderful to include something that is obviously very important to you.  I would just gauge the crowd you're inviting and whether they're the type who complain about having to push English at the ATM or not.  If the former is true, I would think about switching them around.  Ignorance is everywhere unfortunately.Personally, I wouldn't be offended or think it's stupid if I received the invite exactly how you described.In the end, it is YOUR day and when the big day rolls around no one will talk about your invitation wording.  This is one of the lovely little stresses that seems to only bother the bride and the immediate family (i.e. parents, esp. moms).  I remember what a struggle invites can be!

    Personally, I agree with you and  think it will look better if you do the Greek on the vellum on top instead of the other way around. I am not Greek and I can't read the language, but I would not be offended at all or think its weird if I were to receive an invitation like that. I think that's a cool idea!!

    i would leave it as is. it sounds like you love the way it looks, i think it's neat you're including the greek wording, and even though it's on top, the paper (english) will probably be easier to read than the vellum (greek) I wouldn't be offended, and since such a high % of your guests are greek, I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

    I would leave it the way you have it. If you try to put the english on the vellum, it may be hard to read with the greek underneath. And thats the most important section. Traditionally vellum is used as an accent anyways. Sounds like you found a nice way to personalize your invitations!
