So we're finally at the point where we're seriously looking at invitations! Yay! But also, not yay! haha. I am so unbelievably picky about these stupid things -- I have LITERALLY looked at thousands of invitations and decided I only like four of them. Nuts, I know.
So I showed them to FI and he's very "pick the one you like" about it, which drives me nuts because I can't tell which is best. I'm hoping maybe you ladies can help me sort of decide?? Maybe??
Quick background: We're having a black tie wedding, but it's in Napa Valley so it's a very "easy" type luxury -- it's not in a grand ballroom with 500 people or anything, but rather a very intimate and romantic setting with emphasis on the little details. The primary colors are blush pinks, ivory, and gold and/or silver.
Option 1:
This one is *my* favorite one, but I can't decide if it's too informal.
Option 2:
This one is a classic formal invitation. The thickness on this thing is HUGE -- it's basically a coaster! While I know it's appropriate for black tie, I don't think it has very much personality to it...
Option 3:
This one is formally appropriate AND has personality, but I don't know how to send it (lol) and my dad thinks it looks like we're purposefully trying to "one-up" someone or that we're trying too hard...
Option 4:
These could be perfect (I'd change the swirlies to a pink foil color) but they're TWICE as expensive as the most expensive previous option. I just don't know if I can justify that kind of cost...
So, what are your thoughts? Which do you like and would expect of a formal wedding in Napa? (I can't just order a sample of each because they're ridiculously expensive to order as just one set, so I have to narrow it down to like... two. lol.)
