Invitations

These were some of our invitation inspirations. Something not to busy, in fall colors, that conveyed a fun but classy wedding. We really liked some designs by etsy seller appleberry ink/designer PSI, Invitations by Dawn, and the American Wedding. But eventually MyGatsby.com won out.

Possible invitation design, from Etsy seller DesignerPSI

Our actual invitations.

We went with the 5'x7' jacket design by MyGatsby. They print in thermography, assemble the invitations (for extra) and print the return address on both the envelope flap and the RSVP card envelope. We got the jacket in cappuccino. The invitation itself is on caramel cardstock with a bronze backing. The envelope liners are also bronze. The invitation ink is espresso. The envelopes are ivory. The RSVP card is in caramel with the "travel and accommodations" card in cappuccino. We also opted to do a belly band with a double layer seal for extra pizazz. The seals are in bronze and cappuccino with espresso ink. The belly band is double-faced satin midori ribbon in "antique copper" which is the exact shade of burnt orange/copper I was looking for.
