I like #3 and the the only reason why it’s because it’s all centered. =)

I like #2 as well… it a great contrast and speaks of the formality with the backdrop of elegant lines of the plumes/feathers.

The colors are wonderfully subtle as well.

I also like #2, as it has the location address in a place that can be easily found, especially if your guests are using the actual invite to get themselves to said location.

i like 3. it doesn’t look as busy. very pretty!

I like #3 because of a well balance between art and writing. Can you add colors to the ostrich? That will truly bring out your design.

I like #2. It has just enough plumes. I like the font in your names..this is just me but I like the balance of the scripts in both your names. I don’t like the lower case “m”. The font in CAPS looks really good on the swirly plumes. It looks nice and tight. The only thing is I would suggest is having “Reception following” be center.

I like #2–I like the way that it’s all *not* centered, it makes the reception bit stand out. And I think it’s a good idea to have the actual info written in a block font so there’s no confusion. Although I also like the symmetry of having it all in one font. It’s hard for me to see, but make sure that the font you choose is readable–the names aren’t so important, people know your names, but you don’t want them to misread the time or the address or something! I’ve seen invitations where it was difficult to decipher important information. One other thing–I think it looks odd if your name doesn’t have a title but his does. On formal invitaitons, it’s like that because it usually has “Mr and Mrs Mom and Dad request your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Pearl Bee to Mr. Pearl…” You don’t get a title because your the “daughter of.” But since your the hostess here, you should have a Ms or a Miss. In my opinion. The funny thing is that I’ve recently started enjoying being called Miss Pencils instead of Ms. It sounds so spinsterish, especially at my age, so I did all my wedding stuff as Miss Pencils. Might as well use it while I can!

Anyway, they’re lovely invitations.

I love all the designs, and like Pencils, I also think that either you both have titles or you both omit titles.

#3 looks the best!

I like a font that contrasts with the swirly-ness of the plumes.

#3 for sure!
