Our invitations took me forever to finalize. I fussed and fretted over every little detail from line thickness to wording. I changed the paper, the design and I think lost my mind in the process. But I am SO glad I did because I ended up with these beauties:

I love the huge lotus and the hanging garlands of flowers.
This is the inside of our pocket fold style invitation. The pocket holds our homecoming reception, mendhi, directions, RSVP and response envelope. Our main invitation is mounted on the other side.

These pictures really don’t do them justice. I assure everyone that the colors are very vibrant and the gold shimmery paper glows. I think Saima used the same gold paper on Mrs. Jasmine’s invitations.
I am so happy with the end results and think Saima did an amazing job creating invitations that are modern but with a classic South Asian feel. Now I’m excited to infuse some of the invitation elements (lotus flowers and our monogram) into the wedding. 
Your pickiness definitely paid off. These are gorgeous! Samia’s designs are absolutely wonderful!
They’re so beautiful! Isn’t Saima the best? She does such an amazing job of creating South Asian-inspired designs that are still very modern and innovative. Your guests are going to be wowed.
they are so pretty i wanna eat them!! i really should stop trying to eat EVERYTHING all the time…
So beautiful!
Invites are amazing! They are so beautiful and definitely have your touch, which I love. 
Those garlands are the perfect touch I think. They’re so drippy and luscious.
How cool. I love your cards. We are having a half brown wedding as well and just got our cards recently (i just took pics tonight actually!). I was really happy with ours until I saw yours….very nice work. I saw the ones that Mrs. Jasmine got and it looks like Saima did no less then perfection on yours as well. Really really nice.
You, in the US, have the most gorgeous wedding invitation ever seen. I spend hours on the web to look at those things and these one specifically are so beautiful, elegant, original, good done!
In Italy we have just the only W invitation seen and seen and seen over and over…
Thank you everyone!
@Mrs. Jasmine: Saima does always do a beautiful job I also loved how you infused your monogram elements in your wedding
@Miss Green Tea: I am always trying to eat things too, its okay
@Groomzilla: I just went to your site and I love your invites too! I especially love the bird - what a cool way to turn your culture and religion into art.
Damn! Those are gorgeous. Your invitations look like the photos I like to take. And I love the brown kraft element with all those deep colors. Yum!
