Last time I threatened to send Post-itvintations. But despite being a delinquent bride-to-be, I was saved by Derek, my friend and the graphic designer at 4fifteen who is so on top of his game he quickly came back with options based on the inspiration I sent him last time, including my fave Printable Press’ Metropolitan:

Metropolitan

There were certain elements we wanted, including:

1. Blend of contemporary but formal
2. Different sized text
3. Mix of fonts - cursive and block
4. A simple design with mostly text (e.g. no flowers, etc.)
5. Color palette of gray and green (we decided yellow was too difficult to use for what we want)

He came up with these awesome designs one more traditional and one more contemporary:
Traditional Formal, in lime green and navy.

Contemporary Formal, in lime green and gray.

They were two great designs, so how would we choose! I’m really happy to be in this “predicament”. At the same time, it is a reminder that this is only kick-starting the whole invitation suite including the RSVP and Reception cards, envelope liners, any other details. etc… which to be honest, is kind of giving me stomach butterflies how soon it all has to come together.

Have you been procrastinating on your invitations? What lessons did you learn from designing your invites? And which design would you choose?
