Help me choose the style of my invites!

Blonde Viki, 13 January, 2011 at 18:14 Posted on Planning 0 8

I've had some sample invites come and I wondered which you'd pick! Not looking at the colours at the moment (that's a whole different thread ?), just the layout/style...


1) This is the simplest one and I like that it's unfussy - it has the map and order of the day on the upper flap, with the invitation itself on the lowe flap - when it's shut, you just see our names along the edge. Downside is that I worry that I won't get all the information I need on to it and it will involve getting separate RSVP cards and including a whole lot of loose information in with the invite, which makes the simple style somewhat redundant!


2) These are the chequebook style ones I thought I'd like best - but on seeing the sample I'm not so sure anymore. There's a lot of blank space but that might just be how the sample is done and it could be gotten around by double sided printing. I don't know though, they just didn't grab me as much as I thought they would.


3) I think this is my favourite based on initial reaction. There's also the option to have a smaller tear-off flap at the end which is the RSVP card printed with a return address already! I like the bigger map and having two further sides to put all the information. But is is too big? Each one of these comes in a parchment wallet Smiley smile

OH thinks they are all 'nice' but 'a bit plain' though I haven't been able to get him to expand on what he means by this or how he'd make them better!! I tend to like simpler designs so we may not agree on the invites easily!

Which do you like best? Or do you think I should keep looking?

    I like the 1st and 3rd personally. I like the first for the part that shows just the names when it's shut and the 2nd for the fact you can have the tear off RSVP slip, I'm a big RSVP card fan lol. Love the little map doodles too.

    I really like the 3rd one, lots of info so you are less likely to get guests ringing up asking lots of questions (ha ha)

    I also like the 1st one.

    I love the first one... could you maybe have it so that when it's shut, it has the actual invitation bit on the outer flap (we invite you to celebrate our marriage on 1st July at 12pm at Blah Blah Hall etc etc), then when you open it, the map and order of day stay where they are but then where the invitation bit currently is, you could put further information?

    If you do it that way, then also people can put it on their fridge and the most relevant information is on the outside.

    If I were chosing for my own personal taste I would go for number 2, with a tear off RSVP on the backpage as personally I like minamilist and lots of space.

    Saying that I think all 3 are lovely choices.

    Hee hee split opinion! there's fans for each of them Smiley smile but that's good, because that means whichever I pick, someone will like them!

    I've also been trying to consider them from the point of view of whether they would be easy to make myself if I go down the DIY route - I think the chequebook style might be the most fiddly but the others are certainly do-able - I'd need a new printer to make them look this good though...

    I keep getting them out to look at them but it's a tough call.

    Thanks for all your comments!
