Default wedding invitation help part 3!!

Okay ladies. Thank you to everyone who has given tips over the last few weeks on my wedding invitations. I have played around a bit more with them. I decided that the polished stone background was making it hard to see the writing and just wasn't working with the invite (however beautiful it was). Someone said to try stamping something on the background and that is what I tried. I have the basic invite down I'm just trying to decide on which cover and ribbon to use. Comments welcome!!

Both are great, but I like the crinkle outside better.

If I had a choice I would pick the Gold one. It seems brighter and more eye catching. I bet they are more beautiful in person than what you can see here. HTH
Congratulations on your approaching wedding!

They are both gorgeous - you will definitely achieve the "WOW" factor with either one, but my choice would be the crinkled gold. It just has that extra something.

I like the gold crinkled the best, but I would use organdy ribbon (perhaps gold or ivory) rather than the grosgrain ribbon. I think the organdy just looks a little more elegant.

Both are beautiful. Most of the time, I prefer copper over gold. HOWEVER...in this case, I agree that the gold crinkle really adds an extra WOW! It just seems more elegant.

Best wishes for your big day!

I agree that organdy ribbon is more elegant or formal; however, of the two grossgrain ones, I like the light one the best. Beautiful work!

thanks ladies!!

I did have the gold organdy ribbon, the smaller one. I tried using it on the invitation but you could still see the holes i punched out so that's why i tried the grosgrain. i could always use the organdy on the outside for the holder, but don't you think it would look funny with two different ribbons?

My vote is for the crinkled gold with the vanilla? grosgrain. They are both stunning and elegent - they will be a big hit either way!
