Invitation Question

[Shawna Bride]

My invitations will be ready to pick up in the next couple of days- yeah!
Here's my issue. We are addressing the envelopes ourselves and we got clear address labels and we'll print them off. Our printer has nicely agreed to print off the return address on the back of the envelope for free (how nice), but he's printing them in a mauve'ish color. Now, here's my question. Do I print off the guest's addresses in the same color, or can it be black? Is it wrong to have black on the front and mauve on the back? Is this a big deal?

I think that this is one of those things that brides worry about and no one else notices. If you can match the mause color on your labels, then great. If not, I don't see it causing the end of the world. Since they aren't on the same side I doubt anyone but you and possibly your mother will ever notice.

I agree with Lacey. Ive gotten tons of invitaions in the mail and didnt check them to see if the labels were the same color. If it were me though, it would probably bug the :censored: out of me thinking about it!

[Shawna Bride]

You're both probably right.... I think it only bothers me because my MIL is all nuts about it!!

[CindySue]

See, my FMiL would be the one telling me not to worry, no one will notice. Now my ex MiL would be calling EVERYBODY she knew, "Do you have any idea how bad Cindy has messed up those invitations?" I really wouldnt worry about it. If you printer will do mauve, see it you can match it pretty close, If not you could always get seals for the back with just a touch of black in them. It would balance and not cause you so much stress!

I agree with Lacey; people probably won't notice. And the people who do notice will probably be the people who go..."Oh my god, she didn't hand write them out!" (Like anybody has time to do that nowadays!) If you can match it, I bet that would look beautiful, if you can't, I'm sure it will look just as beautiful!

Would you believe I found a site concerning the correct placement of a stamp on a wedding invitation! Who has time to measure out exactly where the stamp should be placed on every invitation?!?!?! The detail poop that people pick at is silly! Of course, I'm printing labels for mine as well, so maybe I'm just anti-manners when it comes to invitations. :bbmrgreen:

I think they will be fine too. No one will notice and if they did and had a problem with it well big **** deal. There is alot more to worry about then that for this day.

As for hand writing the invites, my hand writing sucks big time. My FH will have to do that or he can do the printing of them. Either way I am handing this one over to him. Rather he wants it or not lol.

I have to agree with everyone. I don't think anyone will notice. But if you can get the labels to print in the mauve to match that would probably be best for your piece of mind ;) Either way will look great though!

Ditto what everyone else has said ... I don't see it has something to worry with. Make it black if you can't match the mauve. Now, I prob wouldn't do them orange or something (unless that is one of your colors) but even then, not many people will notice.

Remember - don't sweat the small stuff and it is all small stuff ;)

:goodluck:

I have to keep reminding myself not to sweat the small stuff.... I feel like I spend all my energy trying to make everyone happy that I've forgotten what makes ME happy. I'm an emotional basket case these days and I can't deal with it anymore. :censored:

Aww, it will be OK :hug: You are not the only one that feels this way, unfortunately sometimes weddings will do that to ya ... especially when friends and family start butting in ;)

:goodluck:

I know I've turned this thread into something other than invitations, but I just need to vent. I feel like I'm being pulled in so many different directions. My FH and I had a fight the other day because of this wedding. He was taking his mom's side, and I was taking my mom's side. AT the end of it we didn't even remember what it was that we were fighting about, but we both had hurt feelings. I just wish the Mom's would realize that it's not THEIR wedding, it's ours. Sure I'd love to hear your advice, but that's it... let us decide!
Okay, I'm done venting. ;)
