More invitation experimentation

My newest invitations using InDesign, Photoshop and these swatches, which I now remember are from iDIY.  Beau prefers the one on the left, I prefer the one on right.  Thoughts?


I'm a little annoyed at how the color of the pattern is showing up.  In Photoshop and InDesign and when printed its much less bright - more of an olive.

I also printed them out on the back of some invitations left over from a shower I threw last summer to see the quality of our printer.  I think that the quality is really quite good.  


These pictures are also not showing the color quite right - its not that brown.

Shout out to Budget Savvy Bride where I got some of my font inspiration.  I ended up using:
  • Bickham Script Two
  • Imprint MT Shadow
  • Copperplate Gothic Light
  • Ornament Scrolls and Flourishes
Eventually, I want to make a Hebrew version, and possibly a German version to mail the overseas family, but finding nice (free) fonts has been an issue.  I also can't seem to figure out how to get my computer to type the Hebrew from right to left - its really annoying trying to type stuff in reverse!

Done! I like the one on the right. It has more energy. The left is more traditional.
