Which ribbon on my invite?

[mintve]

The pocket of our invites is pewter. Our colors are pink and pewter with ivory and some silver accents.

Which ribbon looks best for the outside of the invite??

[Mrs_Darcy]

They both look great, but I slightly prefer the one on the right with the trim. Beautiful!

Ditto. It looks more professional to me.

Maybe I''m alone in this, but I prefer the one on the left. I think the width of the ribbon is more appropriate for the size of the card. It would be nice with the edging of the ribbon on the right though.

 

[Definitely. Maybe]

I am with you musincy. For some reason I prefer the 1st one. It is probably the size like she said.

 

[Dreamgirl]

The one on the right is more visible and the size looks proportionate.

 

[Aloros]

I''d say it depends on the feel of your wedding. I think they both look nice, but give off different impressions.

The one on the left is softer, more whimsical. The one on the right is cleaner-cut and more elegant.

 

[elrohwen]

The one on the right, definitely!

 

[lliang_chi]

I agree with alaros, the right looks a touch more formal.

 

[vanessa_b]

I like the one on the left.

 

[Elmorton]

Left - I think the one on the right looks better in the photo because it''s a crisper contrast, but I think the left will look much better in person because of the size/sheer quality.

 

[Morgie44]

I am with Elmorton I like the width of the left one but prefer the contrast of the right. If it were up to me I would do a satin ribbon in the same width as the one on the left, because I love the look of wider ribbon when it is tied, but also the bolder contrast of the colors against each other.


ETA I love your color scheme!

 

[EricaR]

I wish there was a way to combine them. I love the width of the ribbon on the left but the edging of the ribbon on the right. If you could find one with edging that was a bit wider I think it would be perfect!

Ditto EricaR. They are both nice though.

Yep, ribbon on the right. At first I thought both looked great, but then I covered one at a time with my hand, then the one on the right was the easy choice.

I take what I said earlier back. After doing it "musey style" I concur with those who said the ribbon the right.

 

[DMBsGirl]

I would prefer the second ribbon in the width of the first...sorry for being difficult! lol

 

[redfaerythinker]

I think looking at the whole package, that the one on the left looks better. I think that the sheerness lets the ribbon melt into the background and enhance the entire thing, rather than being it''s own entity. Did that make sense at all?

 

[Deelight]

The one on the right ,it just looks much more finished.

 

[mintve]

Thanks for all your replies. I took the invite to the post office and b/c of the "bow bump" the postage is more. So, I can either pay more for postage, or use a label like this one. What do you think?

 

[Clairitek]

How much more is the postage? Are you really "tied" (hehe, no pun intended!) to the ribbons? Whats the final cost difference per invite for ribbon + extra postage vs the seal and how many invites are you sending out?

I''d say if the budget is tight I would just go for the seal. They will still be really lovely invites!

 

[AmberGretchen]

I prefer the one on the right, although both look nice.

 

[glueck]

I vote to pay the postage. I really love the bow! (The right only slightly more than the left!)

 

[missjaxon]

I personally would pay the extra postage and I really like both ribbons, but I would have to say I like the ribbon on the right better as well, for some reason the ribbon on the left reminds me of a gift basket

I am not sure why though. haha

 

[honey22]

I prefer the one of the left, however they both look beautiful!
