Wedding Invitations

[Shlup]

Alright, I'm going insane. I've designed invitations for my upcoming wedding and I can't decide which one I want to use.

This one I designed for BJ. If anyone has any ways to improve it I'd love to hear them.

Now I want to have another invite for me. I like BJ's, but I want a pretty flowery one, dangit! So we're going to have two.

Here are mine:

#7

Honestly, I'm mostly just torn between #3 and #7. I'd also like to hear ways to improve 'em so if you have any suggestions please let me know.

And Raistlin's opinion doesn't count.

[Tempest]

I like the print in 3 and 7 but I like the backgrounds in 1 and 2. Maybe see how those look together.

[Miriel]

#3!

NUMBER THREE!

Numero tres!

Although the far left branch hitting the text on the bottom there doesn't look to great. Maybe scoot it a little up and a little to the right? But yeah, I like #3.

[Shlup]

Yeah, that branch on #3 is bugging me too. But at that point in putting them together I was too lazy to fix it. :p

I'll move the branch up next time I fiddle with it.

[Miriel]

Did you design all these yourself or did you have some sort of wedding invitation magic design thingamabob?

[Shlup]

I designed them myself. :-*

I've been collecting cherry blossom art; good ones are hard to find. I finally gave in and drew one, which I used for #3. BJ's invitation graphics are from an invitation I ordered a sample of and then just scanned the graphic to use for my own design. ^_^

[Epiphany]

I like 3, 5, and 7. But mostly 3.
You DREW that? Quite skilled.

[Shlup]

Well I had something to look at. :)

[Rye]

1 and 3. Those are beautiful. :D

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

I like #3, #5, and #7 but I like #5 and #3 the most :)

[Shlup]

Alright, that settles it, I'm going with #3. I'll have to tweak it into several versions later.

[Shlup]

I tweaked #3 a bit... Which is better? I can't decide whether to go with a white background or an ivory background (not that you can really tell on the computer).

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

One on the left is easier to read.

[Shlup]

I was afraid of that. xP

[Miriel]

I like the colors better on the left one. The branch is still, you know, ARRGGHGH.

But I like the ivory tone for the background more.

[Shlup]

What's wrong with the branch this time? :o

[Miriel]

It's attacking the text. :o

[Shlup]

Haha, yeah, I noticed that after I saved it. I moved the branch away from the text, and then when I was fiddling around I almost moved the text right back up in the way. I'll fix it again.

[Rostum]

I like #1 and the tweaked version of #3.

[Desi]

I love #5 :)

[*~Endless Night~*]

i really like #3 and #5

[Shlup]

Lots of people here like #5. Weird.

I'm going with #3, though everyone's still welcome to comment. I'll make more versions of #3 sometime soon.

[-N-]

Top tweaked 3 is easier to read, but bottom tweaked 3 has a less intruding branch.

Can I crash your wedding :D?

[Shlup]

I'll crash your face.
