Invitation help?
Hello wonderful LJ community! I need some back up here. I hate asking "Can I?" since I believe my wedding can be whatever I want, but a little re-assurance or flat out honest opinions are definitely needed. I have been dreading searching for invitations for months now, but with my wedding 10 months away I thought it was time to get started. I am getting married 1/16/10 and my winter wedding has a navy blue and silver color scheme. So, I had been searching for blue and silver/winter themed invites with little luck. On a trip to Michael's today searching for centerpiece ideas, I randomly walked down the clearance isle and found the invitations I fell in love with two months before I was even engaged on clearance for $10. As in, $30 bought me 90 invites, which gives us way more than enough and works out to $0.33 per invite. So, what's the problem? They are orange with brown accents. I think the brown will tie into the wedding (lots of bare branches), but orange is much harder to connect, though the BM bouquets will probably have orange in them. But, orange is my FAVORITE color and I just love these invites. Here's a link to a very small photo of them...it's the best i could get: www.gartnerstudios.com/skuDetail.cfm
So what do you all think? Do the invitations have to match the wedding colors or can they just be really pretty and something I love? I have 60 days to change my mind.
