NABUMBAH is on a distinguished road

Default Please vote on my invites!

So I had these grandiose visions of sewing paper & fabric, etc. I even did a mock-up. Turned out beautifully.

But alas, I just have run out of time. I've been so busy with work and travel that it's just not gonna get done so I am on to plan B - having invites made.

I am currently working with Melina from www.papelvivo.com - she has come up with some options for me so I thought I would share them and get some opinions from you all.

Option 1:

based upon this design
http://www.papelvivo.com/a185.html

Option 2:

Click the image to open in full size.

based upon this design:

http://www.papelvivo.com/a186.html

Option 3:
Click the image to open in full size.

based upon this design:

http://www.papelvivo.com/a165.html

and option 4

Click the image to open in full size.

the palm leaf would be embossed on this one, to make it most similar to the fleur-de-lis on this design:

http://www.papelvivo.com/a178.html

we can play around with fonts, and colors all that we want. And obviously the info isn't correct on these mock-ups.

So help me out here, I'm runnin' out of time! Which one do you like the best?

I voted for #4 because I love the embossed palm frond. Those are so pretty, hard choice!

What are your colors again? I agree that I think 1 is too busy. I like 2 & 3, but I think it would look really nice if the colors tied into your color theme. IMO

Tasha - first off, we are sharing a very similar color scheme, so I'm excited to see your ideas! I voted for #1, but I like both 1 & 2. I think MM may be on to something w/#1 being a little busy, but I really like the overall theme of it.

I need to get going on this item too...you're ahead of me dammit! I just entered the phase where I am looking to mocking my own thing up.

Sorry, I was editing down the GINORMOUS phots... they should be fixed now!


I agree that #1 is a little busy. That's probably my least favorite, although when I sent them to Chris he said he liked it the best because they spelled his name right - HAHA.

My colors are shades of blue and green, a la this photo (I'm going to recreate this for my wedding)

and thanks Sarah for the compliment on the frond. I also used it on my STD... I figure it'll kind of tie this stuff together.

I know! When the date gets closer, we should totally try to share some of our stuff.

Gosh they are ALL beautiful but I find myself leaning toward 4 and 2 the most. Obviously, you can't go wrong with any of them :)
