I love them all, classic and modern all at the same time. For my tough choice, I chose " Dotted." I love the contrast of the text box with the pretty edges against the soft dotted flowers. Both colors I've seen them in, green and brown, are my two main wedding colors, so that helps. I love them all! If I had any of them I would be really happy. You do very nice work! Melissa and Brenda were right ; ) !

Retro. Hearts. Retro. Hearts. I was flirting with the idea of choosing Retro since it reflects my personal style.But as a couple, happily ever after begins with Hearts - this design portrays the simple love between James and I.

I love the RETRO design. This would introduce my Spanish Revival, 1920's themed wedding beautifully. I would select Terra Cotta/Coral and Cerulean/Cornflower Blue for the colors to evoke a feeling of Southern California & the floral designs painted on Mexican tiles. Letterpress font with linen paper would set the tone for my traditional yet casual wedding day!

Yay! It was so nice talking with you yesterday. And, what a wonderful surprise to see your give-away here. We love the Vino design for its casual elegance, which is the balance we are striking with our wedding--and well, our life together. We've looked at many wedding invitation designs and are so drawn to your work. Thanks, Cathy! -Sara

We <3 the "Dotted" design. It has a vintage feel that will go nicely with our vintage country wedding. Thank you so much for having this contest!

I love the "Two Hearts" design - I think it'd be perfect for my outside, garden wedding! Wow - what a great contest! Thank you!

I absolutely love them all...so sweet and so beautiful at the same time. My favorite though is the "Two Hearts" invitation. I love the simplicity of it and the charming scroll detail. My fiance and I are not the most extravagant couple and I think this encompasses our style completely! I have heard such wonderful things about Love at First Invite...and after checking out your site and products, I have to agree!

They are all so fun! It's hard to choose. Kathy, I have to say you did a wonderful job on my cousin Yvette's wedding. It takes me back to see her menus (tear). I really like the "Dotted" and agree, it has that vintage look that we are going for too.

I have looked everywhere for the "PERFECT" wedding invitation! Before visiting your website nothing came close. I fell in love with the Vino style invitation! It is EXACTLY what I envisioned for our invitations. I have been looking for something that is unique yet simple and the Vino inviations absolutely fit that description. I feel that this invitation would compliment us as a couple amazingly. Our wedding is in the fall and the Vino style would be so beautiful! Also, the colors in our wedding are deep red and brown. The invitations would go GREAT with the color scheme! :)

They are all beautiful! There's a touch of elegance, simplicity and charm with all but I would choose "Classic." It was hard to decided between the "Classic" and "Vino" these two were my top two faves. Thank you for a great contest. Good Luck Everyone! =D

I love the Damask invitation. I think it would look lovely in my colors of brown and sage!
Posted by: Rachael | 07/03/2009 at 06:34 AM
Damask...all the way! We are having a few damask touches throughout the wedding and having the invites would be our guests first look into what the feel of our wedding will be!

The "Birdwatcher" design would be absolutely perfect for our April picnic wedding! My last name is Finch and I love bird designs. Even our ring bearer will be using a bird's nest to carry our rings. :)
I love the outdoorsy, natural, and sweet design - it's a great expression of our personalities.
Posted by: Juliana Finch | 07/03/2009 at 07:00 AM
I have to choose just one? Okay then. I love them all, but I think Bird Watcher goes the best with the style of our wedding. We are getting married in the mountains and are going for a rustic, casual, yet romantic feel. We're also having a small wedding, so 100 invites might be more than what we actually need!
Posted by: Erica | 07/03/2009 at 07:07 AM
i love the two hearts design. i think it would be perfect for our casual, whimsical wedding!
Posted by: Kate | 07/03/2009 at 07:55 AM
I ADORE "Dotted"! The framing of the names and dotted floral motif is so different but not overly loud or obnoxious. Perfectly balanced and lovely typeface choices as well! Just gorgeous work!
But I think "Classic" or "Park" would be more appropriate for our marriage celebration this September! They are so cheerful and fresh! They could be a little on the less formal side but are still completely beautiful. I love the big bloom on "Classic", it would match the big blossom I plan on wearing at the celebration!

I love the damask design which is something I'm trying to incorporate into our wedding next May and these would be perfect. Our colors will be black, white and raspberry.
Posted by: Shannon | 07/03/2009 at 08:09 AM
BIRD WATCHERS! The "theme" (if you could call it that) of our wedding is lovebirds and this invite would be stupendous as a "welcome to our wedding" design! We are getting married in a small clearing in the middle of the northern Arizona forest next May and have decided to really embrace the details of the forest into our wedding celebration. We are currently collecting lil birdie figurines from thrift stores to add to the simple table top decor of our reception site (an old stone ski lodge at the top of the mountain).
It's meant to be...me finding your invite give-a-way!
Posted by: A.Mountain.Bride | 07/03/2009 at 09:20 AM
Park, hands down. I like the Two Hearts, but the Park is very us. We're getting married in the Spring at a botanical garden and having the reception at a park across the lake. The leaves on the Park invites have the perfect hanging-down, sun-streaming-through, blue-sky-gazing shape to them.
I think I would choose sage (though I love the darker shadow look of the brown) for the leaves and script and maybe cranberry or dusty blue for the flowers. I love bright eyebleedingly orange flowers but I'm not sure how it would look on the invite. A more subdued shade may be more appropriate... :)

It's nearly impossible to pick just one that I love, but if I have to... it's definitely the Damask design. My fiance and I love invitations with damask patterns, and this one is perfect - we've struggled to find one that isn't so elaborate that it dominates the invitation. This one draws your eye straight to the wording and is simply lovely.
Posted by: Stefanie | 07/03/2009 at 09:26 AM
I'd have to choose the retro invite. Our wedding will have just a bit of a retro feel. I also love them because at first glance, the flower looked like a hibiscus (a common flower on the island where I'm currently living) but then I saw the other daffodils (the flowers growing in my parent's yard at home in Minnesota, where we will be married). That made my decision. :)
Posted by: Bri | 07/03/2009 at 09:56 AM
I love, love, LOVE the Dotted design. It looks absolutely lovely in green, which would go perfectly with our small, intimate wedding at a small chapel on the lake and our reception at a local restaurant that supports local farmers. It has a bit of a vintage vibe to it, which I love, and goes perfectly with what we are trying to incorporate into our wedding.
Thanks for this opportunity!
Posted by: Lindsey | 07/03/2009 at 10:34 AM
Oh my goodness... every invitation in the collection is GORGEOUS!!! I love Dotted because it is fancy without being pretentious. It suggests a homemade feel that goes along with the handsewn gifts we are giving. Two Hearts is great too, though, with the happy swirls and sweetheart couple, which remind me of our attempt to marry South Indian flair with a relaxed Michigan summer. Both have great layouts and font choices... Bravo!
Posted by: Sharon | 07/03/2009 at 11:37 AM
That was easy. I think you designed the "Bird Watcher" for us. Our theme is vintage birds. From the start we've been called love birds, and in fact it will be our (and my new) last name. In addition to the birds, I love the style of the flowers, the fonts and even the address in the example is our hometown, San Diego! Thank you for the opportunity. I think it would look gorgeous in linen, with letterpress.
