Our Engagement Party Invitation Design

I'm finally making headway on the invitation front. After we settled on a chocolate and pink theme we visited a few specialty paper shops today and have selected our materials :

Pink Card stock




Wrapped in translucent Marie Antoinette paper


Then ties with golden chocolate rat's tail satin ribbon


Then I have a chocolate envelope & a silver seal



We have decided to let the supplier print the invitations on the card stock and MOH and I will give the assembly a go ourselves!

As time is running out we wrote & proof read the cards today and they should be ready in 2 or 3 days!

How do you choose?

With so many gorgeous papers and invitation designs, I have no idea how am I going to choose just one for our invitations! Let alone the actual design & paper for them! I adore stationary & paper crafts so I knew it would be a tough decision, but this is going to take a while :) So far some of my favorites are :
 
 
By Papel Vivo
 
 
Studio AYT
 
 
Oh Happy Day
 
 
I have already lost track of how to find some of these again, so I really need to start adding them to my favorite websites list! - that will be the first project after our e-party.
 
We are going to getting working on our theme & colors this week as we need to have this finalised before we are able to make the final choice anyway. So until then I will keep searching for the perfect invitation!
