I've been working with the absolutely fabulous Lindsey from Lindsey Ryan Designs on custom invitations. We've been working on these for a while now and she's been SO patient with me and my indecisiveness. Well, everything has been working out perfectly until just now....we hit a snag. The pocketfolds that we planned to use for the invitations are now out of stock and will not be back in stock for another 2 1/2 weeks. Um, yeah. My original deadline for invitations is next Monday (which we totally would have made had it not been for this little hiccup). So...now I'm faced with making a quick decision so that we can keep everything on track....
The pocketfold we planned on using was going to be a matte black. The invitation and inserts are going to be a pearl white (shimmer) and the aqua bellyband and aqua rsvp envelope will be a shimmer as well. Well, now the only in stock pocketfolds are either a shimmer black or a linen black. I'm afraid that the shimmer will just be TOO much shimmer (i liked the matte black pocketfold that was to balance everything out) and I'm afraid that the linen black will be too textured and too much of a contrast and a different tone against the shimmer.
I NEED HELP!!! I have to give a decision to her by tomorrow morning so that we can order the materials and get this show on the road! So which would you pick??
THE LINEN:
HERE'S A CLOSER UP PIC OF THE LINEN (ALTHOUGH NOT THE SAME POCKETFOLD):
OR THE SHIMMER:
Opinions Please!!!! Professing the fact that I'm crazy and making WAY too big of a deal out of this counts too!!! ;) (it's just that i've spent so much time tweaking every little detail of this invite and now when it comes time to put it all together one of the biggest pieces has been altered...ugh.)
Also, there is, actually, an option 3..... We could wait until April 9th when the matte black comes back in stock and then have them ready to send out April 13th (this would be MAILING them about 6 weeks out from the wedding).... technically, people are suppose to be receiving them 6 weeks out from the wedding. What do you guys think?? Chance it and go this route or settle for one of the alternatives???

go with the linen....hands down! otherwise you will be sparkle-motion!
if you have to pick between the two options available now, go with the linen. if you trust that the desired style will actually be in stock in two and a half weeks, wait for it.
I say Linen!! Of course, once I set my mind to something, I usually have to have it, so I might would wait for the ones you originally wanted. I mean, we didn't get our invitations out til 4 weeks prior! Everything doesn't have to be by the book...all the important people already know when it is anyways!! :) haha jk but seriously, whatever makes you happy, Liz!
it's paper and cardboard, just go with it :) we have bigger issues in my opinion, like where are we going to live after this! just my opinion though...
