My invitations....my loves...

The front of the gatefold. This will have a ribbon and a square tag on the front that says:
"Jaime & Patrick"
That picture really doesn't do the beautiful bronze stardream paper any justice.


The ribbon is double faced satin ribbon in Merlot.

Not a DIY project

I got to visit my venue yesterday with it put together for a wedding. I liked the look, although it will definitely be a bit crowded. One thing I'm glad we've decided on is that I'm glad we're doing table runners. Hopefully it will add some color and not have these tables be so white.

One of the servers that was there setting up also suggested not having coffee service on the table. She said it just clutters up the table and suggested instead having a coffee station off to the side. Good suggestion - those coffee carafes are ugly!





The new wall colors! I am so glad they re-did the room!

RSVP options

Help me with my RSVP cards! I can't decide on a few *minor* details!

My issues:
Issue 1: favor or favour? My invitations say honour...do I stick with the french spelling?

Issue 2: accept/accepts - Jaime accepts your invitation, but Jaime and Patrick accept it. The singular/plural thing is bugging me.

Issue 3: being sure of who is attending (names and numbers).

Below are some examples of what I've come up with and a few different ways of doing it. I'm curious to see what you all think.


RSVP #1 - standard, english spelling of favor

RSVP #2 - English spelling of favor, gramatically correct acceptance


RSVP #3 - Same as #2 with a number attending line added
RSVP #4 - French spelling of favour to match the honour on the invitation

RSVP #5 - Same as #4 but with the (s) added

RSVP #6 - same as #5 but with the number attending added

And a few different styles:

RSVP #7 - listing out names, English favor

RSVP #8 - listing out names, number attending line, English favor

(Obviously these can be made with the French favour as well).
