Stationery Samples - Now & Forever

Just to get a sense of what kinds of wedding invitations there are to choose from online, I went to a couple of popular companies: Now & Forever and Rexcraft.  Both sites let you order samples of invitations so you can evaluate them before you buy.  When I got back to San Francisco, I was delighted to find the Now & Forever samples waiting!  







#2:

A double-layered, ribbon-tied invite with two monogrammed initials which comes in many colors.  Liked it, but didn't love it.  The letters looked a bit clunky.





#1

A single layer, medium weight invite with sketched roses and embossed lettering, also available in many colors. We both really liked this one.















#4

A pocketed invite with an envelope body opening to reveal a single contrast-color sheet inside.  Liked the style, but thought it was a bit standard.














#3

A double-layered invite with an opaque outer envelope and shimmery insert.  Liked the papers used, but thought it could have used some ribbon or other detail on the front.
