You really don't need the envelope liners, they are just an added extra,
but do
look nice. But I would not go with another color, I would go without the
liners.

I know which one you mean, I liked this one too, and almost chose it, until...
I found the one we Both liked. It's from Heart Thoughts, it's Recycled paper
with the look of flowers pressed into it but it's watercolor.
The wording is printed on a seperate velum paper and attached
with what ever color of ribbon you choose. The only problem is the front of
the invitation is plain off-white, and the watercolor is inside. We don't like
that look, even with a verse printed on the front of it, it still looks odd.
So we are going tofold them the other way, with the wording on the front
and plain on the inside with maybe a verse, maybe not.

That may be the least of your worries by the time the wedding rolls around
but if it's important to you, go with what you really want.

This is really funny because I'm using the exact same invitations (Heart
Thoughts -- watercolorish pastel background) and I'm doing the exact same
thing as you in terms of folding them all inside out. Great minds think
alike!

How many wedding invitations do you really remember from those
you have received? Probably none. Read them, jot down the date
on your calendar and toss. Pretty expensive for that purpose,
don't you think? Spend your money where it will show or last
ie: photographer, food, honeymoon... Just my opinion. Have a
good time!
