Pocket fold invites - what colours look best?

Hi, I'm totally lost atm with what colours to use with my diy pocket fold invitations. The pocket folds are ivory and the paper is ivory I want to use a glitter card mat to stick the invite on but not sure if to use silver or blue. Our wedding colour is turquoise blue. Just not sure what will look better or if I should use a different colour paper then ivory. Thank you

Hi Charlene, How exciting! I think adding turquoise blue would be a nice touch. Using your wedding colours in an invitation is always the way to go. If you have some time up your sleeve, please contact me about glitter cards. I have quite a few turquoise & blue glitter papers available and I can send samples to you to check which colour fits best. There are quite a few different ivories out there, so some blues might clash if the ivory is too strong. If you are unsure about making the glitter paper turquoise, you could use the silver and then add the turquoise in another way (with ribbon, etc). Cheers, Lava x

Hi Charlene, pocket invitations look best in ivory, white or black in papers such as shimmer or plain. Hope this has been of help! Marie, BW REPORTER

Hi Charlene

I think its always great to incorporate your wedding colour into your invitations, whether its in the form of a backing mat or an envelope liner, so I would suggest that you use turquoise blue rather than silver. If your pocket folds are ivory then I would also stick with ivory card/paper for the invitations. Hope that helps! Have fun putting your invitations together!!

Hi Charlene

There are a couple of shades of ivory so it needs to be your choice as to which colour fits best. Turquoise Blue is beautiful so wouldn't add another shade of blue if you can't get the turquoise.
