I opted for the recycled paper -- it's just thick enough not to be flimsy. There is only one inherent design element that is a little odd -- the dot between the street address and the city. It looks like a period (and possibly a typo). There probably is a way to edit out that automatically generated feature, but I didn't find it. I also didn't look that hard because I thought it wasn't that big a deal -- and it's not. But it's the one thing people comment on when I show them the invitation. Everything else about it is great. It came out exactly as it appeared on my monitor. I chose to print additional information on the back. I ended up with a slightly lighter grey box (the exact color of the front of the invitation) with a true black border. It is exactly as it appeared on the screen, but I thought maybe it would print differently. I'm not bothered by this, but just know that what you see is what you will get.

We ordered this invitation first as just a sample because I loved the color combination. We ordered many other samples invitations (thanks to Zazzle Black). But ultimately ended up coming back to this (our first) because is simply was exactly what I was looking for. I actually ended up using the color pallet for our entire wedding! We had an outdoor ceremony and inside reception and these invitations were the perfect introduction for our guests to the type of event we were planning. Not too fancy but also not a casual evening wedding. The colors were vibrant and the paper was just the right amount of weight. We ordered the matching RSVP cards, the mauve envelopes with return address printed on the back, the belly bands to tie it all together, and the menus. Postage to send all this out was only .78 each. We highly recommend these invites and this seller was very responsive, our orders went out very timely. Thank you so much! We were so happy with all your paper products! I was extremely satisfied with the colors of our invitations. I couldn't have been happier with the print!

The product exceeded my expectations and was of high quality. the paper was thick and was a perfect invitation for my wedding. the colors were just as expected and vibrant. I have no worries that those receiving the invitations will know how much work was put into the product.
