Posting on AIBU for traffic - not a remotely interesting one sorry!

I'm planning a family party and getting all creative today with the invites and design...

Could I please ask which of the attached would you go for?

Details are all mocked up not our actual names or locations.

Thank Mumsnet for any thoughts!

🙄 Have !

imnottoofussed · 09/09/2017 16:51

Top left

Allthebestnamesareused · 09/09/2017 16:52

I like number 3 (Bottom Left)

innagazing · 09/09/2017 16:55

I don't like top right t all as it's too heavy. My favourite is top left (1) but the other two are ok too.

Sgtmajormummy · 09/09/2017 16:59

The bottom left "jumped out" at me.

I'm not a fan of Italics for giving clear messages.

Lower right has more of a 50's diner kind of look, so unless you're going for a 50's vibe I would avoid that one. The top right seems too aggressive with the bold font. I do prefer both on the left because they looked more relaxed and laid back.

GreenShadow · 09/09/2017 17:03

Oh dear. In a minority, but I like top left best.

The more the merrier as long as you bring booze! Grin

Planning to get a respectable amount of prosecco in to start things off with - then have a street food BBQ stand and bouncy castle outside for the family kiddies.

Inside we'll have a cake stand, pimp my prosecco table, and popcorn and ice cream sundae bar.

And dancing later.

Rule is no presents but yes please to the booze!

I prefer those on the left, especially the top one, as they seem to bounce along as if promising more fun, whereas those on the right are heavier and more ponderous. Agree though that the lower left is clearer - could you make the top left bolder?

Needalifeoverhaul · 09/09/2017 17:11

Bottom right

Doobigetta · 09/09/2017 17:13

Top left.

RedastheRose · 09/09/2017 17:13

Top right first then bottom left. But nothing wrong with any of them.

noradurst · 09/09/2017 17:16

bottom left!

Alexandra87 · 09/09/2017 17:19

I forgot to vote. Top right.

Is the bouncy castle dog proof?

As long as it's hand engraved with gold lettering onto a stiff white card, you'll be fine. Wink

doughnutobssession · 09/09/2017 18:49

Bottom left

Subtlecheese · 09/09/2017 18:52

Bottom left. Definitely not the darker/ bolder two.

Louiselouie0890 · 09/09/2017 19:18

Bottom left. Top right is too heavy and clunky

fartypantz · 09/09/2017 19:21

Nice one Pax. You are officially exempt from the BYOB clause!

Now, I didn't want to influence the democratic process, but I too was also towards bottom left over own personal second choice top right, and if based on the invite alone I'd be going with this.

BUT. New spanner in the works.

Part of the whole creative effort was to have a "theme" across the whole party - I wanted to align invites with shabby chic A4 photo frames highlighting key party pieces, i.e. the on a shoe string photo booth, beer barrel, pop corn / sundae bar and pimp my prosecco stand yes, I've been looking at far too much pinterest.

Bottom left Janda Snickerdoodle is just not working for me for when contrasted for these against top right Rum Raisin (see example).

Thoughts people please...?
