C looks fresh and new

I looked carefully and thoughtfully at all four designs, and selected D as my favorite. Although I find all four to be aesthetically pleasing and dramatic, I decided that I don’t like the “fraction bar” or dividing line between the letters, as is featured with A through C. In a sense, the line provides balance and division between the names, but in my eyes, it is separating the letters too much. I know it isn’t intended to be a barrier or territory mark, but somehow my eyes just jump back and forth too much with it. The flowing design in D is sophisticated, whimsical, and graceful, and since your eyes have to linger over it for an extra second, you wind up really *seeing* it and absorbing it. Since I am a fan of dingbats, decorative icons, and logos, I do like the adornments that are set with A-C. But the fact that D doesn’t need extra ornamentation is appealing to me. Some people may see it as old fashioned or generic, but I embrace it as classic, gentle, and full of personality. Gorgeous, well done!

I really like B as it satisfies both sides of my personality. I have the business side that was drawn to A as it is very efficient, stylish, no-nonsense, and the bride side of my was drawn to D as it is floaty, romantic, very creative.

To me B has the best of both worlds you still have the strong lines in the font of A but the design on top and bottom of the diamond shape really appeal to the girly side of me so the best of both of my personalities (not to say I split personalities hee hee) is represented.

I love C. It is timeless and classic with a touch of girly whimsy. It is bold and stands out in a crowd as something different. I think it is the Reese Witherspoon of designs- Classic, timeless, of the moment stylish, and always perfectly appropriate.

I agree with the other posters – C is my favourite. It is the perfect “marriage”… both feminine and masculine, contemporary yet traditional, strong yet delicate – A great combination, much like Abby Jean and Fontaine Maury. Best of luck with the joint venture!

Unlike many of the above posts, I think that C might be a little too bold or harsh for my wedding style. I absolutely love D. I might be a little too traditional or minimalist, but I just think that D sets the tone of the event so well. My eye is drawn to the monogram, then the information, and it is just so easy to read and understand. From what little I know about graphic design, the eye most easily remembers something that it sees from top left to bottom right, so this design is perfect. I would love to have this design to set the tone of my own wedding. Unlike an earlier post, this design lets you focus on the elegance of a beautiful wedding, and not get lost in worrying about the monogram!

congrats! how exciting. i’d say, if we’re just talking about the monogram, i like “b” the best. it’s classic yet modern. however i don’t like the centered text, but, i love the right justified text! so hip! hope the feedback is helpful. and what girl wouldn’t love personalized stationary, right?!

I forgot to mention that if you were selling A-C as a blank stationary sheet w/ envelope – I would buy one of each in a minute!
