A Pink By Any Other Shade...

So we had ordered out Save-The-Date's a couple weeks ago... guess what arrived today (a week ahead of schedule)?!?  As anxious as I was to see them, I was also nervous...

You see, there are SO MANY different shades of pink! 

Our color is a bold hot pink/magenta... Not too purple, not too red, and DEFINITELY not light pink.  I've had so many issues trying to get that color right.  Depending on which printer I use (2 at school, 1 at home, etc...) I get a different shade even printing the exact same thing.  The shade of pink that I like printed at school (I use it on all of my answer keys) actually looks like a funky light purple on the screen.  But the shade I like on the screen prints red.

If I had printed the myself, I could've done guess-and-check (yes, I'm a math teacher) to see when color I liked best... But as it was, I had NO CLUE how the printers at VistaPrint operate, and had to print them all at once, so it was pretty much a crapshoot on picking the color of pink.  I just picked one that was somewhere in between the ones I liked on all the different printers and crossed my fingers.

So as I opened the box, my eyes immediately went to the pink...

AND IT'S PERFECT!

A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.  If it came out wrong, would I have to re-print them?  Change the wedding color?  Let it clash with the other wedding stuff?

^^^ Not stuff I have to worry about anymore! ^^^

Another thing crossed off my to-do list!

And I'm so anxious to share them... don't know if I should post a picture, or wait to mail them out this fall.  That's been the hardest thing about this blog... I get so excited about things (BM gifts, favors, details, invitations, etc...) that I can't wait to share them.  But I also kinda feel like it's ruining the suprise...

To Share, or Not To Share.  That is the question, but what is the answer? You tell me!

(And I should get some Kudos for putting versions of two different Shakespeare quotes into one blog post!)
