    We haven't decided yet, but I guess they are going to be mixed... Just trying to stay with one color/theme

    Invites & RSVP cards match, but not Save the Dates or Thank yous.

    Probably mixed up? We are using the wicklow county tartan which is emerald green and navy blue. It will be the altar table cloth, table runners, kilts and sashes. I'm even considering adding a bow of it on the back of my dress to hide the zipper. For the invitations, we got the only simple green and blue theme that I was able to find at vistaprint which is a nature scene (green grass, bluish mountains) but then used that throughout invitations, RSVPs and thank you cards.

    We're doing a mix because our invitations won't have any photos, we're not using RSVP cards and our thank you cards will probably have a lot of photos

    Mixing it up. They're all similar with cream and sage green colors and florals, but the designs are all different for the save the dates, magnets, invitations, RSVPs, and envelopes.

    Our save the dates had our engagement photo on it with a circle of flowers and the invitations will have something different. However the RSVP and the thank you cards will look like the invitations.

    I like the idea of mixing it up. Having the same theme, but having each insert be just a little different from the last. keeps it interesting!

    I made my own save the dates but tied in the colors; as for the invites I haven't gotten to those yet. I originally planned on making my own but now I'm not so sure. We are probably only having the invite sent out and all other detials online so I won't have a lot of choice with mixing insert designs but they probably won't be the same as the save the dates. I'll probably stick with the theme but pull in different elements for all paper products.

    My save the date will be different from my invitation. But everything is in the same color scheme.

    I went with clean cohesive, because that's what seemed easiest. But i like the idea of switching it up, within reason! i think people look to your invitation for inspiration in what your wedding will be like and what the theme will be. If your invitations are completely unrelated, it can be confusing. But if you stick within the same style or theme or colors, it's a fun idea and a great way to incorporate some personality!

    Matching for everything for the invitation. The style of our Save the Dates were way different than what we are doing for the invitations though.
