Solid Color Invitations for Your Personality
Color choices and your personality may be closely related. Psychological research has shown that different colors have different affects on our feelings and that the colors we are most attracted to says a lot about who we are. For example, fans of the color gray may be middle-of-the-road folks who try to stay in neutral in disputes. They don’t get all worked up over most issues.
When you’re choosing colors for the invitations to any type of party - weddings, birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, etc – the colors you choose are going to be important. Not only do they tell recipients about you and your party, but they can even help change your moods or the moods of your guests.
Blue & Green: What They Say About You
Two popular colors are blue and green. They appear frequently in invitations and other types of cards. But what do these colors mean? Blue is a color of peace and tranquility. Looking at a blue object can actually lower your blood pressure and reduce your pulse rate. Green, on the hand, is associated with growth, nature, and striving to achieve a goal. When combined, as in these Blueberry Lime invitations, blue and green are a powerful combination. The combination could symbolize working towards the attainment of tranquility. This choice might be good if you have a hot-temper but want to calm down or if you want to create a relaxed atmosphere at your party.
Shades of Red: Fiery Colors & Your Personality
Red is definitely a color that stands out. That’s one of the reasons why it’s used in stop signs and stop lights – it grabs your attention. Generally, red is a color of strong emotions: rage, passion, lust, excitement. Just as the color blue can lower your blood pressure, red can cause it to spike. Similar colors, such as pink, orange, and yellow, all have similar effects to a lesser degree. Yellow, for example, represents happiness. When these colors are combined as they are in the Cherry Orange and Orange Raspberry invitations then you are probably trying to excite the recipients about your party or improve their (or your) mood. Reds and similar hues are definitely great pick-me-ups.
Combining Colors: The Best of Both Worlds
What do you do if you want an invitation that is both exciting and relaxing? What if you want your guests to relax at your party but still have a great time? You can always combine colors from both of these color camps. Just take a look at the Lemon Lime, Blueberry Orange, and Raspberry Lime invitations to get an idea of how amazing some of these combinations can be.
