Orla 
Angelica The winner is... ANGELICA!
I choose Angelica over Orla for a couple of reasons. Back in Dec. Mr. Olive and I choose Angelica but then when it came time to order the invites I started having second thoughts. It felt funny to be sending out invites with fall leaves in June... so I started looking at other options.I stumbled upon Orla and I loved the rustic feel and thought it was a great option. Invitesite allows you to order one free sample so I ordered Angelica (back in Dec) and my SIL-to-be ordered a sample of Orla for me in March. When the sample of Orla came in the mail it was not what I had imagined. First, the paper was much more orange than brown. Secondly, the assembly and the opening of the invitation was more complicated than Orla. SIL-to-be opened the invite when it arrived but after she took it out of the envelope she couldn't figure out how to get it back together again. Finally, Mr. Olive liked Angelica more so we stuck with our first choice of Angelica and I am glad we did!
