Do pastel cards suit a hall reception?
Yes, especially a lunchtime one. For an evening hall reception, pick a pastel design with gold, like Peoni Blush Emas, so the card does not feel too light.

Pastel is the theme for families who can't settle on one colour. The bride's side in dusty pink, the groom's in lilac, the siblings in peach. A good pastel card holds all of that without looking messy. Here are eight real pastel designs from the catalogue, and the one mistake to avoid.
Eight pastel designs drawn from several catalogue categories. Tap any of them to open the catalogue.
Some pastel cards commit to one colour: Mawar Lembayung is lilac throughout, Lavender Kabus is soft violet, Peoni Blush Emas is pink with gold.
Others mix. Peranakan Pastel has bands of Nyonya tiles top and bottom; Adat Pelamin Manggar is cream blushed with pink. If your family's sedondon covers several colours, the mixed kind is the safer pick.
Pale pink names on a cream ground disappear when a guest opens the card in the sun outside the hall. The pastel designs in our catalogue set the names in a dark plum or charcoal and keep the pastel for the background. When you preview, turn your screen brightness down. If the names still read easily, you're good.

Pastel is a palette; watercolour is a painting technique. Many watercolour cards are pastel, but a pastel card can also be tiled, graphic or traditional.
