Bought this paper to use for formal invitations to a charity event. Since I was unable to feel the paper before I bought it I had to buy first and regret it later. Paper is way too thin for the application intended so had to find another paper stock to use. Not sure how I'll even use this ream of paper so it will sit on a shelf. Live and learn.
The cream color is fine. Ivory would have served my purpose better and 24# paper would have been perfect. There is nothing wrong with the cream paper you just did not have ivory in 24#.
