I hate my wedding invitations. What do I do? Is it worth it to pay for more invitations? The background of my invitation is fine; however, the print is too dark for invitation. Any idea on what to do to minimize the print of fix the invitation.

Because you like the background of the invitation (and by 'background' I assume the actual cardstock), try to salvage what you can. Visit your local copy shop (or print yourself) with the font and text that is better suited to your needs, and select a paper that coordinates with the color scheme of the invitation. You should be able to make copies for a few cents per page in black, and a bit more for color. Then, have them cut to fit just slightly less than the dimensions of the invitation. Using adhesive, adhere the new copies onto the existing background. And you'll end up with a sophisticated layered-look invitation.
For example, if your invitation measures 5" x 7", have the new copies cut to 4 1/2" x 6 1/2", leaving a quarter-inch border showing the background cardstock.
Another alternative that depends a bit more on 'how' the invitation is actually designed would be incorporating a vellum overlay. When laid over any graphic or text, a translucent vellum can really soften or 'diffuse' the look -- which may work if you find your text to be too dark.
