Invitation design opinion?

Invitation design opinion? 1
So I wanted our initials at the top of our invitation in the "S&Z" format. I was sent our invite proof by the designers and loved them. This is it, I didn't see a problem with it but my mother made a comment and said she'd never seen an and symbol look like that.
Are other people going to turn their nose up at it too or should I just ask the designer to change it before 8 approve? It looks like they utilized that shape to better fit our initials, I don't know how cohesive "&" would look.

    I’ve also never seen an & symbol look like that and honestly wouldn’t have known that’s what it was until you said it. It looks great! But people may not get the meaning of it.

    I haven't seen such a design before. But I like it, it's very minimalistic and stylish

    I personally thought it was an L when I saw it and assumed that was going to be the first initial of the last name you guys would share. I still think they could come up with a stylized & that would fit if that's something you want to have them change.

    I think it looks like a cursive S. Also the fact that it’s so much larger than the S and Z seems odd.

    Honestly, I also wouldn't know that it's meant to be something a "&" but I like the idea. I agree with Amanda that what makes it seem even weirder is that it's larger than your actual initials!

    I would change it to a more traditional ampersand symbol (&Smiley winking. You could also use plus (+) instead.

    We have the same initials! 😂 We used a more traditional scripted “&” on our belly band for our invitation suit.

    It looks more like an L than an ampersand to me. I also agree with what someone else said that it's odd that it's larger than your initials.

    I like the way it looks but I agree, it doesn't immediately make me think of an ampersand. I think it's pretty but too abstract to make me think of that.

    I agree with everyone else, the design itself is minimal which I love, but the symbol doesn't make me think of an ampersand. I thought it was an 'L' for maybe the last name.
