Does it sound natural to say "I'm gonna go look for invitation cards and wedding rings?
If I go out with my fiancee to go find a shop that designs and makes invitation cards and also another shop for wedding rings. Does it sound natural to say any of these?
1. I'm gonna go look for invitation cards and wedding rings.
2. I'm gonna browse invitation cards and wedding rings.
3. I'm gonna go choose invitation cards and wedding rings.
Is there better way to say in this kind of context?
Thank you.

Yes, it does sound natural and is perfectly acceptable for informal, spoken English. Many native speakers of English would be totally comfortable with saying it exactly as you have, and even those that don't tend to use 'gonna' would understand you perfectly. Just one small correction: "I'm gonna browse FOR invitation cards and wedding rings."
The way you have expressed yourself shows that you feel pretty much at home with English. Keep up the good work.

1. I'm gonna go look for invitations (Simply "Invitations" is more natural.) and wedding rings. - This means you have not yet found and you will go find.
2. I'm gonna browse invitation cards and wedding rings. - This means to look over invitations already found and perhaps choose one.
3. I'm gonna go choose invitation cards and wedding rings. - This means you have an amount of invitations and you will pick one.

You could try "invitations".
choose - means decide.
browse means look, maybe choose, maybe not.
